What input data is used in our algorithms?

The algorithms for calculating driving indicators essentially use data from your smartphone's GPS sensor:

• The speed of travel;
• The direction of travel (or heading);
• Elevation (which makes it possible to estimate the slope of the road);
• The accuracy of the measurement (which can vary depending on the position, conditions or sensor);
• The time corresponding to each measured point.

These quantities are essential to characterize the forces that apply to a vehicle traveling on the road. Our algorithms use physical models and fundamental relationships that govern vehicle dynamics.
