Teletrac Navman Boosts Safety Insights with HERE Location Technology
Teletrac Navman, a Vontier company and a global leader in connected mobility solutions for industries managing vehicle and equipment assets, has announced an extended contract with HERE Technologies, a leading provider of location data and technology. As part of this expanded agreement, HERE Technologies will continue to serve as a Preferred Supplier, providing Teletrac Navman with advanced location services to improve driver safety analytics and empower customers with actionable data.
This partnership strengthens a relationship that spans over 15 years, during which both companies have collaborated to deliver increasingly intelligent fleet management solutions. With the new contract, Teletrac Navman will continue to integrate HERE’s cutting-edge map data and location technologies—including geocoding, route matching, map attributes, speed limit data, and more—into its AI-powered fleet management platform, TN360.
Delivering Actionable Insights Through Advanced Location Intelligence
At the heart of Teletrac Navman’s TN360 platform is a commitment to safety, efficiency, and data-driven decision-making. The integration with HERE Technologies allows TN360 to gather and analyze location-based data to produce accurate, context-rich reports on driver behavior. This includes detecting and recording incidents such as speeding, harsh braking, sharp acceleration, and unsafe turning.
These insights enable fleet operators to gain a deeper understanding of driver performance, identify risky behaviors, and implement targeted training programs to reduce accident risks and improve road safety outcomes. The platform also provides post-trip analytics, intuitive dashboards, and detailed safety reports that benchmark driver behavior and rank individuals based on their performance.
The result is a comprehensive ecosystem where data is not only collected but transformed into meaningful feedback, helping managers enforce safety protocols and build a culture of accountability across their fleets.
Enhanced Safety Data with New HERE Attributes
One of the standout enhancements in this renewed partnership is the inclusion of more frequent and detailed updates from HERE’s location services. This includes essential road attributes such as updated speed limits, low bridge warnings, and traffic signage—all of which are now synchronized into TN360’s safety analytics in near real-time.
This level of detail ensures that any safety event—such as a driver exceeding a speed limit or approaching a height-restricted bridge—is accurately recorded based on the latest road data. It also allows for a more precise analysis of the conditions in which incidents occur, giving fleet operators an edge when it comes to reducing liability and ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
Doug Haebig, Director of Product Management at Teletrac Navman, emphasized the value of this updated data, stating, “Customers trying to promote safety in their fleets need the most accurate information to inform training programs and manage risk. Using post-trip analytics, customers can look retrospectively at behavior and ensure that driver safety programs are informed using the most up-to-date information.”
Empowering Fleet Operators with Intelligent Tools
TN360 analyzes data captured from a variety of telematics devices embedded in fleet vehicles. This includes not only GPS location tracking but also vehicle sensor data such as speed, engine idling, braking force, cornering speed, and acceleration rates. The platform combines this raw data with HERE’s precise location services to create safety profiles for each driver.
Drivers are assigned safety scores based on their overall performance, allowing fleet managers to quickly identify those who may need additional training. High-risk drivers can be flagged for intervention, while top performers can be recognized and incentivized. The result is a proactive approach to fleet safety that is both scalable and customizable for fleets of any size.
Additionally, the system allows fleet operators to measure broader safety KPIs across their entire network, enabling them to track trends over time, assess the effectiveness of safety initiatives, and continually refine their strategies using real-world data.
HERE’s Role in Supporting Safer Roads
HERE Technologies, a global leader in mapping and location-based services, plays a pivotal role in this safety-focused transformation. Their platform, built on decades of experience and global data coverage, supports millions of connected vehicles worldwide and is used by automakers, governments, and technology companies alike.
Stuart Ryan, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Americas at HERE Technologies, commented on the ongoing collaboration, saying, “For more than 15 years, HERE and Teletrac Navman have worked together to provide fleet operators with the tools and information they need to accelerate their operations across first, middle, and last mile. By incorporating HERE Location Services and road attribute data into TN360, operators get greater visibility into their fleet movements and the status of the road ahead, improving driver safety and the safety of everyone on the road.”
The integration of HERE’s road data enables TN360 to dynamically adjust to road conditions, alerting fleet managers and drivers alike to risks that could otherwise go unnoticed. For example, real-time updates to speed limits ensure that speeding alerts are based on the latest regulatory data, minimizing false positives and ensuring fair driver assessment.
Meeting the Evolving Demands of Modern Fleets
As fleet operations grow more complex and regulatory pressures intensify, tools like TN360 and partnerships like the one between Teletrac Navman and HERE become essential. With fleets facing increased scrutiny on safety, sustainability, and operational efficiency, access to high-quality data is no longer optional—it’s a strategic imperative.
By combining HERE’s unmatched mapping infrastructure with TN360’s robust analytics capabilities, Teletrac Navman is equipping fleet operators with the insights they need to drive safer behaviors, reduce incident rates, and maintain compliance with evolving safety standards. This partnership not only improves internal fleet safety programs but also contributes to broader public road safety by promoting responsible driving habits and enabling smarter fleet management.
The extension of the Teletrac Navman and HERE Technologies partnership reflects a shared vision for the future of connected mobility—one where fleets are not only efficient and productive but also safer for drivers, customers, and the communities they serve.
As technology continues to evolve, both companies are committed to advancing the boundaries of what’s possible in fleet telematics. By leveraging AI, cloud computing, and real-time location intelligence, they aim to provide ever more precise, predictive, and preventive solutions to the world’s most pressing fleet safety challenges.
For fleet operators seeking to navigate the complexities of today’s logistics landscape, the expanded capabilities of TN360 powered by HERE Technologies offer a compelling advantage—turning location data into a powerful tool for building safer, smarter, and more efficient transportation networks.
