3PM : Onboard road safety assessment for insurance companies (pay how you drive) and for car manufacturers (driverless car) SafetyNex
Insurance Companies :
Move from pricing group by group (segmentation) to pricing driver by driver Then statistics of accident cannot be relevant (accidents are rare and one cannot wait for accident to modify the pricing for a driver). One need to predict … to estimate if the driver takes risks or not. And it would be great to have it in real time because it may be used to warm the driver before he/she gets in a dangerous case.
Car Manufacturers :
Measure the risk taken by the driverless function. Needed to control the driverless function, needed to know when to give back control to the driver, needed in case of accident for responsability study.

Autonomous Car Test & Developement
Day 2 : June 1st 09:30 – Building a relevant validation database for camera-based ADAS
Gérard Yahiaoui, President and CEO, Nexyad, France
Validation of camera-based artificial vision systems applied on open world is a very complex issue. An HD colour camera may generate more than 65 000 power 2 000 000 different images (information theory), so it is not possible to test every possible message. We propose a deterministic approach for building a validation database using the AGENDA methodology that was developed and published in the 1990s for neural network database (learn and test) design.


Active Safety Munich
Nexyad will be present on a booth with Groupement ADAS.
Groupement ADAS is a Team of innovative companies with over 20 years experience in the field of technologies used in driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicles (design, implementation and integration of ADAS in vehicles for safety features, driver assistance, partial delegation to the autonomous vehicle). Members of the groupements propose complementary expertise, tools and test equipment (including test tracks) to take-up your challenging projects covering vehicle electronics, vehicle dynamics, command/control, HMI, perception, computer vision, data-fusion, communication, eco-driving… Groupement ADAS members are: CAR&D , FH Electronics, GlobalSensing Technologies, Intempora, Nexyad, Nomadic Solutions, Sherpa Engineering and Transpolis. It is coordinated by the French MOV’EO cluster.

Nexyad Intelligence :
Experts say driverless cars will require artificial intelligence

Automakers intending to bring driverless cars to market need to work as much on software design as mechanical engineering, the researcher leading Nissan Motor Co.’s automated-vehicle program said.

Making cars that are “deliberative” in assessing road conditions, rather than just reactive, requires artificial intelligence, Maarten Sierhuis, director of Nissan’s Silicon Valley research center in Sunnyvale, California, said in an interview. The carmaker, which aims to sell vehicles that can drive themselves by 2020 or sooner, is developing software to read and filter sensor data much as a human brain does, he said.

NEXYAD has been working on such an Artificial Intelligence through their risk of accident computing module SafetyNex.

SafetyNex is a knowledge-based system that computes a huge data fusion : information about the navigation map, speed of the car, accelerations, visibility, grip(adherence), time to collision, interdistance, … This data fusion aims to compute a risk of accident : low score means the driver (human driver … or Artificial Intelligence, robot) drives in a safe way. This SafetyNex is an artificial intelligence that should work embeded with the driving robot.

The first market of SafetyNex is Insurance companies that need to score the behaviour of drivers (pay how you drive …), it doesn’t need to be as precised and reliable than it should be for a driverless car, but NEXYAD started to deploy and then will be the most experienced ADAS/AI company on this subject in 2020 when autonomous cars will invade the streets.

Nexyad made experimentation in the same path with four different driving behaviour, each second we recorded points that represent a score of safety and of Eco driving. The more high on the graphic is the points the more safe is the driving, the more right the more Eco :

Good & Bad drivers


Sportive & Quiet Drivers

Some insurance companies gave up measuring driver behaviour :
Nexyad explains why their settings are ineffective

According to the newspaper ‘Les Echos », AG Insurance gave up linking driving behavior to accident. For eight months, the insurer has equipped the car of staff members with « smartbox ». Verdict? Nah, nothing interesting linkable to driving style !
In 2014, the bank insurer KBC had reached the same conclusion after a test conducted with 150 employees, whose car was equipped with a device provided by TomTom.  »

For Nexyad, there is no mystery. Until now the applications or cases expected to provide data on the behavior of drivers all operate on the same principles :
– severe acceleration and braking
– Vehicle geolocation
– Cornering speed / curves
– Usage (mileage, road types, driving schedules, for example)

