Driver Performance Analysis System (DPAS) for Businesses
DPAS for Your Company
As a safety manager, fleet manager or business owner, how would you like to determine which drivers are at greater risk of being involved in a crash? Suncoast Safety Council's Driver Performance Analysis System (DPAS) program allows you to do just that.
DPAS has been utilized by fleet operators, insurance agencies, and hiring managers for years to accurately evaluate individual driver knowledge and behavior, and predict a driver's crash probability. This assessment can be completed at the office or at home, using any computer of your choosing.
Why Use DPAS?
DPAS is an easy-to-use driver capability assessment solution that effectively addresses the risk related to employee driving, including:
- Pre-employment Qualification
- High(er) Risk Employee Identification & Management
- Improved Risk Management to Reduce Claims
- Insurance Premium Savings from Reduced Future Claims
- Post Incident Employee Management
How Does it Work?
The DPAS program is a 30 minute online video assessment, that presents 100 crash-related driving scenarios. Employees taking the evaluation view a scenario, listen to a statement regarding each scenario and are asked to agree or disagree with the statement, within 5 seconds.
The rapid decision making combined with the crash-contributing scenarios, emulates critical aspects of "real-world" driving and accurately predicts an individual's likelihood of being involved in a crash.
The results are generated by analyzing the interdependence in responses and utilizing more than 300 underlying formulas that define the complex relationship among variables that contribute to crash probability. Best yet - results are available immediately, so you can make a decision regarding whether to hire that new driver or send your current ones for more training.
