Google Research uses Android Auto hard-braking data to predict road crash risk

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Google Research has developed a new method for assessing road safety by analyzing hard-braking events (HBEs) collected from Android Auto. This approach uses HBEs as a leading indicator of crash risk, contrasting with traditional methods that rely on lagging crash statistics. The research found a statistically significant positive correlation between a higher frequency of HBEs and increased crash rates, suggesting HBEs can provide a more immediate and scalable measure for proactive road safety evaluations.
