CSA Compliance

How do your drivers measure up to CSA?

CSA is an FMCSA initiative to ‘improve large truck and bus safety and ultimately reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities related to commercial motor vehicles’. Within the Safety Measurement System (SMS), CSA scores are calculated using data from roadside inspections, including all safety-based violations, state-reported crashes, and the Federal motor carrier census to quantify performance in the Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs):

The seven BASIC behaviors that can lead to crashes include:

Carriers receive points for infractions including speeding, reckless driving, improper lane changes and inattention. Point values are determined based on the severity of the violation. Points are calculated monthly and then placed into percentiles from 0 (best) to 100 (worst), by comparing the BASIC measurements to similar carriers. Carries exceeding the threshold of 60 points will face fines and a possible intervention from the FMCSA.

An increase in FMCSA inspections and CSA regulations are driving companies to ensure they are preparing to be compliant. Companies with a certain level of hours-of-service violations are already being required to have electronic logs to ensure compliance and many other companies are taking preventive measures now to avoid being cited for violations.

inthinc Can Lower and Your Improve Your Scores!

inthinc enterprise customers average in the top fourth percentile of the Driver Safety category of the CSA initiative. Data, made available to the public by the FMCSA, shows that carriers with large fleets using inthinc technology combined for an average 3.4 rating in driver safety, 30.2 in fatigued driving and 24.4 in vehicle maintenance, all well ahead of the national 50 percent average.

Here is how:

Unsafe Driving

Our real-time, in-cab driver mentoring system, warns drivers when they are speeding, driving aggressively or not wearing their seatbelt, leading to less traffic tickets.
Unsafe driving? It’s a thing of the past.

Fatigued Driving

Our electronic on-board recorder (EOBR) maintains accurate HOS logs, which automatically track driving time and other operational information, simplifying the record keeping for drivers and allowing organizations to be more efficient in fleet management.
Fatigued driving? It’s history.

Vehicle Maintenance

Our solutions include a crash data recorder that reveals vehicle performance—including vehicle speed—before and after a crash. Organizations can see the events and variables leading up to an accident to aid in crash reconstruction as well as determine exact time and location of the incident.
Crash Indicator? Covered.

At our core, our solutions are dedicated to improving driver behavior and have been proven over hundreds of millions of miles.

inthinc solutions help companies meet CSA compliance regulations in a dramatic way because focusing on driver behavior brings major results.
