Drivewell Product Summary

Pursuant to the online article “http://news.mit.edu/2016/startup-smartphone-app-safe-driving-0105” (2016), Drivewell, a telematics analytics mobile app developed by Cambridge Mobile Telematics (CMT), aims to inculcate safe driving behaviors on the road. Utilising the commonplace mobile platform, this app records actions performed by drivers on the move, such as steering, phone usage, braking, as well as illegal speeding. With sensor technology installed in phones, GPS, motion, vibration sensory feedback can be garnered and processed by algorithms, producing essential performance data that can be converted into incentives for safe driving habits.


Through constant enhancement and evaluation across pilot programs, this app has managed to clinch its client base over eight countries. This app has successfully peaked safety driving records up to 30 percent across a nationwide contest. Raising awareness of accidents caused by poor driving behavior and prohibited mobile phone usage on the wheel, this product seeks to target specific areas personalized to each individual driver in order to remedy negligent conduct on the roads.

The sparse potential of info-communications technology (ICT) in transport could range from analysing user trends to designing automotive systems. Moreover, bridging into both domains of engineering and ICT spawns multiple career paths to tread upon for professional development. I selected this course of study primarily motivated by the interest to venture into engineering and explore more pragmatic aspects ...

Product Summary Report of DriveWell App (Revised with changes)

According to Matheson (2016), a driving analytics mobile app named Drivewell, which was developed by Cambridge Mobile Telematics (CMT), promotes safe driving habits on the road. This app is designed to identify, record, and analyse behavioral patterns of drivers, which includes cornering, hard braking, and phone utilization during driving. DriveWell is a product imbued with continual refinement efforts to satisfy the needs of users. Using sensor technology installed in phones, location data, route synchronisation, and driving performance feedback can be garnered. These raw data are thereafter processed by algorithms expertly developed to map out the standards of data to match safety requirements. Finally, the results are converted to incentives through the scoreboard ranking. Using Drivewell, insurance companies can incentiv...
