According to Swiss Re, the reliability of the crash alert removes the need for insurance clients to have to deal with large volumes of false alerts generated by telematics devices.

Sebastian Bongers, Swiss Re's head of products & technology, says the solution recognises risky driving manoeuvres to properly identify an accident.

Bongers claims insurers have experienced many false positives – incidents where telematics devices detect accidents that not happen.
