Lytx 2020 «State of the Data» Report Identifies Key Areas of Risk for Trucking Fleets

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Lytx®, a leading provider of machine vision- and artificial intelligence-powered video telematics, analytics, safety, and productivity solutions for commercial, public sector, and field service fleets, has released its third annual «State of the Data» report focused on trucking fleets.

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Lytx®, a leading provider of machine vision- and artificial intelligence-powered video telematics, analytics, safety, and productivity solutions for commercial, public sector, and field service fleets, has released its third annual «State of the Data» report focused on trucking fleets. With data captured from fleets of all sizes and types within the trucking industry, Lytx’s 2020 report reveals the riskiest states, cities and roadways in the United States along with the riskiest days and times and trends in risky driving behaviors. 

«2020 was an unforgettable year with unprecedented challenges for the trucking industry. With the continued demands facing fleets and drivers, it has never been more important for us to identify and share key areas of risk and opportunities to help improve their safety,» said Dave Riordan, executive vice president, Lytx enterprise business. «We use our dataset – the largest and most accurate of its kind – to identify and address top areas of driving risk, and to provide trucking fleets with insights they can put into action quickly to improve their safety.»

Identifying Riskiest Areas Across the Country

Lytx captured over 10 million risky driving incidents among trucking fleets in 2020. From all those incidents, Lytx examined single-square-mile road segments using its proprietary risk scoring system and found the following areas in the U.S. had the highest concentration of risk:

  1. Allentown, Pa.: Interstate 78, East of W. Emaus Avenue
  2. Lambsburg, Va.: Interstate 77, near Old Pipers Gap Road
  3. Albuquerque, N.M.: Interstate 40, near Coyote Springs Road SE
  4. Durham, N.C.: Interstate 85, near University Station Road
  5. Lebanon, N.J.: Interstate 78, near Cokesbury Road

As in past years, most of the identified riskiest road segments are near interchanges, construction zones, or on/off ramps, which increase driving risk. According to Lytx’s risk score system, these five road segments, on average, are 152 times riskier than the average road segment in Lytx’s trucking-industry database.

«We know sudden lane changes and shifts in driving speed surrounding interchanges can create a more volatile driving environment and more opportunity for dangerous incidents,» said Del Lisk, Lytx’s vice president of safety services. «We urge fleets and drivers to be aware of the increased risk in these areas and level-up their caution and defensive driving in these situations, whether you are passing through one of the segments featured here or any other highway interchange.»

Areas of Pennsylvania, and Allentown in particular, have been featured on this list in past years, with the top two riskiest roads in 2019 and top three riskiest roads in 2018.

That said, Pennsylvania improved in the overall state rankings in 2020. The riskiest states for trucking fleets in in 2020 were:

  1. California
  2. Washington
  3. Texas
  4. Oregon
  5. Georgia

These states overall were three times riskier than the 45 other states in Lytx’s nationwide footprint.

Lytx also examined its data in 60-by-60-square-mile areas and, for the second year in a row, identified Chicago as the riskiest U.S. city for trucking. Compared to the next riskiest city, Dallas, Chicago was 23% more risky, likely related to its role as a major transportation hub for routes in all directions.

«With a wealth of driving data paired with unmatched analytic capabilities, Lytx is able to determine driving risk and drill that down into specific cities or even intersections,» said Lisk. «While we know trucking routes may not always be flexible, we encourage managers and coaches to consider these areas of concentrated risk in supporting their drivers to approach every situation with a proactive, safety-oriented mindset.»

Riskiest Days and Times for Truck Drivers

Lytx found slight shifts in the days of the week and times with the highest prevalence of collisions and near-collisions. From 2018 to 2020, Lytx identified the following:

2020

2019

2018

Day of week with most collisions

Tuesday

Thursday

Wednesday

Day of week with fewest collisions

Sunday

Monday

Monday

Time of day with most near collisions

Morning (5:00 a.m.- noon)

Morning (5:00 a.m. – noon)

Afternoon (noon – 5:00 p.m.)

«With 24/7 demand for deliveries necessitated by the pandemic, we’ve observed a shift in the days of the week with the most and least collisions,» said Lisk. «Compared to past years, fleets may have more routes and deliveries early in the week, rather than starting the week slowly. This could be a factor in Sunday having the fewest collisions and Tuesday having the most collisions.»

