Driver Distractions - Don't be a Statistic
Our Mission
DriveAngel’s mission is to change the way we use our phones when driving.
Rather than a social tool to stay updated with the latest news we believe when driving your phone should help increase your safety.
Using your phone while driving is an unfortunate habit most motorists currently have that DriveAngel can assist you with.
DriveAngel also provides you with the security of accident monitoring, ensuring assistance is sent immediately in the event of a crash. If we can save just one life by keeping motorist’s attention on the road then we will have achieved our goals with DriveAngel.
Driver Distraction
80% of accidents occur within 3 seconds of driver distraction. By minimising distractions we can reduce accidents and save lives. DriveAngel prevents driver distraction in a few key ways:
70% of accidents take place because drivers are distracted by calls and messages. DriveAngel removes this distraction by allowing you to block phone calls and notifications. Callers will receive a message stating that you are driving and will return their call on arrival. (N.B. You can take calls while using DriveAngel)
Driver fatigue is the second most common cause of road deaths. DriveAngel monitors the minutes and miles since your last break and, once a pre-set limit is reached, will remind you to take a break. Stretching your arms and legs, and rehydrating are proven to help keep you focused on the road.
Excessive noise is proven to adversely affect your concentration. To combat this distraction DriveAngel notifies users when they need to turn the volume down.
Accident Monitoring
Should you be involved in an accident, Drive Angel will automatically communicate the location and circumstances of your accident to the emergency services, additionally notifying your Personal Angels.
If DriveAngel has detected any of the several parameters indicating that your car has crashed, it will trigger an alert to our 24/7 call centre, informing them of critical information including:
- Exact GPS location
- Speed before the crash
- Vehicle details
- Driver medical details - blood type, regular medications and allergies.
As a result, the time between the crash and medical intervention can be halved. This saving and the accuracy provided could save your life and the lives of your loved ones.
Optionally any accident alerts can also be sent to your Personal Angels, letting them know your locations and further accident details.
How does it work?
Once the application is switched on, the user's mobile phone starts transmitting a “heart beat”, meaning a small data packet is sent to the server in regular intervals. This information is processed on our server and the user’s status can be seen.
If the algorithm concludes that there has been an accident the call centre operator gets an alert. Within a few seconds, the operator willinitiate a phone call to the user to manually check whether or not a real accident occurred.
While making the call, the operator receives the first data packet AFTER the accident, confirming the mobile phone is still functioning.
At this moment, the operator faces one of two possible scenarios:
1) User FAILS to respond to a call but the subsequent data packet confirms the phone is still working (or there was no subsequent data packet suggesting the mobile phone was destroyed). This indicates an accident has occurred and the operator alerts the emergency services, forwarding the following information:
- Precise location of the accident
- Vehicle make, model, registration number, colour, model, year
- Relevant medical data about the user:
- Age
- Blood group
- Conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.
- Regular medications
- Anything else that may be relevant
2) User answers the operator's call, proceeding in either of 2 ways:
- Confirming the occurrence of an accident - the operator alerts the emergency services as above.
Features
BASIC VERSION
Once the smartphone starts moving faster than 12 mph, the user receives an alert, notifying them that the app has turned on.
For optimal accuracy users are advised to manually start the app the moment they get behind the wheel, in order to develop a habit in the same way they routinely reach for the safety belts.
Upon reaching his/her destination, the application should be turned off. If they forget to do so, the DA application will quickly prompt this.
PRO VERSION
All Pro users receive an iBeacon that is easily registered to your vehicle and attached to a flat surface on the inside of your car. This interacts with your phone using Bluetooth technology allowing the app to run in the background whenever you are driving.
This greatly increases the accuracy of the app and reduces the manual input required by the user.