This information does not measure the « good behavior » that may inform actuaries of insurance on real risks taken by their clients.
Indeed, the correlation between the brutal acceleration (or severe braking) and road safety is a mistaken belief. The assumption that severe braking would report to a lack of anticipation of the driver, and instead a slight braking would be a sign of good anticipation is definitely wrong. This has been formally shown and demonstrated by experts in road safety. Besides, these same experts believe that an Eco driving is necessarily dangerous: Eco driving mainly keeping as most as possible the vehicle’s inertia, and thus slowing down as little as possible, which would push the Eco drivers to delay their decision of braking including when they approach a vulnerable road user (pedestrians, bicycles, scooters, etc.).
Nexyad worked since 2001 on these issues through four national collaborative research programs and now has a totally disruptive application that measures the Eco driving, but also road safety and those two measurements has no correlation).

This work consisted, for 15 years, in building the causal rules that lead to accidents. This is entirely different of statistical approaches. An insurance actuary may find that the majority of drivers under 25 years old with a red car have more accidents than others, and then this actuary could modulate its pricing on this criterion. This is reasoning on correlations and not cause and effect. Nexyad is the first and only company that can bring cause and effect considerations into accident risk assesment for insurance companies.

Nexyad developed the module SafetyNex which decodes the difficulties of the road infrastructure (dangerous curves, intersections, pedestrian crossings, school zone, etc.) relates those difficulties to the behavior of the vehicle through a grid of cause and effect. The construction of this grid of cause and effect required 15 years of knowledge extraction among a panel of road safety experts (their job is to explain accidents, and find ways to reshape roads and infrastructures in order to reduce statistics of accidents – national and European).

SafetyNex has been validated by INRETS (now became IFFSTAR) that deployed 500 vehiclesand compared risk estimation by SafetyNex with the accidents database « MAIS » of the National French Gendarmerie. We could demonstrate that SafetyNex estimates risk of traffic accident, as an immediately usable score for actuaries of insurance (for example).

NB: Accidents are rare events (one every 70 000km on average). This is why teams of road safety improvement at the national level have set up « observatories of cars trajectories ». They allowed to count the « near misses ». A near miss is accident that were prevented at the very last second (because one of the drivers had the proper reflex, …). When observing a repeat of near misses, then you end up getting an accident (near misses are at least a hundred times more numerous than accidents).
Nexyad is the only team of telematics solutions that brings this knowledge of these near misses and that is able to share it with the risk estimation experts at insurance companies.

How it works ?
Every second, a risk score and an Eco score are computed by SafetyNex, depending on the vehicle speed relative to the difficulty of the road infrastructure. Drivers can be warned in advance, 4 seconds before arriving on the dangerous area. Then SafetyNex may also decrease the number of accident (or the severity of accidents when they can’t be avoided).
SafetyNex establishes daily or weekly reports on the risk and eco and shows what could have been better (advices on driving efficiency improvement).
Insurers may get reports too : the real risk indicators. This is what Nexyad called SafetyNex signature driving behavior (duration at every level of risk, for instance).

View demos 4 films on the same route (1mn30):

Example of a good driver : both safe and Eco.

Example of a bad driver : both waste and risky

Example of a sporting driver : waste but safe most of the time

Example of a quit driver : eco, but very dangerous. Note : because this driver shows no severe braking, no over speed, then telematics solutions (except SafetyNex) will classify this driver as a GOOD DRIVER : this is a proof that severe brakin and over speed DO NOT give ANY information about road safety.

Des assureurs renoncent à mesurer le comportement des conducteurs !
Nexyad explique pourquoi leurs paramètres sont inopérants.

Selon les Echos « AG Insurance renonce à lier la prime auto au comportement. Pendant huit mois, l’assureur a équipé la voiture de collaborateurs d’une « smartbox ». Verdict? Bof, pas de quoi lier la prime au style de conduite.

