The list of bad habits contains the setting for registering violations based on the events of safe driving, taking into account weather conditions and geofences.

Violations linked to bad driving habits are displayed in the “SafeDrive: Driver Rating” and “SafeDrive: Violation Details” reports. If the list of bad habits has not been filled out, the default list of bad habits will be added and activated when the “Safe driving” service is enabled.

In the «Administration» section, open the «Bad habits» tab. A window will open:

To add a bad habit, click on the “Add” link. A window will open:

General

«Active» – stop / start checking events.

«Name» – name of the habit.

«Score» – enter the number of points given to the driver or to the vehicle for the violation.

«Take into account the duration of the violation» – check / don't check the duration of the violation.

«Minimum duration of the violation» – how long can a violation persist before it is recorded. Possible values: from 0 days, 0 h, 0 min, 1 sec to 99 days, 23 h, 59 min, 59 sec. Default value – 30 sec.

The option “Take into account the duration of the violation” is not displayed for the following events:

• Short-term exceeding of maximum speed limit
• Short-term exceeding of allowable speed limit
• Positive acceleration threshold exceeding
• Negative acceleration threshold exceeding
• Lateral acceleration threshold exceeding
• Allowed turning speed exceeding
• Maximum turning speed exceeding

Calculation of penalty points:

• There is only one event in the habit:
  • Duration of the violation divided by the minimum duration of violations, discard the decimal part of the result and multiply by the number of penalty points, add up all the violations for this event.
  • For example, (35/10+25/10)*100=(3+2)*100=500
• There are several events in the habit:
  • The duration of a one-time violation for several events divided by the minimum duration of violations, discard the decimal part of the result and multiply by the number of penalty points.

«Description» – enter the description of the violation.

«Group» – select the group that the habit belongs to.

«Category» – select the category that the habit belongs to.

«Select VH» – selection of vehicles to control bad habits. Click on the Select VH link. Select one or a group of vehicles. If no vehicle or group is specified, bad habits are controlled for all vehicles.