Trends in Risky Behavior

Even with increased demand in 2020, Lytx trucking clients showed strong improvements in several key, high-risk behaviors, including:

Behavior (in order of most improved)

Improvements from 2019

Late response

-77%

Following distance: ≥ 2 sec to < 3 sec

-51%

Red light

-38%

Unsafe lane change

-38%

Drowsy driving

-29%

Compared to other fleet types, trucking showed strengths in several areas, including: 

Behavior

Comparative Frequency*

Loose object in cab

68% less often

Distraction related to electronic device

59% less often

Positive recognition, which occurs when the driver had a close call that wasn’t a result of their own actions and prevented potentially significant consequences by exercising safe driving practices and/or when the driver demonstrated courteous driving

33% more often

*As compared to Lytx’s other client segments: waste, distribution, transit, government, construction, concrete, utilities and field services.

«Trucking professionals are clearly working hard to proactively approach safety to protect themselves and the communities they serve,» said Lisk. «For drivers spending long hours on the road and driving longer distances than other transportation-adjacent industries, this is a remarkable feat.»

Lytx’s data also found these risky behaviors increasing among truck fleets:

Behavior (in order of frequency)

Change from 2019

Posted speed violation

Increasing

Incomplete stop at stop sign

Increasing

Failed to stop at stop sign

Increasing

«We share this information as an opportunity to shed light on the areas where drivers, managers and coaches should pay special attention in order to approach safe driving proactively,» said Riordan. «From recognizing when and where truck drivers may face more risky behaviors or higher collision rates to understanding exactly which behaviors are proving challenging for the industry, we hope these unique insights from Lytx can help the trucking industry stay informed as drivers head out on the roads this year. We maintain our commitment to helping fleets raise the bar for safety as we continue to innovate our machine vision and artificial intelligence capabilities to uncover even further insights about driving risk in the trucking industry.»

About the Data
These insights were derived from Lytx’s proprietary database of trucking driving data from 2019 and 2020, including more than 10 million risky truck driving events captured last year. For comparisons across industries, Lytx calculated behavior averages from its global database, which contains driving data from utilities, distribution, concrete, construction, services, transit, government and waste industries. Lytx maintains the fastest-growing proprietary database of professional driving data in the world, currently surpassing 120 billion miles of driving data. The data is anonymized, normalized and in instances of behavior prevalence, is generalizable to trucking fleets at large.

About Lytx
Lytx is a leading provider of machine vision and artificial intelligence-powered video telematics, analytics, safety, and productivity solutions for commercial, public sector, and field service fleets. Our solutions harness the power of video to empower drivers and fleets to be safer and more efficient, productive and profitable so they can thrive in today’s competitive environment.

TrueCar Forecasts 16.0 Million New Vehicle Sales for 2021

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — TrueCar, Inc. projects 16 million new light vehicle sales for 2021, an increase of 10% from the previous year. Retail sales are expected to reach 13.9 million, an increase of 9.6% from 2020.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — TrueCar, Inc. projects 16 million new light vehicle sales for 2021, an increase of 10% from the previous year. Retail sales are expected to reach 13.9 million, an increase of 9.6% from 2020.

«The year 2020 was a challenging one for the automotive industry and the economy at large, but the recovery came faster than most expected, providing strong momentum and pent-up demand going into 2021,» said Nick Woolard, Lead Industry Analyst at TrueCar. «Retail demand is healthy and will remain the driving force for total vehicle sales in 2021. Fleet sales will also increase, but at a much slower pace, due to the uncertainty surrounding travel.»

Q4 2020 saw record-breaking average transaction prices for new vehicles, as incentives eased and consumers opted for more expensive SUVs and trucks. The trend towards more expensive vehicles continues in 2021. Average transaction prices are projected to increase 3.1% year over year to $37,925. In previous years, the average transaction increased roughly 4% year over year.

«As the K-shaped recovery takes shape in 2021, we expect higher-income households, who have not been financially impacted by the pandemic, to continue making new vehicle purchases,» added Woolard. «Continued trends towards large trucks, SUVs, and a growing array of electric vehicles as well as additional safety and technology content will lead to even higher average transaction prices in 2021.» 

Average interest rates for new vehicles in 2020 were 4.74%, and interest rates for used vehicles were 8.47%.  TrueCar forecasts that interest rates for 2021 will remain similar to those we saw in Q4 2020.

«Car shoppers in 2021 can expect interest rates for new and used vehicles to remain at the low levels we saw towards the latter part of 2020 with support from the Federal Reserve,» said Alain Nana-Sinkam, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at TrueCar. «The Fed is signaling continued support into 2021 as the U.S. economy recovers from the pandemic. The low interest rates are likely to stay at least through the end of the year.»
