Fleet safety data can show you where risk exists. Smith5Keys® Driver Risk Management helps you understand the behaviors behind it and what needs to change.
Join Smith System CEO Derek Dunaway to see how one connected approach brings training, monitoring, analytics, scoring, compliance, and coaching together to help fleets build safer driving behaviors.

See the Smith5Keys® approach to managing driver risk in action.
Data identifies the risk. The 5Keys connect it to behavior.
Fleets have more safety technology and driver data than ever before. Telematics, in-cab cameras, and driver scorecards can identify risky driving, but identification alone does not change behavior.
Smith System Driver Risk Management supplies the missing connection. Built around the Smith5Keys®, the program connects the risk signals fleets already capture to the specific driving behaviors managers need to address.
What You'll Learn
A program for fleet safety. Not a product.
Ask ten fleet managers what driver risk management means, and most will describe something they buy. A telematics platform. A camera system. A scorecard. That is exactly where most fleet safety programs fail. Real Driver Risk Management is an organizational commitment that the safety of every driver is a core business value - pursued every day, in every vehicle, by every driver.
5Keys® Training
Behind-the-wheel instruction that turns 5Keys knowledge into on-road habit.
Backed by data and guided by over 70 years of expertise, our programs help drivers in any vehicle, anywhere, reduce risks and stay in control. We are the only Driver Risk Management company that brings you leading edge behavior-modifying methods built on a foundation of the best in-person driver safety training in our industry: The Smith 5Keys.
Driver Compliance
Continuous MVR monitoring, mapped to the same behavioral language as everything else.
MVRs pulled on cadence, license status verified, attestations tracked — all on the same 5Keys pathway as a telematics event. A speeding citation is a Leave Yourself an Out signal. Compliance data is behavioral data.
Monitoring
Data-agnostic by design. Any telematics or camera source feeds the program.
Bring Your Data. You already capture driving data. Smith System turns it into 5 Keys insight — and closes the loop you’ve been missing. We read your existing telematics and camera data through the 5 Keys, produce a 5Keys Score for every driver, and auto-assign Skills Builder micro-lessons on the exact behaviors that need work.
Analytics
Risk concentration, intervention effectiveness, and benchmarking at fleet, division, and portfolio level.
Analytics turns the 5Keys Score from a per-driver view into a program view. Which Keys are the most common gaps? Where is risk concentrating - by site, by route, by tenure cohort? Are interventions working?
Most fleets spread coaching resources evenly when data shows risk is concentrated in a fraction of drivers. Analytics points coaching at where it changes outcomes.
5Keys® Score
A behaviorally-anchored composite score. Every signal maps to the specific 5Key the driver missed.
The 5Keys Driver Scorecard is the behavioral intelligence engine. Every signal — telematics, MVR, BTW, Skills Builder — maps to one of the five Keys. The score tells you not just that the driver is risky, but which behavioral decision is missing.
A hard-braking event most commonly indicates Get the Big Picture. The Score names that gap. It routes the driver to coaching content addressing that specific Key.
Coaching & Reinforcement
Coaching that speaks the same 5Keys language as training. Reinforcement that makes safety identity.
In most fleets, supervisors review event lists and improvise. Different supervisors coach the same event in three different ways. Drivers receive contradictory messages.
In a 5Keys DRM program, the Score names which Key the driver is missing. Skills Builder auto-assigns the matching microlesson. Recognition through Engage makes safe driving part of professional identity.
What You'll Learn
See how Driver Risk Management connects the systems and people already involved in fleet safety to create a continuous cycle of identification, intervention, and improvement.
During this webinar, we'll introduce the Smith System Driver Risk Management program and explore how its connected approach brings together:
Risk signals from virtually any source, including telematics events, speeding violations, and behind-the-wheel observations, identify where attention is needed.
Benchmarked analytics measure whether interventions changed behavior and help fleets determine where to focus next.
One Common Language for Driver Safety
The Smith5Keys® connect every part of the program.
Instead of treating training, monitoring, coaching, and analytics as disconnected safety tactics, Driver Risk Management organizes them around one proven behavioral framework.
Every part of the program speaks the same Smith5Keys® language, creating a continuous system designed to pinpoint risk, address the behavior behind it, verify corrective actions, and measure whether the intervention worked.
A Continuous, Closed-Loop Approach
The Smith System DRM program goes beyond alerting managers to risky events. Each cycle connects the signal back to a specific behavior, directs coaching toward that behavior, and measures what happens next.
Rather than repeating the same process and hoping it works, fleets can see whether an intervention actually changed behavior and use those results to determine where to focus next.
Proven to Deliver Results
In one enterprise deployment of more than 2,000 drivers across 22 distribution centers, the 5Keys-based program:
Cut preventable crashes 38% over two years
Delivered 2.9x to 9.5x return on investment
Achieved payback in as little as three to eight months
