Methodology
How the Driving Index works
The EVVisor Driving Index is a 0–100 score computed from the car's own motion data. Higher means lower observed risk. It is a behavioural risk score, not a claim probability and not a price: in your tariff it is one candidate rating factor, and its relation to your claim frequency is what a programme measures. The thresholds below are the ones the portal uses. Factor weights and bands are shared under NDA, with the validation plan.
From car signals to one index
- 01
Car signals
Tesla Fleet Telemetry streams longitudinal and lateral acceleration, speed, gear and time of day.
about every 500 ms
- 02
Events
Threshold crossings in those signals become events.
thresholds below
- 03
Factor rates
Events per 100 km; speeding as a share of driving time; late-night and short trips (under 5 km) as a share of km.
six factors
- 04
Normalised 0–100
Each rate maps linearly between a best band (scores 100) and a worst band (scores 0).
clamped
- 05
Index
Weighted sum of the six factor scores, rounded to a whole number.
0–100
Event thresholds
- Hard braking below −0.3 g, held for at least 300 ms, with the car's speed falling at 3.0 m/s² or more
- Harsh acceleration above 0.3 g, with the speed rising at 2.0 m/s² or more
- Cornering above 0.4 g lateral
- Late night: 00:00–04:00 Europe/Istanbul
- Speeding proxy: share of moving time at fine-risk speed (141–150 km/h half, 151+ full), until map-matching
Arithmetic
Factor score = 100 × (1 − clamp((measured − best) ÷ (worst − best), 0, 1))
Index = Σ (factor score × weight)
What the insurer gets, and what stays with the driver
Insurer receives
Driving Index
0–100, per period
Factor breakdown
Six factors, their weights and contributions
Data quality
Km covered, samples per km, largest gap, confidence
Model version
The exact model that produced each score
Stays with the driver
Routes
Never leave the driver's account
Location history
No raw location in any insurer view or API
Trip details
Times, places and individual trips
Individual scores reach the insurer only with that driver's explicit consent. Everyone else counts in fleet totals only.
Governance
Model version
fdi-1.3.0Every score is stored with the version of the model that produced it, so a historical quote can be re-run exactly.
Append-only scores
A new model version writes new rows. Existing scores are never overwritten.
Confidence levels
- Provisional
Fewer than 2 samples per km, or under 50 km covered. Directional only.
- Standard
Enough data, but a gap longer than 1 minute inside a trip.
- High
At least 50 km, 2 or more samples per km, and no gap longer than 1 minute inside a trip.
Known limitations
- Seven cars are not actuarial evidence. The pilot shows the method works; it does not prove a link to claims.
- Speeding is a proxy: share of moving time at a speed that can be fined in Turkey, until map-matching adds posted limits. 141–150 km/h counts half (fined on state motorways), 151 km/h and above in full (legal on no road). It undercounts urban speeding.
- Normalisation bands and weights are provisional and will be tuned on real data.
This is the model that scores pilot drivers. Its bands and weights are starting points: tuning them on real pilot telemetry ships as a new version, and scores from this version stay on record.
EVVisor computes the index. Mapping it to premium is your actuarial team's decision.
