In my earlier post, I
mentioned that I work as a solution architect for a vehicle data platform. In
this post, I will discuss how we use trip data information to score driver behavior,
using what we call a "smart driver" score. Like a credit score, a
driver score is an indicator of a driver's behavior, which can be used for
things like usage-based insurance.
The term "smart
driver" typically refers to an individual who can optimize their driving
behavior to improve safety, fuel efficiency, and comfort. A smart driver might
use advanced technologies, such as real-time traffic information or
driver-assist features, to make informed decisions about how to operate their
vehicle. They might also adjust their driving habits, such as reducing speed,
avoiding sudden acceleration and braking, and following a consistent pace, to
minimize fuel consumption and emissions.
Smart driver programs and
initiatives are often designed to educate drivers about the benefits of safe and
efficient driving, and to provide tools and resources to help drivers make
informed decisions on the road. Some programs may also offer incentives, such
as rewards or discounts, to encourage drivers to adopt safe and efficient
driving practices.
In the context of
connected and autonomous vehicles, the term "smart driver" may also
refer to the vehicle's advanced systems and technologies, which are designed to
optimize driving performance and provide a more comfortable and efficient
driving experience.
The term "smart
driver" is used by a variety of organizations and companies, including
automotive manufacturers, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and
technology companies.
Automotive manufacturers, such as
Tesla and General Motors, may use the term to describe the advanced
driver-assist technologies and safety features that they offer in their
vehicles.
Government agencies, such as the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), may use the term to describe their initiatives to
promote safe and efficient driving practices.
Non-profit organizations, such as
the National Safety Council, may use the term to describe their educational
programs that aim to promote safe and responsible driving practices.
Technology companies, such as
telematics providers and software developers, may use the term to describe
their products and services that aim to improve driving performance and provide
a more efficient and connected driving experience.
Overall, the term "smart
driver" is used to describe individuals and organizations that are focused
on optimizing the driving experience, and promoting safe, efficient, and
sustainable driving practices.
Core trip concepts, data collection,
scoring methodology
When owner is driving vehicle from point A to point B, Ignation ON/OFF cycle, smart driver system will rate your trip based on various factors such as the duration of the trip, the condition of the road, the traffic, and your driving experience. Here are some examples of factors you might consider when rating a trip:
Drive Time: How long did it take
you to complete the trip? Was it faster or slower than expected?
Driving experience: Did you enjoy driving the vehicle? Was it easy to handle, or were there any challenges with maneuvering or controlling the vehicle?
Comfort: Was the trip
comfortable? Did you experience any issues with the vehicle, such as discomfort
from the seats, or noise from the engine or road?
Road condition: Was the
road in good condition? Were there any obstacles, such as potholes or
construction, that impacted your trip?
Traffic: Was there a lot of traffic on the road? Did you experience any delays or slowdowns due to congestion?
