Security of the transportation fleet in the 21st century!
In an article on the importance of fleet management in the oil and gas industry on the Logiico blog, we discussed the necessity of using fleet management software and controlling fleets in this industry. In today's mini-article, we intend to examine the importance of transportation safety and driver behavior control in this industry. Stay with us.
Why is fleet management software impactful on fleet safety?
As previously mentioned, in the oil and gas industry, transportation safety and operational efficiency are paramount. Fuel tankers leaving refineries and traveling through the city must prioritize safety above all else. The reason for this is clear: a fuel tanker in the city, the description of what might happen in the event of an accident cannot be fully captured in words!
We can examine fleet safety in this industry in the following categories:
- Fleet safety
- Operational personnel safety
- Process execution safety
Fleet safety and its importance in logistics
In the Logiico article on fleet management in the oil and gas industry, we extensively discussed the importance of fleet safety. When we talk about fleet safety, we mean preventing any incidents that could disrupt fleet operations. So how can fleet management software enhance fleet safety? It's a good question, and we'll explore the answer together.
Safety might be considered a broad term, and when we say fleet safety is crucial, we need to explore ways to achieve high safety. Fleet management software helps prevent dangerous driver behaviors and unsafe driving by monitoring driver behavior during driving and notifying management. These behaviors can include:
- Driver fatigue and drowsiness
- Speeding
- Not using seat belts
- Improper braking
According to statistics, using fleet management software has had a significant impact on controlling driver behavior in the following areas:
- 90% reduction in traffic accidents
- 89% reduction in dangerous behaviors
- 86% reduction in speeding
- 88% reduction in not using seat belts
Each of the behaviors we mentioned can cause irreparable financial and personal harm, which can be prevented with a smart investment in fleet management software.
Operational and process safety
Your cargo is your asset, and you need to protect your asset. Being informed about the status of the cargo, cabin pressure and temperature, and similar information ensures confidence in the condition and status of the cargo shipment. Fleet management software provides direct and real-time information to management about the conditions and status of the cargo and fleet during the mission.
The advantage of having direct and real-time information is that it can be a guide in future strategic and tactical planning, allowing management to make important and strategic decisions in this regard.
Conclusion
We reviewed the advantages of fleet management software together. The value and importance of these software solutions in the oil and gas industry and related industries lie in enhancing the safety of cargo shipments, especially within the city. Awareness of the exact location of the fleet, fleet health and safety, and receiving direct and real-time information are all factors that can improve the quality and efficiency of the business and services provided.
