Data provides real-time information to help insurers understand client driving behaviour
Female drivers were more cautious in terms of harsh acceleration, braking and cornering, said Netstar. Picture: GETTY IMAGESThis is one of the conclusions from customer-incident data released by the stolen-vehicle recovery and fleet intelligence company, a subsidiary of Altron.
In terms of harsh braking, registered incidents represent 16.9% of female members and 22.8% of male members. The numbers for harsh acceleration are 4.5% for women and 10% for men. For harsh cornering, the proportions are 13.2% vs 18.8% . “The findings indicate that our female customers drove better than our male customers during the four months that we measured,” says Netstar Chief Technology Officer Cliff de Wit. “The data was gathered using Netstar telematics — a combination of vehicle sensors, GPS and telecommunications technology — and supports emerging offerings like usage-based vehicle insurance and underwriting.”
