i-Drive Mobile 1.3

Knowing your driving score is crucial in understanding and mitigating distracted driving risks.

The increasing prevalence of mobile phone use while behind the wheel presents a significant safety concern. With over 210 million registered drivers in the United States and high rates of cell phone engagement, the potential for distraction-related accidents has reached alarming levels. Each day, approximately nine individuals in the U.S. do not return home due to this issue, underscoring the devastating human and financial costs involved.

This challenge particularly affects teenage drivers and the commercial trucking industry, highlighting a widespread, systemic problem that extends nationwide and globally. Addressing this growing concern requires innovative approaches grounded in behavioral understanding—specifically addiction to mobile devices.

i-Drive has developed a straightforward, cost-effective mobile application combined with trend analysis tools designed to confront this problem directly. Its unique approach involves monitoring mobile device usage during driving through GPS technology and an innovative scoring system that assesses distraction levels.

The patented scoring algorithm evaluates the proportion of time the device is in use relative to active driving time. Users receive a clear 'Safe Driving' score and gauge, providing immediate insight into how their habits influence alertness and safety on the road. A lower score directly correlates with safer driving practices.

Recognizing that complete abstinence from phone use may be impractical, i-Drive emphasizes empowering users with control over their behavior. The application offers tools to manage device usage intelligently, supporting better decision-making regarding communication during driving. Additionally, a network of educational and advocacy organizations collaborates to promote safer driving habits.

Key features of i-Drive Mobile include:

• My Score: a percentage indicating device use relative to driving time.
• Drive Time: GPS-based measurement of total driving duration exceeding 15 MPH.
• Time Distracted: numerical representation of distraction periods.
• Safe Driving Gauge: visual indicator of distracted time during trip.
• Passenger/Driver Switch: toggle to deactivate tracking when acting as a passenger.
• Trending: visual summaries of daily and monthly usage patterns and trends.
• Auto Pilot: automatic messaging alerts for short trips in motion.
