Coal Transporter Risk Profiling — 9-Parameter Trip Scoring India

Score every coal truck trip before it arrives. 9-parameter risk model covers activity sensing, route deviation, red-zone halts, and driver behaviour. Used by Indian coal plants.

Most Indian coal plants manage transporter risk through intuition and incident reports. By then, the loss has already happened.

Transporter risk profiling replaces intuition with data — scoring every trip across 9 parameters before the vehicle arrives.

The 9-Parameter Risk Model

Risk ParameterWeight
Activity sensing — unauthorized unload detected100%
Blacklisted truck or driver100%
Red-zone halt90%
Market / non-dedicated vehicle85%
Route deviation80%
Phone switched off70%
High halt duration50%
Delay45%
High number of halts40%
The composite score is issued to the plant before the vehicle arrives.

From Trip Scoring to Transporter Ranking

Trip scores aggregate into transporter performance metrics:

  • Average risk score per transporter (rolling 30/90-day)
  • Pilferage incident rate — trips where activity sensing flagged unauthorised unloading
  • Red zone halt frequency
  • On-time delivery rate
  • Phone-off incidents per transporter fleet
  • This creates a data-driven vendor scorecard for contract negotiations, volume allocation, and blacklisting decisions.

    Special Sampling: Focused on Actual Risk

    Before risk profiling: all delayed trucks sent for special sampling — wasting resources on innocent delays.

    With risk scoring: delayed trucks in safe congestion zones are de-prioritised. On-time trucks with high activity sensing scores are flagged. Risk resources focus on actual risk.

    Blacklist Management

    Blacklisted entries trigger 100% risk automatically. Enhanced monitoring flags vehicles for analyst review on every trip. Both can be managed at plant level or shared across the Intugine customer network.

    Feedback Loop

    When a high-risk truck is sampled and a deviation is confirmed, this feeds back into the model — improving parameter weighting for the specific supply corridor. Within 6 months, the model is calibrated to the plant's actual risk patterns.
