What is a g-force?

A g-force (gravitational-force) is a measure of acceleration (acceleration, deceleration, or turning) applied to the AVL unit installed in a vehicle.

G-force (accelerometer) sensors inside the AVL identify aggressive driving patterns, allowing organisations to implement efficient methods to at least reduce, if not put a stop to them altogether.

Monitoring and reducing g-force events can result in the following benefits:

• eradicate causes of aggressive driving

• reduce collisions

• lower maintenance costs

• prevent fuel wasting

• improve driver safety

• decrease your fleet’s environmental footprint

Available reports for g-force reporting in Smartrak include:

• Vehicle Behaviour Report - Vehicle Behaviour Report

• Vehicle Score Report - Vehicle Score Report (additional custom report - raise a ticket in the service desk to enable this report.)
