The SENSE-APP-II project will support the move towards commercialization for an AI-powered driving safety app for mature drivers (65+). The app will deliver timely feedback, longitudinal driving reports, and personalized risk assessments, along with proactive safety recommendations to help mature drivers maintain their independence. Advanced machine learning algorithms will be developed based on a new massive longitudinal telematics dataset provided by the industry partner, the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA). The Project presents the opportunity to advance the understanding of driver risk by incorporating several years of data from 30,000+ drivers across Canada. In the app, both telematics and wellness data will be analyzed by appropriate algorithms. The results will be interpreted and personalized recommendations and status reports will be created on demand for the driver. Regular wellness inputs also keep the driver's safety profile "real time" and holistic in nature. The SENSE-APP will leverage the analysis of individual telematics and wellness data over time for SENSE-APP drivers. This approach constantly adds live streamed telematics and self-reported wellness data to the analysis of the individual driver's risk profile.
