DSM and ADAS camera program maturity quiz

Eight questions on how you capture, review, coach and measure with in-cab and road cameras. You get a score out of 1,000, your stage, and a 90-day plan of quick wins.

About your fleet

Both fields are optional. They add a short note to your result and the report.

Your program today
1. Which vehicles have cameras that record today?

Count cameras that record and can be played back, not fitted units that are switched off.

2. How do you use driver-monitoring (DSM) and road-facing (ADAS) alerts?

A DSM camera watches the driver. An ADAS camera watches the road ahead.

3. How do you choose clips for coaching?

Think of what happened in the last month, not of the plan.

4. How long before a driver hears about a risky event?

From the moment of the event to the first conversation or message.

5. When does coaching happen after an event?

Coaching means a conversation about the event, not a general safety talk.

6. How do drivers feel about the cameras?

Ask two or three drivers if you are not sure.

7. How do you measure whether the program works?

A number you look at on a fixed day is a measure.

8. How are safety and operations connected?

Operations decides routes, schedules and rest. Safety sees the events.

How the score works
level per answer: 0 (lowest) to 3 (highest) score = sum of levels / (3 x 8) x 1000, rounded stage: up to 250 reactive, 251 to 500 committed, 501 to 750 proactive, above 750 predictive pillar = sum of its two levels / 6 x 100

  • A 90-day plan with four quick wins
  • Method and limits

How is the maturity score calculated?

Each of the eight questions has four answers, from level 0 to level 3. All questions carry the same weight, so each is worth up to 125 of the 1,000 points. Unanswered questions count as level 0.

level per answer: 0 (lowest) to 3 (highest) score = sum of levels / (3 x 8) x 1000, rounded stage: up to 250 reactive, 251 to 500 committed, 501 to 750 proactive, above 750 predictive pillar = sum of its two levels / 6 x 100

The questions sit in four pillars, two questions each. A pillar score shows where the program is strong and where it is thin.

The four pillars
PillarWhat it covers
CaptureCameras that record, and alerts from driver monitoring and road cameras.
ReviewHow clips are chosen and how fast the driver hears about an event.
CoachWhen coaching happens and how drivers feel about the cameras.
MeasureWhether you track results, and whether safety and operations act on them.

What are the four stages?

The stages describe how a video program behaves, from using footage after an incident to using trends before one.

Typical values. The 250, 500 and 750 limits and the equal weights are default values. They are not an official scale.

Worked example

The default answers are levels 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 0 and 1. They are an example, not a benchmark.

  • The levels add up to 10 of a possible 24.
  • Score = 10 / 24 x 1,000 = 416.7, rounded to 417. That is the committed stage.
  • Pillars: capture 50, review 33, coach 67 and measure 17 out of 100.
  • The three priorities are measuring (level 0), then driver alerts and clip selection (level 1, earlier question first).

How do you read the result?

  • The stage is a direction. One level on one question can move you across a boundary, so read the pillars as well.
  • Start with capture. Review, coaching and measuring all depend on footage that exists and records reliably.
  • Speed beats volume. A short clip shown within days teaches more than a long review a month later.
  • Repeat every quarter. Keep the dated reports and compare the pillars.

How do you use the result over 90 days?

Use the plan in your report and follow the same rhythm.

  1. Week 1: agree the starting point

    Share the result with safety, operations and one driver representative.

  2. Days 1 to 30: fix the first priority

    Pick the first priority from your result and name one person to own the action.

  3. Days 31 to 60: build the habit

    Hold the weekly review at a fixed time and record what you decided.

  4. Days 61 to 90: measure and repeat

    Take the quiz again, compare the pillars and set the next three priorities.

Assumptions and limits

The answers are self-reported and not checked. Weights are equal and the stage limits are indicative. The quiz is not an audit, a certification or a rating, and nobody approves your program. It writes its own questions and recommendations. Before you act on alarm counts, tune them with the DSM and ADAS false-positive tuning log.

Related Tracom solution

Give the program the footage and alerts it needs

Tracom designs the M1N MDVR, so the first stage of any video program, capture, starts with the device. Camera options such as DSM/ADAS are confirmed with the Tracom team.

  • Tracom M1N MDVR records the video. Camera options such as DSM/ADAS are confirmed with the Tracom team.
  • Driver behavior monitoring with voice alerts reaches the driver in the cab at the moment of the event.
  • Alerts work without a network. The device makes its own decision, so it does not wait for the network.
  • SCMS portal holds the settings and reports, and devices take firmware updates over the air.

Is this an audit or a certification?

No. It is a self-check on your own answers. Nobody scores your program, no approval is given and the stage is not a rating of your company.

Why 1,000 points and four stages?

Eight questions share the 1,000 points equally, so each is worth 125 at its top answer. The four stages give a simple scale to compare against yourself over time. The limits at 250, 500 and 750 are editable defaults.

Do we need cameras to use the quiz?

No. A fleet without cameras answers "none" and gets a stage and a plan that starts with fitting and checking cameras.

How often should we repeat it?

Every quarter, or after a big change such as a new camera rollout or a new reviewer. Keep the dated reports to see the direction.

Will drivers resist cameras?

It depends on how they are introduced. Tell drivers what is recorded and who sees it, coach rather than punish, and share good clips too. Notices and policies need legal review where you operate.

What does Tracom do, and what does it not do?

Tracom makes the devices that record video and send alerts. Tracom does not run your safety program, certify it or rate it. The quiz and its stages are a self-check you run on your own answers.
