A feature to remind our driver-partners to get enough rest
Driving is a physically demanding task that many underestimate. While on the road, drivers have to stay focused while navigating traffic and anticipating potential hazards; they also have to understand traffic rules and exercise quick judgement in response to conditions around them.
Long hours on the road can take a toll on a driver’s ability to focus. Studies have shown that
fatigue can impair cognitive function and reaction times, making even the most skilled drivers prone to errors and accidents.
That’s why we began building a smart driver fatigue management model to ensure our driver-partners are getting enough rest. It monitors a driver-partner’s total online hours and whether it’s followed by sufficient continuous offline hours. We trigger reminders when their online hours exceed our recommended threshold.
Driver-partners on four-wheel vehicles will be prompted to take a five-hour uninterrupted break if they’ve been online for over 10 hours while those on two-wheel vehicles will see a nudge to take a six-hour break after being online for 11 hours.
Online hours refer to the time that a driver-partner is logged onto their driver app. During this period, driver-partners could be completing a job, resting or idling while waiting for bookings to be assigned.
The app will display a second action card to remind them of accident risks if they exceed the recommended online hours by three hours (see diagram).
These nudges to take a break will remain on their screens until they’ve gone offline for at least 5 and 6 hours consecutively for four-wheel and two-wheel vehicles respectively.
So basically Grab is sending reminders which can be ignored if the driver persists in driving!
