Introduction to the FIA Driver Safety Index
Greater Than is excited to announce a groundbreaking collaboration with the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) regarding the newly launched FIA Driver Safety Index (DSI). This innovative tool aims to standardize the measurement of driver risk across various sectors and regions, establishing a new global benchmark for road safety.
The Importance of Driver Safety
Globally, approximately 1.19 million lives are lost each year in road traffic accidents. Addressing these statistics is central to the FIA's mission. By leveraging its extensive network, the FIA seeks to create impactful, long-lasting changes that improve road safety for all individuals.
Understanding the FIA Driver Safety Index Features
The FIA DSI is a subscription-based Software as a Service (SaaS) solution offering organizations a consistent way to measure and compare driver risk. The index provides an actionable scoring system that transcends geographical and industry boundaries.
Powered by advanced AI technology from Greater Than, the DSI uses over 20 years of real-world driving data to analyze GPS information, producing an index that correlates with crash risk. Organizations subscribing to the FIA DSI will have access to both a Global Index and their personalized Index, enabling them to monitor safety levels and benchmark their performance against peers in various regions and sectors.
Benefits of the FIA Driver Safety Index
The introduction of the FIA DSI marks a significant advancement in driver safety initiatives. With its universal scoring system, organizations can pinpoint risks, assess their safety performance, integrate best driving practices, and present clear progress reports to support Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) objectives.
Statements from FIA Leadership
Mohammed Ben Sulayem, President of FIA, stated: "This index enables organizations to communicate driver risk metrics in a standardized manner. The FIA Driver Safety Index is an essential tool for reducing road accidents and fatalities while promoting partnerships that strengthen road safety initiatives both locally and globally."
Willem Groenewald, FIA Secretary General, emphasized: "Collaboration between public and private sectors is key to achieving meaningful road safety outcomes. The FIA Driver Safety Index promotes accountability through continuous measurement and is designed for easy accessibility whilst evolving to incorporate new analytic capabilities to foster safer mobility for all."
Greater Than's Commitment
Johanna Forseke, Chief Business Officer at Greater Than, shared: "The FIA Driver Safety Index exemplifies the power of our AI in transforming road safety. We are proud to support the FIA in advancing its objectives with technology that informs organizations on a global scale and empowers them to take decisive actions toward improved safety measures."
The Role of FIA in Road Safety
The FIA DSI is designed to complement current FIA programs, like the FIA Road Safety Index which evaluates organizations' overall road safety footprint and encourages safe driving practices on an individual level through initiatives like the FIA Smart Driving Challenge. FIA Members globally will play a vital role in promoting and facilitating the adoption of the FIA DSI among various organizations.
