Case Study – Fleet Telematics
How you are driving influences, without any doubt, how much energy you consume and the wear of your vehicle’s components, i.e., powertrain, brake wear, and tire wear. The EU project MODALES, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, aims to tackle the challenges to enhance low-emission practices and suppress high-emission behavior.
Focussing among others on the driver, as one critical factor, the 19 project partners were looking for a solution to analyze and assess driving behavior based on mobility data.
The three-year project with nine pilot sites in Europe researched the identification of low-emission driving style that can be fostered through driver training, a driver support app, and guidelines for regular maintenance to ensure efficient, resource-saving conduct on the roads.
The project collected driving and location data via their mobile application. Looking for a solution to enrich this raw GPS data with context and gain insights into the factors influencing low-emission driving, they selected Motion-S’ mobility analytics API suite. Sending the generated raw GPS data to the platform allowed them to create their data lake. Motion-S provided the project with a set of callbacks for getting the trip-based raw (JSON) augmented and profiled data to the project team’s endpoint. During the augmentation phase, more than 100 different information elements are added to each location and road segment of the trip, e.g., road characteristics and quality, road topology and limitations, traffic signals, and weather information, to name only some.
Motion-S’ mobility data analytics platform provides contextualized data and allows us to focus on the driving assistant’s intelligence to support drivers in driving more sustainably. We are benefiting from around fifty metrics deduced based on GPS coordinates. A further advantage is that it allows us to save anonymized rich data, and not only raw GPS coordinates.

The invention of the gas-powered car by Carl Benz in 1885 wasn’t just another step in the history of mobility—this time, humanity has made a real leap forward. By making transportation more efficient and accessible, internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles have affected all industries in one way or another. Over time, we started to rely on them so heavily that we now design our routines, lifestyles, and even entire cities around them.
But no king rules forever. Fast-forward to today, and after almost 130 years, the reign of combustion engine cars is slowly but surely coming to an end. A new contender is on the rise—electric vehicles (EVs). … Read More
According to various sources, a new car loses 9–11% of its value the moment you drive off the dealer’s lot. Over 2-3 years, its price may diminish by more than a half! Although it might seem that the situation is helpless, data science can provide a cure. Learn how applying the right algorithms on telematics data can help you protect and boost the value of your vehicles.
