Taxi RITM has introduced an AI service for assessing driving quality from Exodrive

2024: Implementation of the Driving Quality Assessment Platform

Exodrive has developed an online platform for assessing driving quality using artificial intelligence. The service served as the basis for a road safety strategy for one of Moscow's Taxi RITMS istaxoparks. Skolkovo reported this on April 15, 2024.

The Skolkovo resident service is a digital driving quality assessment solution based on the artificial intelligence algorithm and Big Data. Artificial intelligence was trained on the basis of data from 32 million driver profiles, 770 thousand digitized accidents and 400 billion km of analyzed roads. The tracker installed on the car's battery collects travel data and transmits it to the platform, where using artificial intelligence the data is analyzed and an indicator of driving quality is formed - a scoring score. The higher the score, the safer the driver's driving style. If the car gets into an accident, the platform will immediately inform the park about the event, create a report describing the incident and determine possible injuries to the driver and passengers for a quick response to the incident.

{{quote 'We analyze over 100 indicators that affect the quality of driving, which allow you to determine the driving style of drivers, the level of safety and comfort of trips. This will help the taxi company maintain high standards of service and improve the experience of passengers, - said Evgeny Chernykh, CEO of Exodrive. }}

The main task of Taxi RITM is to reduce the accident rate and motivate drivers to behave carefully while driving. With the help of the Exodrive platform, the taxi fleet plans to improve its services, improve travel comfort and reduce road accidents. In addition, thanks to the assessment of driving quality, the taxi fleet will help drivers improve their skills and receive additional bonuses for high-quality passenger service.

With the help of an assessment of the quality of driving, the taxi fleet plans to analyze the accident risks of each driver and carry out measures to motivate drivers to behave carefully while driving, "said Damir Kurmaev, director of Taxi RITM.

We support the introduction of taxi driver driving scoring. The results of the first pilot projects with taxi companies in Moscow showed a decrease in accident rates to 30%. The heads of taxi companies on reports from such systems can now timely establish work with drivers in terms of careful driving and compliance with traffic rules, - commented Irina Zaripova, Chairman of the Public Council for Taxi Development.

{{quote "Every year in the city flow the number of taxi cars is growing, while according to the latest estimates, a third of all cases of road accidents in Moscow fall on this particular type of transport, which a priori implies the presence of a professional driver at the wheel and a high level of travel safety. The Exodrive platform is a reliable assistant to both the passenger and the taxi company, the introduction of artificial intelligence will guarantee a high level of comfort and safety for the passenger, and will also allow the taxi company to increase the economic performance of its activities, - said Kirill Zhanaidarov, Director of the Transport Department of the Skolkovo Foundation. }}
