Bus companies drive the same routes, day in, day out. Drivers come and go, new recruits, short term replacements and sickness cover, it’s not easy to make sure that the next driver behind the wheel knows as much as the last.
Performing, and publishing, route risk assessments is the first step in making everyone aware of the things to look out for along the way. That difficult junction, the blind rise, the bus stop around the corner, it’s vital to know that these are identified and communicated to every driver.
MapInsight allows you to upload a route and step along it, using the combination of map, satellite and streetview to see every aspect. You can add annotations to hazards, place markers and review clusters of previous incidents to identify trouble spots.
Generating good risk assessments is one thing, making sure they are used is another. MapInsight creates an interactive, simulation style view of the route that each driver can use as a training tool and a refresher. Using the familiar Google Maps interface, drivers can step along the route, jump from bus stop to stop, or from hazard to hazard and remember just what to look out for.
Drive safer, drive better, with MapInsight.
