About
LightMetrics is an early stage startup that uses computer vision and machine learning to collect and analyze data on driving quality, using a smartphone mounted on the dash. Computer vision allows us to sense risky behaviors like overspeeding, traffic light jumping and tailgating, which are impossible to sense otherwise. This data, along with inputs from other smartphone sensors, is aggregated in the cloud, and driver profiles are built around metrics like safety, comfort and fuel efficiency. For fleet managers, live dashboards give a comprehensive overview of driver behavior, and advanced analytics detect and rectify problems before they become serious incidents. For insurance providers pricing premiums based on driving habits, we provide accurate risk profiles. Aggregated over many users, the crowdsourced capture of driving data allows us to build rich real-time maps for traffic, road and environment analytics.
