Drive Buddy Fatigue: break reminders for your whole fleet

Anyone who drives for work can get tired, not only the drivers covered by heavy vehicle fatigue rules. Drive Buddy Fatigue lets you set drive and break times for each vehicle, then counts down to the next break on the Ehubo2 screen and reminds the driver when it's due.

How Drive Buddy Fatigue helps you manage fatigue

Time behind the wheel is one cause of fatigue, and one you can plan for. Drive Buddy Fatigue helps your drivers take their breaks on time, to rules that match your health and safety policy, so you can manage driver fatigue in every vehicle you run. For early signs of tiredness such as eye closure and yawning, look at the Clarity Edge Fatigue Camera.

Everyone who drives for you

Your break rules reach the light vehicles too, where there's no work diary to keep.

Drivers know when a break is due

How long until it's due, right there on the screen. Drivers can plan for it instead of finding out it's overdue.

Set rules for each vehicle

A long-haul truck and a service van don't have to share one set of break times.

A record of missed breaks

Breaches show up in the Driver Safety Report, so you can have the right conversations.

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

Driving is the number one cause of work-related deaths in Australia, according to Safe Work Australia. The heavy vehicle fatigue rules only cover heavy vehicles, but someone who's been in a ute since five this morning can be every bit as tired as a truck driver.

What you'll be able to do with Drive Buddy Fatigue

A countdown to the next break

Fatigue builds the longer someone drives, and a break can help bring it down. But only if it happens. That's why the next one sits on the screen in front of them, on the timings you set.

  • Timers showing the shift and break time left
  • A visual and audible reminder when a break is due, and another if it's overdue
  • Breaches listed in the MyEROAD Driver Safety Report

Break rules for light vehicles

We think a strong fatigue policy covers every vehicle and every driver, so Drive Buddy Fatigue runs in the pool car and the ute as much as the truck. Where the heavy vehicle fatigue rules call for a work diary, the driver still fills one in. If someone keeps missing breaks, that's a wellbeing conversation. Not a disciplinary one.

  • Choose the drive time and break time rules for each vehicle, in line with your health and safety policy
  • Manage fatigue in vehicles that don't need a work diary, such as cars or utes
  • Use it alongside paper work diaries
