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.

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” The best-known technology law formulated by Sir Arthur C. Clark in the ’60s still holds today, when insurance companies can use connected telematics solutions as a competitive lever to improve profitability and expand their customer base. To better understand how that works, we’ll take a step back and examine how telematics has changed over time. … Read More
“Data is King.” This saying is getting thrown around so often that it has lost its punch. However, as cliché, as it may be, it remains valid in fleet management, where managers can glean data from multiple sources to drive operational insights and solve everyday challenges. Thus, this article looks into different ways fleet managers can use data analytics to their benefit and provides suggestions on choosing a telematics solution suitable for one’s needs.
