What is Driving Events Data?
Description
The Mobito driving events data provides anonymized insights into harsh driving behaviors, including harsh braking, acceleration/deceleration, sharp cornering (left/right), and crash events.
Data Source
The data is sourced by millions of vehicles globally from our vetted partners including:
Automotive OEMs; vehicles with embedded connectivity from the car manufacturer
Fleets with after-sales in-vehicle hardware telematics devices
Driving event types
Common event types used to characterize driving behaviour include:
Braking
Cornering (left/right)
Speeding up/ acceleration
Crash (while driving or parked)
Use Cases
This data enables road safety analysis, infrastructure planning, and driver behavior profiling.
Road safety: Helps road operators and municipalities identify high-risk road segments based on driving behavior and near-miss incidents, allowing for better maintenance planning and prioritization
Road infrastructure: Assists in planning and assessing the impact of infrastructure improvements on traffic flow and safety
Driving behaviour analysis: Supports automotive engineers in developing driver personas based on behavior patterns to inform the design of next-generation vehicles

FAQs
How is a vehicle type defined?
How is a vehicle type defined?
A vehicle type is determined either through algorithms that analyze the make and model (e.g., VIN decoding) or through manual input within driver systems.
