The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the global governing body for motor sport and the federation for mobility organisations worldwide, has introduced the new FIA Driver Safety Index (DSI). Launched at the FIA Asia Pacific Congress in Thailand, this subscription-based Software as a Service (SaaS) solution empowers public and private organisations to measure and compare driver risk in a universal, reliable and actionable way. 

Every year, around 1.19 million people die on the world’s roads. Tackling this challenge at scale is central to the FIA’s mission. By leveraging its international network, the FIA partners with organisations to drive large-scale, lasting change, delivering safer mobility for all. 

Until now, there has been no universal way to measure driver risk, making it hard for organisations to compare performance or assess safety measures. The FIA DSI solves this by offering a universal scoring system that makes driver risk measurable, comparable, and actionable — regardless of geography, industry, or vehicle type. 

Powered by Greater Than’s AI technology trained on over 20 years of real-world driving data, the FIA DSI analyses GPS data to create an index that reflects the risk of being in a crash. Subscribed organisations can access both a Global Index and their own Index, allowing them to track safety and benchmark against countries, regions and industries. 

This helps identify risks, compare performance, apply best practices to reduces crashes and injuries, and report progress clearly to support ESG goals. 

FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem said, "For the first time, organisations can measure and compare driver risk in a universal language. Along with our other programmes, it gives them the means to act confidently to reduce road crashes, injuries, and fatalities. The FIA Driver Safety Index also supports our Members in building meaningful partnerships and strengthens their ability to demonstrate leadership in road safety, both nationally and globally." 

FIA Secretary General for Automobile Mobility and Sustainability Willem Groenewald added, "Engaging organisations across the public and private sectors is the most effective path to transformative and enduring road safety results. The FIA Driver Safety Index uses data-driven insights and fosters behavioural change through active measurement, empowering organisations to demonstrate accountability. As a SaaS solution, it is easily accessible and designed to evolve, adding new analytics to advance safer and more sustainable mobility for everyone." 

Greater Than Chief Business Officer and Deputy CEO Johanna Forseke said, “The FIA Driver Safety Index is the perfect example of what our AI was made for: to transform road safety. Through our long-standing partnership with the FIA, we are proud to see our technology enabling a global index that complements existing efforts and empowers organisations to take meaningful action worldwide.” 

The FIA DSI complements existing FIA programmes such as the FIA Road Safety Index, which measures organisations’ overall road safety footprint, and the FIA Smart Driving Challenge, promoting safer and more sustainable driving behaviours at the individual driver level. FIA Members all over the world will act as a local engagement network, helping organisations adopt the FIA DSI.
