CenterPoint Energy Proprietary and Confidential Information

Background

• Safety is one of CenterPoint Energy’s core values

• Preventable vehicle collisions are a challenge, including

• Following too close

• Failure to maintain space around the vehicle

• Unsafe lane changes

• Beginning in 2014, CenterPoint Energy has taken

additional actions to improve driving performance,

including:

• Started annual Drive Safety Forward campaign

• Introducing AlertDriving Training in November 2015

• Added Driver suspensions and management follow-up meetings

2


Why is it Important to Act?

• From 2013 to 2015, the number of preventable

vehicle collisions went up.

• We wanted to be proactive and find solutions to

improve our performance behind the wheel.

3

What else could be done to proactively improve

driving behaviors and prevent accidents?


Accepting the Challenge

• We wanted to look at available technology on the market that could help reduce collisions

• We found the market changes all the time with new offerings being introduced almost weekly

• We evaluated drivers’ assistance devices and camera systems including those that involve behavioral monitoring and reporting

• We finally gathered enough information to make an informed decision

• We chose a collision avoidance system called Mobileye

4


Who is MOBILEYE?

• MOBILEYE is an industry leader in collision

avoidance technology

• Their vehicle safety solutions have been adopted

by leading car manufacturers such as GM, Volvo,

BMW, Honda, Toyota and Chrysler.

5


MOBILEYE Technology

• Unique single camera (facing the road ahead) approach to vehicle and object detection.

• Proprietary in-house developed chip allows for low-cost, high-performance, real-time image processing.

• According to MOBILEYE’s research, the collision avoidance system has been proven to reduce road accidents by up to 45%!

6


MOBILEYE System Components

• Windshield-mounted camera and processor

• High visibility display and control unit

• Power supply harness

• EBox is available for additional functions

• Cruise control shut down

• Turn off radio speakers

• Brake lights flashing

• Seat Vibration

7


CEHE MOBILEYE Trial

• We conducted a pilot program with the Mobileye device in March

2015.

• Six MOBILEYE units were installed on Company vehicles.

• First 3 weeks: Driving habits were logged but without in-vehicle alerts.

• Second 3 weeks: the alert function was enabled and drivers were trained

on the notifications they would receive and how to correct the situation

• The table below shows the results from the first week of trial to the last

week of the trial.

8

On average, MOBILEYE resulted in a greater than 60% reduction in number

of alerts per miles driven during the trial period

LDW: Lane departure warning

HMW: Headway monitoring

Warning (following time)

FCW: Forward Collision Warning

PCW: Pedestrian Collision

Warning


Enhancing the Tool for Coaching

Opportunities

• The trial of Mobileye proved very successful

• Over the course of the trial, participating drivers saw a decrease in the number of alerts they received for following too close, speeding, and lane departure without signaling

• However, Mobileye did not come with built-in reporting capability which limited visibility of potentially risky driving behaviors

• Executive management challenged us to find a way to monitor alerts that Mobileye registered

• The purpose is to provide the opportunity to address driver behavior in a proactive manner prior to an accident

9


Mobileye/GPS Insight Collaboration

• We brought two companies together to look into

integrating their systems

• It worked out perfectly!

10


Implementation Plan

• Deploy MOBILEYE technology in vehicle types that have

been involved in the most preventable vehicle collisions

over the last two years

• 396 units were deployed at the end of 2015.

• Single Bucket Trucks and ½ ton pickups are in the initial

phase of this project.

Coach & Trend

• Collected Data is being used:

• To determine the effectiveness of the devices in

changing driver behavior

• To determine trends in driver behavior by department,

service area, vehicle type, etc.

• To coach for individual driver improvement based on

real-time data in a standardized, non-biased format

12

We will be using actual company data to determine triggers for coaching driving behavior


MOBILEYE integrated with GPS Insight

13

Data Capture

• Analyze driver behavior data in real-

time using specialized “dashboards”

customized within GPS Insight

• View customized reports based on

driver alerts

• Easily search data

• Identify employees who need

performance coaching

• Ensure consistency in driver

behavior monitoring and reporting

Safety Improvement

• Easily identify leading indicators of potential

incidents

• Real-time driver alerts to help maintain focus on

proper driving techniques

Accountability

• Improved driver accountability to make

corrections based on real-time

notifications

• Ability to monitor individual driver

improvement after coaching

Technology

• Ability to identify trends in

alerts

• Ability to segregate data by

service area to monitor

performance improvements

• Ability to validate reports of

poor driver behavior based

on GPS capabilities


Vehicle Activity Detail

• The first example report shows 2 new columns added to capture event triggers from the Mobileye device.

Mapped Location of Alerts

• This screenshot shows how if you click the “Location” of the triggered event within the Activity Detail report, it will take you to that event using a map overview.

16


3D Mapping Capability

• Here is how the Mobileye alerts are captured within each of the 2 minute refreshes using the 3D Mapping feature within the GPS website.