En 2014, le bancassureur KBC avait tiré les mêmes conclusions d’un test mené auprès de 150 collaborateurs, dont la voiture avait été équipée d’un dispositif fourni par TomTom. »

Pour Nexyad, il n’y a pas de mystère. Jusqu’à aujourd’hui les applications ou boîtiers censés fournir des données sur le comportement des conducteurs fonctionnent sur de mêmes principes falsifiables :

– remontée des données d’accélération et de freinage
– géolocalisation du véhicule
– vitesse dans les virages/courbes
– usage du conducteur (kilométrage, types de route, horaires de conduite par exemple)

Ces informations ne permettent pas de mesurer la « bonne conduite » et de renseigner les actuaires des assurances sur les risques réels pris par leurs clients.
En effet, la corrélation entre la brutalité des accélérations d’une part, la sévérité des freinages d’autre part et la sécurité routière est une croyance erronée. L’hypothèse selon laquelle un freinage sévère relèverait d’un manque d’anticipation du conducteur, et au contraire qu’un freinage léger serait le signe d’une bonne anticipation est fausse. Cela a été démontré formellement par les experts de la sécurité routière. D’ailleurs ces mêmes experts sont persuadés qu’une conduite Eco est nécessairement dangereuse : conduire Eco c’est garder l’inertie du véhicule, et donc freiner le moins possible, ce qui pousserait les conducteurs Eco à retarder leur décision de freinage y compris devant un vulnérable (piétons, vélos, scooters, etc.).

Nexyad a travaillé depuis 2001 sur ces questions au travers de 4 programmes de recherches nationaux collaboratifs et dispose aujourd’hui d’une application totalement disruptive qui mesure l’Eco conduite, mais aussi la sécurité routière.
Ce travail a consisté durant 15 ans à construire les règles de causalité des accidents. Cela est entièrement différent des approches statistiques. Un actuaire d’assurance qui constaterait que la majorité des conducteurs de moins de 25 ans possédant une voiture rouge ont plus d’accidents que les autres pourrait moduler sa tarification sur ce critère. Ceci est un raisonnement sur des corrélations et non pas sur des relations de cause à effet.
Nexyad a développé le module SafetyNex qui est à ce jour le seul au monde à décoder les difficultés de l’infrastructure routière (courbes dangereuses, intersections, passages piéton, zone écoles, etc.) rapportées au comportement du véhicule selon une grille de relations de cause à effet. La construction de cette grille a nécessité 15 ans de recueil d’expertises auprès des experts chargés de réaménager les routes afin de réduire les statistiques nationales et européennes d’accidentologie.

SafetyNex a été validé par les roulages de 500 véhicules de l’Institut de recherche INRETS devenu IFSTTAR, puis par des comparaisons d’estimation du risque avec la carte des accidents de la route du fichier « MAIS » de la gendarmerie nationale. Nous avons démontré que SafetyNex mesure un risque d’accident de la route, variable immédiatement utilisable pour les actuaires des assurances (par exemple).
NB : Les accidents sont rares (un tous les 70 000km en moyenne). C’est pourquoi les équipes chargées de la sécurité routière au niveau national ont constitué des observatoires de trajectoires qui permettent de compter les « quasi-accidents ». Un quasi-accident est un accident évité de justesse. Lorsqu’on observe une répétition de la fréquence de quasi-accidents, on finit par obtenir un accident (les quasi-accidents sont au minimum cent fois plus nombreux que les accidents).
Nexyad est la seule équipe proposant des solutions télématiques qui a connaissance de ces quasi-accidents, qui intègre les règles de causalité de l’accidentologie à son module SafetyNex et qui peut les partager avec les experts d’estimation de risque et des bases de sinistralité des assurances.

Comment ça marche ?
Chaque seconde une note de risque et une note Eco sont mesurées par SafetyNex en fonction de la vitesse du véhicule rapportée à la difficulté de l’infrastructure routière. Le conducteur peut être prévenu en avance (4 secondes) si le risque mesuré le met en danger lui et les autres usagers. SafetyNex établit des rapports journaliers ou hebdomadaires (par exemple) sur la conduite de l’utilisateur et les points qu’il devrait améliorer.
Les assureurs peuvent éventuellement disposer des rapports de conduite de leurs assurés et récompenser ceux dont la conduite est sûre par rapport aux vrais indicateurs de risque. C’est ce que Nexyad appelle la signature SafetyNex de comportement en conduite.

Exemple d’un bon conducteur à la fois sûr et Eco.

Exemple d’un mauvais conducteur qui ne s’adapte pas à l’infrastructure et consomme trop de carburant.

Exemple d’un conducteur sportif, il accélère fort et freine sévèrement, il n’est pas Eco mais il est plutôt sûr.

Exemple d’un conducteur calme, il est Eco mais ne freine ni ne décélère là où il devrait (intersections, passages piétons), il est très dangereux.
