SWAN SafeDrive gives you feedback about your driving, helping you become a safer and better driver under a program that can earn you rewards for developing more responsible driving habits. SWAN SafeDrive automatically detects when driving starts and stops, and uses the phone’s sensors to measure your vehicle’s driving dynamics. It uses low-power sensing methods to reduce battery consumption. The app shows you trip summaries, details on maneuvers, and gives you useful feedback to become a better driver. It also acts a low-power logger of all of your driving trips. Provided you have mobile data switched on and you are within cellular network range, SWAN SafeDrive can also prompt Swan to call you for providing assistance in case it detects an impact on your vehicle. This application operates with the SWAN SafeDrive Tag device. By linking seamlessly with the smartphone app, the tag accurately calculates vehicle maneuvers. The Swan SafeDrive tag requires a bluetooth connection. SWAN SafeDrive runs in the background and uses GPS. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
