Safety Events Severity

Last updated 26 days ago

Overview

Every AI event is tagged with a severity level — how serious and how urgent it is. Severity helps you triage your AI Alerts queue at a glance and focus review time where the risk is highest. It appears on each alert as a coloured word beneath the event type.

Severity is separate from behaviour weight. Severity tells you how serious an event is; weight (which you set in the Score Configurator) controls how many points an event takes off the score. You can weight a low-severity behaviour heavily if it matters to your fleet, and the severity label won't change.

The Severity Levels

Level

What it means

Critical

The most serious events — a confirmed crash or a drowsy driver. Review immediately.

High

Significant risk that needs prompt attention, such as forward collision warnings, mobile phone use, no seat belt, or severe speeding.

Medium

Moderate risk worth reviewing regularly to spot patterns and coaching opportunities.

Low

Lower-risk events, still useful for proactive coaching and long-term trend analysis.

How Severity is Set

In Route One Go, severity is a fixed property of the event type — not something calculated per event and not something you can edit. Every event type always carries the same severity, so a given event type is always Critical, always High, and so on.

Speeding is the one exception to note. Speed doesn't change a severity — it decides which speeding event is recorded. Each resulting event type then carries its own fixed severity:

Severity

Amount over posted limit

Event recorded

Low

0–5 mph over

Light speeding

Medium

6–10 mph over

Medium speeding

High

11+ mph over

Severe speeding
