Scoping current practices in driver performance monitoring and feedback – Preliminary Research

Background:

There is currently diversity of approach across Australia to driver performance monitoring and feedback and limited dissemination of best practice. As a result there are a number of inefficiencies, such as operators find themselves training and retraining drivers after every track incident with consequent costs and inefficiencies. This project will identify current practice in driver performance monitoring and what would be needed to meet the needs of the industry into the future.

Objective:

The project aims to identify relevant stakeholders, their expertises and engage them in the larger project.  

Project scope:

In this preliminary stage, the project will identify major stakeholders, their current policies and practices and industry concerns as well as obtain stakeholder agreement for further evaluation towards a national framework.

Benefits:

The project will facilitate the development of a national driver performance monitoring and feedback system by identifying major stakeholders, their current practices and their perspective on those practices.

Expected outcomes:

1) Survey and summary of existing driver performance monitoring and feedback systems in all jurisdictions.

2) Preliminary needs assessment report on the major problems as identified by industry.

3) Written stakeholder agreement from major entities identified.

Project timeframe:

2 months
