Case Studies
Real-World Impact: Proven Results from Mining Operations
While Driver Bureau’s solutions apply across multiple industries, the following studies were conducted within a large mining operation, showcasing the measurable impact of Elevate AI, Elevate+, and VPJ on driver and operator performance.
​
✔ Up to 55% reduction in high-risk driving incidents.
✔ 28% improvement in risk awareness & decision-making.
✔ Estimated 9.24% reduction in total crashes.
Case Study 1: 14% Reduction in High-Risk Driving Behavior
Challenge:
A mining operator struggled with high rates of harsh braking and acceleration, leading to excessive fuel use, increased maintenance costs, and preventable safety risks.
​
Key Problems Identified:
-
Operators were unaware of their risk behaviours.
-
Standard safety programs were reactive, not preventative.
-
Telematics detected risky events but did not provide personalised interventions.
​
Solution:
The company deployed Elevate AI, a psychomotor risk assessment tool, to identify high-risk operators and provide targeted feedback.
​
Results After Implementation:
✔ 14% reduction in harsh braking & acceleration.
✔ Better driver self-awareness and accountability.
✔ Improved vehicle handling, reducing machine wear and fuel costs.
Case Study 2: 28% Improvement in Risk Awareness & Decision-Making
Challenge:
Despite improving their telematics scores, operators were still making high-risk decisions, leading to near-miss events and unnecessary safety risks.
​
Key Problems Identified:
-
Operators’ reaction times and risk perception were not actively measured.
-
Traditional safety training failed to improve cognitive decision-making.
-
The company needed a way to predict and prevent unsafe behaviors.
​
Solution:
The mining operator expanded its program to Elevate+, which combined assessment with personalized cognitive training to improve situational awareness.
​
Results After Implementation:
✔ 28% improvement in risk perception and reaction times.
✔ Fewer near-miss incidents reported.
✔ Operators demonstrated more proactive safety habits.
✔ Enhanced company-wide safety culture.
Case Study 3: 55% Reduction in High-Risk Driving Incidents
Challenge:
Operators working in high-risk, fatigue-prone environments were showing signs of slowed reaction times, leading to accidents, increased equipment downtime, and costly damage.
​
Key Problems Identified:
-
Fatigue and skill deterioration increased accident probability.
-
Operators were not receiving ongoing cognitive performance training.
-
Accidents were reactive events instead of preventable ones.
​
Solution:
The company introduced VPJ (Visual Performance Journey), a region-specific training and assessment tool designed to improve reaction time and real-time decision-making.
​
Results After Implementation:
✔ 55% reduction in high-risk incidents involving fuel tankers.
✔ Reduced downtime from machine accidents and operator errors.
✔ More efficient vehicle operation, lowering fuel consumption.
✔ Improved psychomotor performance across the workforce.
Case Study 3: 55% Reduction in High-Risk Driving Incidents
Fuel Efficiency Gains
✔ 27% Estimated Reduction in fuel consumption based on industry standard metrics.
​
Crash Reduction
✔ Estimated 9.24% reduction in total crashes.
​
Loss Ratio Improvement
✔ Estimated 3.7% improvement in loss ratio, focused on the bottom 30% of operators contributing to 80% of claims.
​
Machine Uptime & Cost Savings
✔ Lower accident-related downtime for fleets & heavy machinery operators.
✔ Extended vehicle and equipment lifespan.
