Telematics'explained
Making insurance fun through gamification -provide incentives for behaviour that reduces
loss
Vehicles can create terabytes of data
in one hour
Data velocity – insurance companies have to deal
with the real time consumption of data from millions of connected cars
The first UBI programs began to surface in the U.S. about a decade ago, when Progressive Insurance Company and General Motors Assurance Company (GMAC) began to
offer mileage-linked discounts through combined GPS technology and cellular systems that tracked miles driven. T

subscriber base by 2018

telematics products by 2018
Usage-Based Insurance (UBI) is a recent innovation by auto insurers that aligns driving
behaviors with premium rates for auto insurance.
Mandatory use of telematics in vehicles, enforced by various governments, is expected to increase the penetration of insurance telematics by 2018. Insurers already offer telematics based
value added services bundled with other insurance services to differentiate

Feedback on how to drive
safer
Capture real-time intelligence about an
accident situation through mobile devices and mobile
applications
Automated first notice of loss – notify emergency services, car rental, or
replacement vehicles and fleet
Automated notice of loss – Report incident, begin
claims process and estimate severity
Auto Insurance pricing based on driver behavior
Geo fencing – alerting customers to road
hazards by analyzing data from nearby
vehicles; parental alerts
Embedded vehicles –embedded applications that
improve the driving experience
Enables a service oriented business models and applications that give access to new customers and markets & increase customer loyalty and
retention
Pay as you drive
Locating lost or stolen cars
Roadside assistance or claim
notifications in case of accident
“The genie is out of the bottle. The industry as a whole is not likely to go back to relying only on its traditional methods of assessing auto risks”

What'can'be'done'by'using'vehicle'OBD?
• OBD: On-Board Diagnostics gives access to the status of various vehicle sub-systems• OBD was originally designed to reduce emissions by monitoring performance of
major components• Modern OBD implementations use standardized communication port and a set of
and a set of diagnostic trouble codes that provide real time data

“In 2017, we forecast over 20 million connected cars
globally. That's just a drop in the ocean.” ABI Research
The hybrid phone/embedded solution is a more desirable means of
delivering UBI services
Using the phone for connectivity—perhaps connecting to an in-car screen
for display—is the model that will continue to gain traction.
"Quite possibly, maps on your phone will be more up-to-date than a map stored on an SD card,” John

Smartphone'&'telematics'@ challenges
In vehicle identification without using Electronic Control Unit Interaction. Some luxury cars enable provide connection to OnBoard diagnostics and reporting
systems via Bluetooth – can’t expect this from smartphone users
Activation at driving –smartphone needs to be on active/running phase
Detecting accidents – smartphone needs to be connected to OBD port to detect
acceleration/deceleration, airbag deployment & communicate with emergency systems
Hard to prevent false alarms – eg: same effect as vehicle accident can be perceived as result of phone accidentally being droped
