Fatigue is a factor in 20% of fatal crashes in Australia

Driving is the #1 cause of work-related fatalities in Australia and New Zealand. Driver fatigue is a factor in around 9% of fatal crashes in New Zealand, and 20% in Australia, although it is likely under-reported. To keep drivers safe on the road, preventing fatigue is a top priority for safety-conscious fleets.

How it works

Whole-of-fleet fatigue management

Simple alerts that keep drivers ahead of fatigue

Fatigue increases the longer you spend driving. Taking a break from driving may seem simple, but it can help to reduce fatigue. Simple visual and audible alerts remind drivers how long until a rest break is due, or if it is overdue, making it easy to comply with your fatigue management policy.

  • Countdown timers clearly display shift and break time remaining
  • Visual and audible reminders when a break is due, or overdue
  • Any breaches appear in the Driver Safety Report and Vehicle History

Whole-of-fleet cover, not just heavy vehicles

Most heavy vehicle drivers must complete logbooks or work diaries to demonstrate they have taken minimum rest breaks, but what about the rest of your fleet? We believe that a strong fatigue management policy covers all vehicles and drivers, not just those who fall under heavy vehicle regulations. That is why we developed EROAD Drive Buddy Fatigue, a whole-of-fleet solution to improve safety and prevent driver fatigue.

  • Configure the drive time and break time rules for each vehicle, in line with your company's health and safety policies
  • Manage fatigue in vehicles exempt from completing a work diary, such as cars or utes
  • Use it as a companion app to paper work diaries
