MyDrive™

Product overview

Developed by Journey Dynamics, MyDrive™ is an intelligent software component that learns individual driver behaviour and then applies this knowledge to help offer personalised routes and deliver highly accurate journey time forecasts. MyDrive™ factors over 45,000 different combinations of driver behaviour and typically doubles the accuracy when forecasting journey times. When MyDrive™ is used in conjunction with Journey Dynamics high resolution TrafficSpeeds speed forecast product, the accuracy of forecasting a journey time is more than tripled when compared to current forecasting capability. MyDrive™ is quality assured on over 10,000 real journeys, and performance is calculated at different times to measure accuracy as the system learns.

The MyDrive™ system identifies an individual’s driving behaviour and records how the driver behaves under a variety of driving conditions. MyDrive™ then applies this learned behaviour to forecasts of journey time, or with full integration, generate routes that better match the drivers own driving style. MyDrive™ is quality tested, fully portable and easy to integrate.  MyDrive™ incorporates rapid learning techniques so that the benefits of MyDrive™ are established early after the system is first used.

To create the MyDrive™ system, Journey Dynamics has used their extensive experience in traffic forecasting and aspects of their core technology to identify and generate a highly efficient multidimensional driver profile that takes into account factors such as road types, road conditions, congestion status, environment, speed and acceleration preferences and demographics.

Techniques used within MyDrive™ also allow the system to provide accurate information in relation to roads whether the driver is familiar or not with the route. This is possible because MyDrive™ records driving habits and applies this appropriately across the entire road network. 

Global Coverage
MyDrive™ enables suppliers to offer the same levels of accuracy and personalisation on a global basis because MyDrive™ generates its own speed forecasts in order to operate in a standalone mode. MyDrive™ has been designed to improve accuracy whether a detailed speed forecast product is available for a country or not. If a link level or TMC segment based speed forecast is not available then MyDrive™ can still deliver personalised journey time forecasts from the fixed or average speeds contained in all map products.
