Every driver has a different driving behavior, and assessing these is important in order to create a safe environment for all users on roads. In today’s scenario at-risk driving behavior data can be easily collected, monitored and analyzed through several technologies available in the market. In this paper, a mobile application was used to detect the driving behavior of delivery riders of an organization which includes overspeeding, phone usage, harsh acceleration, harsh braking, and harsh cornering. Each participant’s trip was monitored for one month and data was analyzed. Phone usage, overspeeding are the major at-risk behavior noticed during the shipment delivery routine. Training was conducted on road safety along with the participants and it was observed that there have been changes in the driving behavior of the delivery riders and that the training has helped them in understanding the road safety concerns. Prior to training, members would in general accept mishaps as an absence of care or lack of concern. Fatigue, insufficient rest, distraction due to phone usage and time pressure are some of the factors affecting the driver’s behavior leading to at-risk conditions. Although age group can also play a major role in such conditions. Motivating the delivery riders during the training session has resulted in positive results and has affected the driving behavior, similarly several intrinsic and external motivations like reward systems will help to push the delivery riders toward an improved road safety practice.
