Cranfield University - Online Driver Risk Assessment

[Darren]

Cranfield University have launched an online "Driver Risk Assessment" system at http://www.drivermetrics.co.uk

Costs £20 for a report, however, wouldn't this be a useful tool as part of an IAM/RoSPA driving assessment. As well as using technology and tools to show how a driver can improve?

This is something IAM Fleet have been trying to do and something I also wanted to get going on here.

Let me know your experiences.

personally i think £20 is a bit much for what it is, a telly feature can bring in a lot of income, just look at the Life Expectancy Calculator http://www.livingto100.com/ featured on the programme Change The Day You Die

Unlike the "score 4 if you answered A, 3 if you answered B.........20-29.... youre ...... 30 - 39 you're ....." questionnaires you see in newspapers these people make a good business model; for the £20 you'll get a personalised score but no idea how it was calculated

i guess it stops folk having both the questions and the scoring pattern and changing it just enough so it doesn't infringe copyright.... not that anyone would of course

I've been to a couple of their seminars and they are quite good, we also got free trials of the software. It is ok but i would say £20 is way too much myself. However i would congratulate them on their efforts.
