Fleet telematics provider Geotab has announced enhancements to its safety solutions, designed to help fleet managers turn complex data into clear, targeted action that supports safer drivers and more resilient operations.

New capabilities include:

  • Expanded video coaching: Geotab’s video coaching platform, developed for the GO Focus Plus and GO Focus Pro, is being extended to Lytx Surfsight AI12 and AI14 Open in new window and Xirgo KP2 Open in new window cameras through the Geotab marketplace at no additional cost to active subscribers and without hardware changes. Managers can review events in the Geotab platform, use Smart Sequence and Magnitude Ranking to prioritize risk and connect events to the right driver with Smart Driver ID.
  • Safety Overview Page: Set to be introduced as a native part of Geotab’s platform, the Safety Overview Page will bring existing safety insights into one daily-use destination. It provides a 0–100 Safety Metric, peer benchmarking, percentile ranking, high-risk driver prioritization, behavior trends, and plain-language explanations of each metric. By consolidating information from Geotab’s existing safety solutions, the company said that the page helps managers quickly understand fleet safety health and determine where coaching or further investigation is needed.
  • Geotab Investigation: Launched earlier this month, Geotab's new tool helps safety teams review collision-related events alongside relevant driver, vehicle, and behavioral context. The goal is to make it easier to understand contributing factors, identify patterns, and support targeted coaching and follow-up.
  • Red-light violation detection: In addition to detecting illegal U-turns, GO Focus Plus and GO Focus Pro cameras detect red-light violations at signalized intersections, giving safety teams video-backed insights to support coaching.

According to a 2025 Geotab survey, 86% of U.S. fleet professionals believe the risk of driving collisions has increased over the past five years. This means supporting drivers requires more than monitoring their past behavior. It requires timely intelligence that helps identify risk, prioritize coaching, and measure improvement while keeping drivers at the center of every safety program.

"Every journey matters, and behind every data point is a driver whose safety and wellbeing deserve attention,” said Sabina Martin, vice president, product management at Geotab. “Our latest safety capabilities help fleet managers move from reviewing disconnected information to taking focused action. By bringing risk insights, coaching workflows and investigation tools together, Geotab makes it easier for safety teams to understand what is happening across their fleets and support drivers before risk becomes a collision.”
