About
GreenRoad is the leader in driving performance and safety management for fleets and other organizations. GreenRoad helps you dramatically cut costs by delivering sustained improvements in safety, fuel efficiency, and emissions reductions across your vehicle fleet. GreenRoad offers you an automatic way to coach and manage your drivers, resulting in significant savings to your bottom line.
The GreenRoad Automatic Driver Self-improvement Loop™ is the unique way GreenRoad helps you improve driving performance without adding a lot of extra management time and effort. It includes in-vehicle, real-time driver feedback; online automated analysis and dashboards showing accurate, timely, objective driving data; and a driver self-help portal with training videos, materials and other instructional and motivational information.
Research shows that driving behavior contributes to over 90% of vehicle crashes and accounts for up to 33% of fuel consumption. Driving behavior also impacts wear and tear on the vehicle and contributes to maintenance costs. Safety, fuel efficiency, and fleet operating costs are all important to your company – so driving performance matters.
GreenRoad was founded in 2003.
Year after year, GreenRoad innovations continuously earn praise from leading safety, insurance, environmental, and transportation organizations around the world including the global Cleantech 100, Best Risk Management System at BusinessCar Fleet Techies, Safety Award in the Van Fleet World Honours, and GP Bullhound Cleantech Connect Awards.

GreenRoad has been proven to be highly effective in companies of all sizes and across industries. Any organization that uses vehicles in their business operations can benefit from GreenRoad. Whether you have professional drivers who drive for a living or other workers who drive a lot on their job, GreenRoad improves driver performance.
GreenRoad is designed for fleets of all sizes from 25 to 10,000+ vehicles.
GreenRoad supports all types of vehicles, from vans and cars; buses and coaches; mid-sized, large, and big-rig trucks; to service and construction vehicles.
In-Vehicle Feedback
GreenRoad's patented algorithms use high fidelity accelerometer and GPS data to measure and analyze how the vehicle is being driven and provide real-time feedback to the driver. Greenroad assesses driving performance for up to 120 types of driving events. The driving events are classified as yellow or red events depending on the severity of the forces acting on the vehicle during the event. The real-time assessment and driver feedback automatically take into account the characteristics of the vehicle (e.g.: vehicle type, size, configuration) and can be further fine-tuned to address your fleet’s driving conditions and policies.
Sensors analyze up to 120 separate types of driving events in five categories: speeding, cornering, lane handling, braking, and acceleration. GreenRoad also captures and reports on idling events and idling performance.
The GreenRoad driver feedback display provides real-time, in-vehicle feedback from LEDs using a simple "green-yellow-red" color-coded system. If an event is detected, the display will flash yellow or red depending on the risk level of the event. If risky behavior continues, the light goes to solid yellow or red. If there’s a period that follows with no events, the light goes back to green. Optional audio feedback is also available.
The Safety Score
The GreenRoad Safety Score measures the number of driving safety events normalized to the driving time, and represents the level of driving risk for a driver, trip, depot/location, or overall fleet. The higher the number of events generated during a given amount of driving hours, the higher the Safety Score and the higher the driving risk. A safety score of 0-20 represents a “green” level driver; 21-50 represents a “yellow” level driver; and 51+ represents a “red” or high-risk driver. In many organizations, the GreenRoad safety score becomes the primary way that managers and drivers alike discuss safety and driving performance.
If multiple drivers use a particular vehicle in your organization, drivers will receive individual key fobs ("dallas keys") so they can "tag in" to identify themselves to the vehicle when they drive it.
Idling Management
GreenRoad lets you set idling thresholds for the needs of your fleet. Idling performance, which represents the percentage of engine-on time that was spent idling, is presented via at-a-glance charts in GreenRoad Central. You can drill down to see idling performance for individual drivers, trips, or locations. Also, you can view idling events on a map and use the idling "Hot Spots" to take action to minimize or eliminate idling at your top idling locations. GreenRoad uses an innovative approach that assesses idling across all vehicle types without any additional technology, installation, or cost.
There are summary and detailed idling reports for drivers and vehicles showing individual idling events, overall idling performance and locations of idling events on maps. GreenRoad also highlights idling "Hot Spots" so you can take action to save even more fuel. Summary and detailed idling reports can also be automatically emailed to fleet managers on a daily or weekly basis.
Reporting and Analysis
GreenRoad Central is the web-based portal for managers and drivers. It provides access to key performance metrics and easy drill-down into the details behind the numbers. Drivers see only their own information; managers see information for everyone on their teams. GreenRoad also provides email reports delivered to your inbox daily or weekly, covering the information and analysis that meets your fleet's specific needs.
Yes, the Central Dashboard provides visibility into top-level scores and trends and breaks them down into individual trips, events per trip, and locations. Trip maps, heat maps, location maps and other customizable views give managers a quick read on “vital stats” and facilitate coaching conversations by providing objective data – which makes managing your fleet efficient and easy.
GreenRoad provides an extensive set of fleet, driver, or vehicle reports including: Safety History, Trip History, Safety Scores, Driving Safety Events, Driving Hours, Safety Location Heat Maps, Idling Performance, and Idling Heat Maps. Reports are available in the managers' web account, or can be sent via email on a regular schedule.
Yes, drivers log into their own GreenRoad account any time from any Internet connection to see their safety scores, driving history, and specific event feedback. Drivers also receive weekly emails with performance summaries recapping their safety score status and customized improvement feedback.
Real-time Vehicle Visibility
Yes, vehicle location can be viewed "live" at any time with GreenRoad. There are also details such as vehicle identifier, speed, and direction. You always know where your vehicles are and where they are headed.
Advantages
Because of the cost of transmitting and analyzing video footage, camera-based solutions typically use high acceleration / force thresholds to limit the number of events captured to a manageable number. As a result, camera based solutions do not provide visibility into much of the risky driving that takes place. Video events are processed and scored by human operators resulting in subjective assessments of driving risk. Unlike these expensive, camera-based solutions, GreenRoad provides full visibility into risky driving and delivers objective assessment of complex driving maneuvers (not just simple harsh acceleration / braking). GreenRoad is preferred by drivers, supervisors, and unions because the service is designed to improve driving performance—not "spy" on drivers.
GreenRoad is the leader in driving performance and safety management. Proven with more than 70,000 drivers worldwide in a wide range of vehicle types and industries, GreenRoad is the option preferred by leading fleets. With a solid track record for measurable results, GreenRoad reduces crash rates at least 50% and improves MPG 10%. It is the solution endorsed by drivers, union leaders, and managers alike. There's no risk with GreenRoad.
GreenRoad is focused on driving performance and safety management while MRM and telematics based fleet management solutions are focused on addressing fleet/vehicle productivity and operational needs of fleets. While GreenRoad does include core MRM functionality like vehicle location mapping and vehicle route mapping, GreenRoad partners can integrate with your MRM or fleet management solution partner of choice to provide you a best of breed solution. GreenRoad's live GPS data feed can be sent directly to your MRM / fleet management system to power or extend the capabilities of that system. This allows you to leverage your GreenRoad investment to enable your MRM/fleet management solution with GPS without the additional cost & complexity of installing a separate in-vehicle GPS system and incurring duplicate cellular air time charges for the additional in-vehicle system.
