Driving demands attention, knowledge of traffic laws and, above all, road speed control. In the end, 53,7% of accidents are caused by reckless drivers, being that 30,3% of them occur for violation of laws, according to a study by the Ministry of Transport, Ports and Civil Aviation of Brazil.
the speeding it is one of the imprudence that is at the top of the list of the biggest causes of deaths in traffic.
With these facts in mind, light fleet management has a very noble mission: to raise awareness and educate drivers about defensive driving, to drive safely and preserve their and other lives in traffic.
To contribute with the fleet manager in this mission, technology is essential to understand driver behavior and reduce unsafe behavior.
And the ideal tool for that is the Velocity Per Lane (Vvia), in which, in short, the gofleet identifies the road speed and informs the fleet manager if the driver is exceeding the permitted speed.
With this, it is even possible to observe the real-time alerts so that the manager can monitor violations as they happen, in addition to providing accurate data and reports so that the manager can take more accurate actions to reduce infractions, fines and accidents.

What is Velocity per Road?
For Golfleet, taking care of those working behind the wheel is our highest priority, mainly for companies and managers of light fleets looking to reduce costs, increase productivity and reduce risks.
Furthermore, we also know that Excessive speed, together with alcohol, is the main cause of traffic accidents, not to mention unnecessary expenses with fuel, fines and corrective maintenance.

In view of this, with the Telemetry service, the only way to act directly on driving deviations by identifying risk indicators in a preventive way with your team, we launched the add-on Velocity per Way (VWay).
Thus, our module classifies speeding that occurs both on urban roads and on highways. At all times, VVia identifies the maximum speed allowed on the road and informs the light fleet manager if their drivers are above it.
speed per segment
The speed considered by VVia is the speed of the stretch of road parameterized by the urban and road inspection bodies. Therefore, the same road can have several sections with different speeds, however, the Golfleet system allows to identify them precisely.
Simplicity in data analysis for the fleet manager
Another important point in how Velocity per Road works is its in-depth analysis capability. That is, through the data and information present on the platform and captured by it, the manager can filter reports such as:
- Data
- driver groups
- City and/or states
- Urban roads or highways
- Speed limit per section
- Seriousness of infractions
Heat maps
To efficiently guide companies' actions, investments and security strategies, Velocity by Via also has heat map to visually identify where your drivers commit the greatest number of infractions and put their lives at risk.
Real-time alerts for fleet management
All fleet vehicles have their positions validated by the add-on Velocity per Via (VVia) and, if the manager so wishes, he can activate the real-time alerts.
Thus, monitoring the violations at the exact moment they are committed.
How does Velocity per Lane (VVia) work to reduce risky behavior by drivers?
By purchasing Golfleet's Velocity per Lane module, the light fleet manager now has all the relevant data on the risky behavior committed by his drivers while driving.
In this way and together with the Fleet Policy, the wheeling module and other features of the Golfeet Telemetry e Golfleet Videotelemetry, VVia allows you to have the necessary information about:
- What are the most committed infractions by each driver?
- Which stretches of road have the highest number of violations?
- What are the drivers with the highest and lowest numbers of infractions?
- Among others
That is, through all this, it is possible to elaborate training directed to each of the drivers, increase its Fleet Policy with actions more specific to the infractions committed or even reward or benefit drivers who drive defensively.

Therefore, there are numerous ways to reduction of risk behaviors that the Speed per Track module makes possible for the management of light fleets.
What are the benefits of this module add-on Golfleet?
Among the main benefits of Velocity per Track in your light fleet management, we can mention:
- Reduced fuel costs, corrective maintenance, fines and claims;
- More efficient and safe operation;
- Change in behavior of drivers;
- Understanding the driving profile of each driver;
- Prioritization of the driver's life in the management of light fleets.

Furthermore, VVia provides valuable information for your decision making by offering data such as:
- Most serious offense recorded
- Highest recorded speed
- Total infractions
- List of violations by vehicle or route
- Filters for building reports
- Rankings
- Speed per section of road
- Speed per lane per driver
- Speed per vehicle
- Violation Reports
That is, through all this, your fleet becomes track and understand your driver's behavior, reducing fines and claims and putting an end to fuel waste. In addition, it also helps to preserve vehicles and brings safety and preservation of life to its drivers..
Speed by Road success stories: driver safety comes first
Since safety is a value in cocamar, the executive manager of integrated logistics, Ezequiel Scopel, saw in Vvia the opportunity to reduce the number of unsafe behaviors by its drivers.
Through the "Vida Segura" project, which uses actions to raise awareness about traffic safety and the use of tools such as facial recognition, telemetry and Vvia, Cocamar had a significant reduction in the number of unsafe behaviors. In the third edition of the AHEAD Webcast, Scopel reveals that:
“We built a model in which we managed to reduce to 4 unsafe behaviors in 1000 km driven. Which is a reduction of more than 90%, as before we had 57 of these behaviors in 1000 km driven.”
Other reports from those who acquire the Vvia are in relation to the Reduced maintenance and fuel costs.
Na Festus Brazil, HR intelligence analyst Diogo Dourado Soares says that:
“The Vvia system contributed to reducing maintenance costs with wear items, such as brake pads. We also increased the average consumption of our tires from 35.000 km to 45.000 km.”
In addition, with more constant speeds and following the ideal vehicle running level, Festo Brasil also had a Approximate reduction of 5% in fuel costs per kilometer driven.
Follow more reports of those who used and approved Velocity by Track in light fleet management:
“The use of VVia brought us to another level in terms of controlling the driver's behavioral behavior. With this, we believe that not only do we make a difference so that Festo has the best cost controls, but we also have a direct interference in the safety of our greatest asset, which is the employee.”
(Diogo Dourado Soares – HR Intelligence Analyst and Alessandro de Assis Silva – HR Analyst | Festo Brasil)
“Vvia is being fundamental in Diversey Brasil's fleet management. With it, we are controlling infractions and educational campaigns together with the EHS area. In addition, we created a ranking of infractions, and thus we define the best drivers and encourage healthy competition between them.”
(Marton Kiss – Fleet and Mobility Manager | Diversey Brasil)
“Last month we started to use the Vvia tool more intensively and we have already noticed that this is helping us to assess the profile of our drivers in traffic”
