Automakers have been using telematics technology to develop systems that monitor vehicles in motion. They have also been developing increasingly sophisticated sensors that detect a vehicle approaching road signs. Insurers have taken a keen interest in these developments and designed systems that enable them to track a driver’s performance. When you sign up for your insurance company’s telematics program, they’ll install a device that integrates with your vehicle’s technology, allowing them to monitor how well you’re driving, following road rules, and obeying speed limits.
The Patons App lets you view the driving scores of your vehicle, or the vehicles in your fleet. Individual driving scores are awarded for acceleration, braking and speed and displayed as red, amber or green. The scores can be viewed instantly for the previous day, week or month along with the number of journeys, hours driving and miles travelled. Everything you need in one place.
Benefits of Telematics
- Monitor driving style to help lower insurance premiums
- Safer driving reduces chances of being involved in a collision
- Less erratic driving saves fuel and wear and tear on your vehicle
