Mission: safer roads

Mobile sensing + data analytics + behavioral economics

Can we make roads safer by making drivers better?


Black Box & OBD-II

•  Good accuracy, but high cost

•  Not scalable (cost, failures)

•  Needs a way to engage users

Smartphone

•  Easy to deploy

•  Potentially engaging

•  Challenges with data accuracy

•  Battery drain

OEM embedded

•  Prohibitively expensive

•  Complicated 3-way business relationships

•  Needs a way to engage users

Smartphone growth


Feature phone and smartphone shipments worldwide from 2008 to 2020 (in 1,000 units)

Source: Statistics, 2014


Users spend 2.7 hours per day on their phones 85% of that time is with apps!

…but it’s really about behavior



How can we use smartphones?

To change behavior and provide insights into driving quality?

•  Accurate data •  Engaging interactions •  Battery-efficiency

Summary

Unsafe driving a global problem

•  50M injuries & 1.24M deaths •  Leading cause of death for young

Mobile sensing meets big data

•  Trajectory, accel, distraction, drive detection & mode, collision

Behavior change

•  Data ! inferences ! user feedback •  Smartphones can make driving safer!
