PICK'R
A gamified telematics application that drivers use to record their trips. The application gathers real-time GPS data and other sensor readings from mobile. Then, the data is wrapped and unified as trip information and sent to the server for profiling and analysis. Drivers receive a score based on their driving behavior, concluded based on sensor readings. These scores are represented through badges, competitions, and leaderboards with the goal of enhancing driving behavior.
Good Drive
