A new addition to fleet tracking and navigation software has been launched, which it is claimed can make estimated time of arrival forecasts up to 50% more accurate.

Journey Dynamics’ MyDrive software learns the way each individual drives, thus improving the accuracy of the estimated journey time.

“MyDrive learns how you drive and by taking into account your driving behaviour on each road type, dramatically improves estimates of journey times,” said John Holland, CEO at Journey Dynamics.

The system learns a driver’s style behind the wheel – including speeding - and then uses this data overtime to provide more accurate ETA forecasts.

“If a driver speeds a lot then the system will build this into its forecast,” confirmed Holland. “But it doesn’t tell the driver to speed, it just uses his typical driving style on a road.”

However, the system can be pre-programmed to forecast ETAs without the need for speeding.
