Driver Feedback (DRF)
Up to 14% fuel saving through real-time driver feedback
The Driver Feedback Parameter Group transforms vehicle information into simple, easy-to-understand feedback for the driver.
Intelligent Driver Feedback for Safer and More Efficient Driving
Instead of presenting complex vehicle parameters, the Squarell IVMS continuously evaluates driving behavior using intelligent algorithms and generates a compact set of feedback indicators that encourage more economical, safer and more anticipative driving.
The Driver Feedback Application can be visualized in different ways
- A Physical Driver Awareness Panel (DAP) can be placed on the dashboard
- An Application can be written by the TSP on the tablet of the driver.

Buzzer
To get the drivers attention, a flashing LED is occasionally accompanied by a sound signal.
How is the feedback presented?
The Driver Feedback Parameter Group can be used in two different ways.
Squarell Driver Awareness Panel (DAP)
The Driver Awareness Panel (DAP) is a compact dashboard display with six multi-color LEDs and an integrated buzzer.
Connected to the Squarell SFD port, it provides immediate visual and audible feedback without distracting the driver. The simple interface keeps the driver’s subconscious attention focused on efficient driving behavior.
Field experience has shown fuel savings of up to 14%.
Tablet or Mobile Application
The same Driver Feedback Parameter Group can also be transmitted via Bluetooth or other communication interfaces.
Telematics Service Providers can integrate the feedback into their own tablet or smartphone applications, using their own graphical design while benefiting from the proven Squarell feedback algorithms.
This allows the same Driver Feedback information to be presented either on the dedicated DAP hardware or as part of an existing driver application.
Business Value
The Driver Feedback Parameter Group closes the loop between vehicle data and driver behavior.
Instead of analyzing trips afterwards, drivers receive immediate feedback while driving, allowing inefficient driving habits to be corrected instantly.
The result is lower fuel consumption, reduced vehicle wear, improved safety and more consistent driving behavior across the entire fleet.
Why Squarell?
Most telematics systems analyze driver behavior after the journey has ended.
Squarell brings driver coaching into the vehicle.
Using intelligent onboard algorithms, the IVMS continuously evaluates driving behavior and generates real-time feedback that can be presented on the dedicated Driver Awareness Panel or integrated into third-party driver applications.
This makes Driver Feedback an active driver coaching system rather than a passive reporting tool.
