    How Technology Can Help Tackle Driver Distraction with Paul Ripley & Ted Chen

    How Technology Can Help Tackle Driver Distraction with Paul Ripley & Ted Chen

    Every day, roughly 100 people in the United States are killed in road crashes. Globally, that number is approximately Ten to 15% of those deaths are directly attributable to distracted driving. 


    Driving distracted increases the chances of a motor vehicle crash by at least 23 times. Statistically, distracted driving is as dangerous as driving while impaired by drugs or alcohol. 


    So, what is being done to tackle distracted driving?


    In this latest episode of Global Road Safety, we’re joined by two special guests: Paul Ripley, founder of Distraction 999 and the 2020 winner of the Prince Michael of Kent Special Road Safety Award:


    “A lack of skill is the problem. Youngsters’ attitude is 25% of the safety equation, but it's never spoken about, it's never mentioned. So this is why I've gone into the attitudinal stuff and studied that for 28 years. This is the golden nugget of driver safety — it's a mindset, not necessarily a skill set.” Paul Ripley 


    Ted Chen, entrepreneur, and co-founder of LifeSaver Mobile, a company offering a fleet safety solution focused on preventing distracted driving and speeding shares his thoughts on distracted driving.


    “Science tells us that our brains are programmed by this chemical called dopamine to be addicted to the smartphone. Smartphones have provided us with a virtually unlimited supply of social stimuli, both positive and negative.” Ted Chen

    On today’s podcast:

    • The lack of skill in driving
    • A lackadaisical attitude towards safety
    • The effect of the pandemic on the quality of driving
    • How phone usage increases the risk of a crash by 23%

    The Latest Research on Drugged Driving with Dr. Timothy Brown

    The Latest Research on Drugged Driving with Dr. Timothy Brown

    With safer vehicle designed driver assistance, technology and mountains of data available from monitoring devices, why is it that vehicle crashes and deaths continue to rise? 


    With the decades of research, public awareness and marketing that has happened around the world with regards to impaired driving, there's data to suggest that 45 to 50% of all fatal crashes involve a driver under the influence of one or more substances. 


    “When we look at drugs, people may not be aware or perceive that they've got a negative performance impact on their driving… they just are unaware of the fact that they are impaired, they think that they've got it and they express a level of confidence.”


    Given the pace at which cannabis legalisation and use is growing, we spoke with Dr. Timothy Brown, research scientist and director of drug driving research at the University of Iowa College of Engineering, about the impact of cannabis and other drugs on impaired driving. 


    He shares how he became involved in drug driving research, the groundbreaking antihistamine research in the 90s, why it’s complicated to say how much cannabis makes you impaired, at what point does a drug require a driving study from the FDA for approval, and why we aren’t identifying impaired driving as a significant contributor to the upward trends in crash statistics.


    “If we can't document what the problem is, then people believe there's not a problem. That’s the challenge. Distraction wasn't an issue until we started getting stats that showed that there were concerns [about] an increase in folks who were using their cell phones and getting involved in crashes.”

    A Global Perspective on Fleet Management with Raj Bajaj, VP of Webfleet Solutions

    A Global Perspective on Fleet Management with Raj Bajaj, VP of Webfleet Solutions

    For much of our show, we’ve focused on our market here in the United States, but what about the rest of the world?

    Fleet Managers that get assigned to international markets quickly learn just how different other countries operate compared to the United States. 

    Size of roads, availability of refueling stations, access to repairs and maintenance, laws and regulations, traffic density, and accessways, it’s endless, the myriad of systems in play around the world. 

    Meet Raj Bajaj, Vice President for Webfleet Solutions International, a Bridgestone Tire company. They are on a mission to make it easier to operate a fleet anywhere in the world. And to do this, it requires highly sophisticated and localized data plus an intimate knowledge of how each country operates. 

    All of this data is used to gather better insights to make better recommendations on how to more efficiently operate a fleet. 

    If you’ve ever been curious about how international markets prepare for maintenance, how critical infrastructure around the world plays a massive role in how goods are shipped or wanted to know why a tire company would want to buy a software company, this is your episode.

    The Future of Safety is Collaborative: How Together for Safer Roads is Reimagining Safety for the Public and Private Sectors

    The Future of Safety is Collaborative: How Together for Safer Roads is Reimagining Safety for the Public and Private Sectors

    Where does a city turn in order to make their roads safer? Who does a private fleet call to improve driving conditions for its drivers? 

    Because these questions went largely unanswered, a new organization was created to better address solutions for safer roads.

    From companies like ABInbev and UPS to city governments, Together for Safer Roads, or TSR for short, is a global coalition on a mission to create safer roads. David Braunstein is the President of TSR and he joins us today to discuss how the organization has been making impacts for decades. 

    From redesigning roads and intersections, to providing data and data collection systems to improve civil engineering decisions, TSR is playing a part.

    David also discusses how TSR funding helps to enable smaller fleets to gain access to new technologies like Machine Vision or In-Cab cameras to help improve driver safety. 

    And the impacts from these solutions aren’t just local. They are global. Learn more on today’s episode with David Braunstein.

    A Future Without Empty Miles

    A Future Without Empty Miles

    About 35 percent of U.S. trucking miles are driven empty. This means that roughly 1 in 3 trucks we see on the road are empty, traveling between jobs, burning fuel, time, and miles with nothing to haul and no money being made.

    Convoy is on a mission to change that. 

    Joining the podcast today is Grant Goodale. Grant is the founder, former CTO, and now CXO of Convoy, an on-demand trucking service for arranging regional and local shipments.

    Today, Grant tells us how his team is transforming the trucking and shipping industry by helping connect drivers and companies with orders around the country. Grant talks about how they built the Convoy network from the ground up, how they vet for and encourage safety among drivers, and how they are building a future without those time-sucking, fuel-guzzling empty miles.

    The Journey to Electric: A Deep Dive Into EV Fleets

    The Journey to Electric: A Deep Dive Into EV Fleets

    Earlier this season we sat down with Giovanni Bertolino of Enel X to discuss electric vehicles and the infrastructure needed to support them. Today, we dive even deeper into the world of EVs and what you need to know about implementing them in your fleets. 

    Joining us for that discussion is Tim Campbell, the founder and Managing Director of Campbells Consultancy. He is one of the UK's most experienced commercial vehicle consultants in helping fleets transition from diesel to electric or hydrogen fuel cells. As he puts it, switching to “alternatively-fuelled vans or trucks is the start of the journey, not the end.”

    In today’s conversation, Tim takes on that journey and helps answer the questions you don’t even know to ask about switching to EVs. From how to power your vans to what type of chargers to use to why it matters whether or not you are leasing your land to the role weather and location play in it all, Tim shares his take on everything you need to know about EV fleets.

    Labor Unions, Labor Shortages, and Thriving in Today’s Economy

    Labor Unions, Labor Shortages, and Thriving in Today’s Economy

    Today’s guest is Jerry Glass, the President and founder of F&H Solutions Group, a consulting firm that advises companies on a range of labor issues. As a company, Jerry and his team have negotiated more than 800 collective bargaining agreements, and, as he puts it, over the 15 years since he founded the company, “they’ve seen everything.”

    Jerry offers a valuable look into labor unions, labor shortages, and how today’s economy is affecting transportation companies. He discusses the necessity for apprentice and on-the-job training programs, why managers and owners have to start thinking about hiring from a 5-year and 10-year perspective if they want to have long-term success, and how to work with unions to embrace new safety technology. Plus, Jerry touches on the increased competition for workers we are seeing across all industries, why that competition is causing smaller operators to get squeezed out, and what you can do to stay relevant in today’s economy.
