Smartphone telematics provider TrueMotion has partnered with 163 Inrix to provide contextual driving data to auto car insurers to help improve driver safety and lower costs from losses.

Through the agreement, insurers working with TrueMotion can incorporate Inrix traffic, incident and road weather data into their digital programmes. In addition, Inrix’s safety alerts aim to enable insurers to deliver real-time driving notifications to their clients and help them anticipate dangerous slowdowns, accidents ahead and hazardous road conditions.

TrueMotion integrates the data into its patented platform and supplies it to insurers through a software development kit for use in apps. Insurers can use the contextual road data with the company’s driving and distraction data to understand a driver’s risk profile.

Kevin Foreman, vice president and general manager, enterprise sector at Inrix, said: “Inrix traffic and weather data adds powerful context to the assessment of risk and driver behaviour. Accurate situational context completes the digital view – enabling actuarial, claims and customer engagement goals to be met in new, quantifiable ways.”
