App Presentation¶
Overview¶
DriverScore is a comprehensive mobile application designed to help drivers understand and improve their driving behavior through real-time monitoring and intelligent analytics.
Core Technology¶
Accelerometer-Based Detection¶
DriverScore uses your smartphone's accelerometer to detect:
- Harsh Acceleration - Sudden speed increases detected on Y-axis
- Harsh Braking - Sudden deceleration detected on Y-axis
- Lateral Movements - Side-to-side forces detected on X-axis
- Smooth Driving - Gentle acceleration patterns
ECG-Style Visualization¶
Your driving is displayed as an ECG-like line chart:
Lightning: Extreme acceleration (> threshold)
Acceleration: Normal harsh acceleration (threshold)
Smooth: Gentle, controlled driving
Braking: Sharp deceleration
Restful: Very smooth driving
The signature green line (#00d66d) progresses left to right over 30-second windows, showing real-time driving patterns.
Main Features¶
1. Real-Time Trip Recording¶
- Automatic trip detection when vehicle motion starts
- Background recording while app is minimized
- Calibration phase for optimal device orientation detection
- Multiple mount point support (dashboard, portrait, landscape)
2. Trip Analysis¶
- Driving Score (0-100) based on smoothness metrics
- Event classification (harsh accel, braking, lateral movement)
- G-Force Metrics - Real acceleration force measurements
- Speed Tracking - Speed data correlated with events
- Route Visualization - Color-coded map with event markers
3. Reports & Insights¶
- Individual Trip Reports - Detailed breakdown of every journey
- Driving Style Badges - Personality classifications
- "Smooth Operator" - Master of gentle driving
- "Speed Demon" - Aggressive acceleration habits
- "Brake Master" - Smooth braking patterns
- Comparative Statistics - "Better than X% of drivers"
- Personalized Tips - AI-generated driving improvement suggestions
4. Achievement System¶
š Perfect Mile - 1 mile without harsh events ā Early Bird - Smooth morning drive š Night Owl - Smooth evening drive š„ On Fire - 3+ consecutive trips with 90+ score
5. User Profiles¶
- Multiple user support with individual avatars
- Trip compilation and comparison
- Personal driving history tracking
Advanced Visualization¶
Route Heatmap¶
Color-coded route segments indicating driving quality: - š¢ Green - Smooth driving - š” Yellow - Moderate events - š“ Red - Harsh events
Dynamic Route Styling¶
- Speed-based thickness - Thicker line = higher speeds
- G-force pulsing - Line intensity shows force magnitude
- Elevation profile - Terrain context for your drive
Interactive Replay¶
- Play button animates your journey along the route
- Timeline scrubber for jumping to specific moments
- Events pop up as the replay passes them
- G-force meter shows real-time forces
Customization¶
Sensitivity Profiles¶
Users can select from predefined profiles: - Low Sensitivity - Only extremely harsh events detected - Medium Sensitivity - Standard event detection - High Sensitivity - Aggressive event detection - Custom Profiles - Create your own thresholds
Threshold Sliders¶
Fine-tune detection for: - Acceleration threshold (m/s²) - Braking threshold (m/s²) - Lateral movement threshold (m/s²)
Mobile Integration¶
Android Features¶
