Speed Data Accuracy with NSLR Integration – Fairer, Smarter Reporting
Speed reporting has always been a challenge for NZ fleets. Traditional systems rely on outdated maps, often leading to inaccurate or unfair speeding reports.
Blackhawk.io now syncs directly with the National Speed Limit Register (NSLR) — the NZTA’s official speed data source. Combined with HERE Maps, this ensures the most accurate, up-to-date speed zone information available.
Key Improvements
- Automated syncing from the NZTA shapefile for real-time accuracy.
- Rule-based validation to resolve discrepancies between NSLR and HERE Maps.
- Spot-checking & audits to maintain integrity.
The result: NZ fleets gain improved speeding reporting.
Driver-Friendly Speeding Event Logic
To make reports fairer, Blackhawk.io updated how speeding events are triggered:
- Between GPS points, the system assumes the lower speed recorded.
- If speed limits change between points, the system assumes the higher limit.
- A speeding event only starts if two consecutive GPS points exceed the limit.
Example: If a vehicle moves from a 100km/h to a 60km/h zone, it won’t be flagged for speeding until it logs two waypoints in the 60km/h zone above 60km/h.
This ensures the benefit of the doubt always goes to the driver.
What This Means for Fleets
- Accurate and fair reports aligned with NZTA data.
- Reduced disputes between drivers and managers.
- Driver-friendly assumptions mean data can be trusted.
- Safer, more productive coaching conversations based on reliable insights.
Why This Matters
For NZ fleet operators, trust in data is everything. By aligning directly with NSLR, Blackhawk.io makes speeding reports fair, accurate, and driver-friendly — empowering managers to focus on improvement, not disputes.
