Driver Risk Management System (DRMS)

Driver Risk Management System (DRMS)

The Driver Risk Management System has been developed in cooperation with the Swedish National Authority (Sweroad) in the Swedish Government to create an effective system that reduces the annual losses to which transport companies are exposed as a result of the risk factors that arise from drivers and vehicles due to traffic accidents and violations

Based on its preparation of Driver Risk Management System, Roadslink Middle East Training and Consulting obtained the Innovation Award from the Insurance Authority – United Arab Emirates.
