The Eco-drive menu is an overview of economic, proper, and safe driving styles of both drivers and vehicles which are rated by scores and displayed on the page.
To access the Eco-Drive page, click on the according icon on the left navigation panel as shown below:
The menu consists of two main modules: an analysis of objects on the left and a score inspector on the right side of the page.
Analysis by driver/vehicle
This section displays a list of objects with their Eco-drive score and general information about them. The tabs at the top allow you to select between 2 possible categories:
- Fleet – a list of vehicles in the fleet
- Drivers – a list of individual drivers
Both lists are identical and function in the same way. They consist of columns that can be sorted in ascending/descending order by clicking on their name. An arrow icon will be displayed next to the column name to indicate the direction in which the column is sorted.
The Object/Driver column can also be filtered by clicking on the icon next to it. Tick the checkbox next to the objects you want to display and apply the filter by clicking the ✓ icon below.
A time period for which the information is displayed can be selected at the top-right corner. Click on the box to open a calendar and select a starting date and an ending date. The current day is highlighted by a small blue triangle on the top left side of that day.
Columns can be configured by clicking on the three-dot icon on the top-right side of the list. This will bring up a column settings window where you can choose parameters to be displayed and change the order they appear in. Select columns by clicking them in the list on the left. Once an element is added, it will appear on the list on the right. Here they can be re-ordered by dragging up or down and deleted by clicking the X icon. Up to 8 columns can be added. To apply changes, click Confirm.

Score inspector
By clicking on an object in the list, a score inspector window will appear on the right side of the screen. Here you can see the overall score for the following categories:
- Total score – the sum of all of the scores listed below
- Speed score – the score based on Overspeeding time, Overspeeding distance, and Overspeeding fuel consumption parameters
- Engine score – the score based on RPM in red band time, RPM in red band distance, Free rolling distance, Engine overloaded fuel consumption, Engine overloaded distance, Highest gear fuel consumption, and Highest gear distance parameters
- Braking score – the score based on Extreme braking rate, Harsh braking rate, Braking/stops rate, Engine braking distance, Braking distance, and Retarder duration parameters
- Idling score – the score based on Excess idling and Fuel used while idling parameters
- Cruise control score – the score based on Cruise control time, Cruise control distance, and Cruise control fuel consumption parameters
- Acceleration score – the score based on the Harsh acceleration rate parameter
Each score is calculated based on the parameters that are assigned to it. The score is presented in a number from 0 to 100. The higher the number, the better the score is. The colors of the circles indicate whether the score is in a good (green), average (yellow), or bad (red) range. If there is not enough data to calculate the score (score is at 0), it will be displayed in a gray color circle. Scores that are not counted in the total score are displayed in black. If the parameter is not received from the device it will be displayed as “-“.
The values and logic of how the scores are calculated and their color indication can be configured manually by clicking on the icon in the top-right corner of the Eco-Drive page. This will open a new Configure scores window.
Configure scores
In this window, it is possible to configure how various scores are calculated. Each score has its own parameters and thresholds that are used in the calculation logic.
Note
Changes made are saved automatically.
Total score
The slider bar can be set to display a value in a certain color if it is in its range. Here, the values below x will be displayed in red and the values above y will be displayed in green. Values between x and y will be displayed as yellow. These can be changed by dragging the x and y sliders or typing the values manually in the input bars on the right.
The total score is calculated as the sum of all other scores. How much an individual score impacts the total score can be changed by setting a different coefficient value (%). Parameters that provide no data should always be set at 0%.
Note
The sum of all coefficients must be 100%.
Other scores
Each score tab consists of the following:
- Color slider (1) – the slider bar at the top of each score tab can be configured to set the value range for color representation (see above)
- Parameter names and coefficients (2) – the list of parameter names that are used in the calculation of the score. The input bar next to each parameter indicates the coefficient of how much weight the parameter has in the final score calculation.
- Parameter threshold value slider (3) – clicking the arrow next to the coefficient input will display the slider for that parameter. Here you can set the x and y threshold values. If the parameter value is in the positive (green) area, it will be added as 100 to the final score calculation. If it is in the negative (red) area it will have a value of 0. Any score in the yellow range will return a percentage between the green and red thresholds.
For example, if the Overspeeding time (%) parameter has the x threshold set to 10 and the y threshold is set to 50 and the parameter value is 5, it is lower than the x threshold (green area), therefore the Overspeeding time used in the Speed score calculation will be 100. Multiplied by the set coefficient (ex.: 50%), then 100 * 0.5 = 50.
The final value of each score is displayed in the Score inspector.
Note
The sum of all coefficients must be 100%.
Note
Not all sliders are the same in their color order. Some parameters may have a lower value displayed in a positive green color, while the higher value is a negative red. This is common for parameters where having a lower value is better.
