The Top 6 Dashboards Your Fleet Needs to Improve Safety

Visibility is key to safer operations, and fleet management software makes that possible. By collecting real-time data from vehicles, assets, and driver behavior, and turning it into clear, actionable dashboards, companies gain the insight needed to reduce risk and improve accountability. Dashboards act as a command center, giving fleet and safety managers a customizable view of the fleet data that matters most. These tools help transform day-to-day decisions through better visibility, accountability, and action. 

Let’s take a closer look at six dashboards that help elevate fleet analytics and drive safer operations. 

1. Safety Dashboard: Solve Top Fleet Safety Challenges 

The Safety Dashboard equips fleet and safety managers with the tools they need to proactively manage risk and improve driver behavior. Here's how it addresses common safety challenges: 

• Visibility Gaps: Delivers a comprehensive view of safety performance across the fleet, helping managers spot trends, patterns, and outliers they might otherwise miss. 

• Driver Risk: Pinpoints risky driving behaviors and frequent violators through event-based scorecards and camera data, enabling targeted coaching. 

• Speeding & Aggressive Driving: Tracks and quantifies speeding incidents, making it easier to identify and address repeat or severe offenders. 

• Inspection & Compliance Issues: Monitors DVIR violations to ensure that vehicle inspections are completed and safety defects are properly managed. 

The safety dashboard simplifies the process of identifying risk, improving driver performance, and maintaining compliance, helping safety managers create a safer and more efficient transportation operation. 

2. Tire Pressure Visualization Dashboard: Prevent Blowouts and Monitor Tire Pressure Trends 

The Tire Pressure Visualization Dashboard provides companies with a clear view of tire pressure trends over time, tracking how many miles are driven with underinflated tires. Visualizing this data across individual vehicles or the entire fleet helps identify risks and drive safer operations. 

This module addresses several key safety challenges: 

• Reduces tire blowout risk by detecting pressure issues early. 

• Improves driver and vehicle safety by detecting issues that may cause traction loss or braking hazards. 

• Reveals preventive maintenance gaps such as slow leaks. 

• Enhances accountability by showing how long unsafe conditions persist. 

With this insight, fleet managers can take proactive steps to protect drivers and prevent accidents. 

3. Scorecard History Dashboard: Turn Driver Behavior Data into Actionable Insights 

The Scorecard History Dashboard helps fleet and safety managers improve driver safety in the transportation industry by tracking driver performance trends over time. It monitors each fleet or driver’s safety grade and point deductions, categorized by the reason for each event, such as speeding, hard braking, fast acceleration, or tailgating. 

By providing historical visibility into how and why driver scores change, this dashboard supports: 

• Proactive coaching based on recurring behaviors. 

• Targeted safety improvements at the individual or fleet level. 

• Data-driven decisions to reduce risk and improve road safety. 

In short, the Scorecard History Dashboard turns driver behavior data into actionable insights that enhance safety culture and operational efficiency. 

4. Machine Health Dashboard: Spot Mechanical Issues Before They Lead to Downtime  

The Machine Health Dashboard plays a critical role in transportation safety by providing real-time visibility into the condition of fleet vehicles. Displaying Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), such as engine warnings, helps safety and maintenance teams identify mechanical issues that could lead to dangerous and costly on-road events. 

Key benefits include: 

• Early detection of potential safety risks before they impact drivers. 

• Visibility into critical system failures, like brakes or engine faults. 

• Improved driver safety through faster issue resolution. 

By monitoring asset health and alerting teams to mechanical faults, the dashboard helps prevent incidents, reduce downtime, and keep both drivers and vehicles safe. 

5. Alarm Heatmap Dashboard: Visualize Risk Across Locations and Events 

The Alarm Heatmap Dashboard enhances transportation safety by visualizing where and how frequently safety-related alarms occur across a fleet. This powerful tool allows safety managers to analyze patterns by location, date, and alarm type, helping them identify high-risk areas and behaviors that require attention. 

Key safety challenges it helps address: 

• Driver behavior risks such as speeding, distracted driving, and tailgating.

• Vehicle-related issues include low tire pressure, high tire temperature, vehicle offline, low battery, and DTC alarms.

• Operational concerns like off-hours vehicle use, ELD disconnections, and HOS Violations.

By pinpointing where and when alarms occur most, the Alarm Heatmap supports targeted interventions, improves training efforts, and enables data-driven safety strategies—ultimately reducing risk and improving fleet-wide safety performance. 

6. Historical Location Search Map Dashboard: Verify Events with Location History  

The Historical Location Search Map Dashboard is a valuable tool for enhancing transportation safety and protecting fleet operations. It allows users to search past vehicle locations to determine if an asset was in a specific area at a specific time. 

This functionality supports: 

• Dispute resolution – Quickly verify or disprove customer complaints (e.g., “your truck hit my mailbox”). 

• Liability protection – Provide location data to defend against false claims or legal issues. 

• Trespassing prevention – Confirm whether a vehicle entered unauthorized or restricted areas. 

• Incident investigation – Reconstruct vehicle movement during or before a reported safety incident (e.g., near-miss, collision, or property damage). 

• Route compliance & driver accountability – Verify adherence to approved routes, stops, and schedules. 

• Curfew or unauthorized use detection – Identify vehicle movement during off-hours or restricted periods. 

By offering precise location history, this dashboard improves accountability, reduces legal risk, and supports safer, more transparent operations. 

Dashboards bring together the tools, metrics, and fleet data needed to run safer, more efficient operations. By giving teams real-time visibility into safety events, driver performance, and asset health, they empower proactive decision-making and risk reduction. Whether you're coaching drivers, preventing breakdowns, or identifying high-risk areas, these six dashboards are essential to building a safer, more accountable fleet.
