Smart Driver App

General

What is SMART DRIVER?

SMART DRIVER is an app that reflects your driving behavior and promotes anticipatory driving. Predictive driving means a reduction in the risk of accidents. Smart Driver supports you in moving more safely in daily road traffic. SMART DRIVER promotes this through trophies and awards. Customers of Porsche Versicherungs AG can additionally determine the premium discount with their driving style.

How does SMART DRIVER work?

SMART DRIVER is an APP that uses telematics data (measured by the cell phone) to evaluate driving behavior.

How much does SMART DRIVER cost?

The use of the APP is free of charge for all participants. However, charges may apply for mobile data traffic.

Do I have to be a customer of Porsche Bank AG or Porsche Versicherungs AG?

To participate in the competition and collect trophies, you only need to use a vehicle registered in Austria. It is not necessary to be a customer of Porsche Bank AG or Porsche Versicherungs AG. However, to take advantage of the possibility of a hull premium reduction, you must be a customer of Porsche Bank AG or Porsche Versicherungs AG and have concluded a fully comprehensive or fully comprehensive plus contract with a direct debit order.

Can only private individuals use the app?

Participation in the competition is only possible for private individuals.

Smart Driver App

Where can I download the APP?

The APP is available for free download in the Apple APP Store or in the Google PlayStore.

With which smartphone can I use the APP?

With a smartphone with operating system iOS from 9.0 or Android from 5.0. In addition, the smartphone must have a 64-bit processor.

Are there smartphones on which the APP does not work?

Depending on the model, there may be problems with smartphones of the "Huawei" brand when using or downloading. The reason for this is that the brand has been removed from the stores by Google and access to the apps has been blocked on new models.

How is the position determined?

The position is determined by means of the GPS signal from your cell phone.

How to start the recording of the journey?

To record your journey, Bluetooth must be turned on on your smartphone. The journey will then be recorded automatically. If Bluetooth connection is not possible on your smartphone, you have to start your journey manually. To do this, press the "Start journey" button.

How is the recording of the trip ended?

If the Bluetooth connection is active, the end of the trip is automatically detected and the trip is saved. If Bluetooth connection is not possible on your smartphone, you have to end your trip manually. To do this, press the "End journey" button. After finishing the journey, you have the option of assigning a name to the journey. If this is not done, the trip will be saved with the trip and date.

What happens if I lose my smartphone?

No problem: Simply download the app on another smartphone and log in with the mail address and password of your Smartdriver account. For security, if you lose your smartphone, you should change the access password to your account to prevent unauthorized access.

How can I change the password of my account?

You can change your password in the app under "My profile" and "Account".

I forgot my password, what should I do?

In the app, click on "Forgot your password?" in the login screen. You will then need to enter your mail address and will be emailed a link that will allow you to create a new password.

How can I change the email address?

To change the email address, click on "My profile" in the menu of the smartphone app and the specified email address. After that, please enter the new email address in the next window. In the browser version, you can make this change under the settings by clicking on "Change email" under "My account". The change must then still be confirmed in the inbox of the new address.

Who is the provider of the app through which my journeys are recorded?

The TELEMATIK app is provided by AMODO D.O.O., a company based in Croatia. The TELEMATIK app can use GPS to record your driving behavior and provide you with information about it.

How much storage/data volume is consumed by the SMART DRIVER app?

The app requires about 50 MB of storage space on iOS devices and about 65 MB on Android devices. The average active user requires about 5 MB per month to record trips or about 100 KB per recorded kilometer.

How much battery power is consumed by the TELEMATIK app?

The exact battery consumption is difficult to determine. Apps with GPS usage usually have higher battery consumption and also the ride data determination is a computationally intensive process. For longer journeys, we therefore recommend using a charger in the vehicle.

Evaluation of the driving behavior

What does Scoring Model mean?

The scoring model evaluates your driving behavior and awards points for it. 100 points are the possible best value. This is achieved if none of the evaluation parameters is exceeded.

Which parameters are used for the evaluation?

  • Adherence to the maximum permitted speed (outside Austria 130km/h is the maximum speed)
  • Strong acceleration
  • Strong braking maneuvers
  • Time of day
  • Road type
  • High cornering speed
  • Time of day
  • Road type

How is the total score calculated?

The total score is calculated from the various measurement parameters, with compliance with the maximum permissible speed having the greatest influence.

Can I report if a score is not correct?

In order to increase the quality of the measurements, we are grateful for any feedback. We pass on every report to the operator of the APP in order to achieve continuous improvement. The score itself will only be changed retroactively if an error is clearly detected.

Trophies and awards

What does collecting trophies mean?

These are "mini competitions". Based on fulfilled criteria you will receive small prizes. You can always see the respective criteria in the corresponding ICON. The trophies are a prerequisite for participating in challenges.

What prizes are there to win?

There are different prizes to win, from fuel vouchers to cash.

How many rides do I have to record for a trophy?

Depending on the amount of the prize to be won, you have to record different numbers of trips or cover distances with a certain score.

At what point does a ride count towards a trophy?

For a ride to count towards a trophy, a minimum distance of 2 km must be covered.

Can employees participate?

Employees can participate, but they are not entitled to the prizes of the challenges.

Smart Driver offers existing Porsche Versicherungs AG customers and those with an active direct debit order the opportunity to "experience" premium credits on your monthly insurance premium. Individual driving behavior is evaluated on the basis of recorded journeys and a corresponding points rating is subsequently determined from this. The points rating is based on the following criteria: Speed, braking maneuvers, acceleration, cornering behavior, road type and time of day.

Depending on the level of the points score at the end of a calendar month (24:00 = 0:00 the following day), a different premium credit results:

Score: 0 - 80.00 points 0% discount

Score: 81 - 85.00 points 5% discount

Score: 86 - 90.00 points 10% discount

Score: 91 - 95.00 points 15% discount

Score: 91 - 95.00 points 20% discount

The booking of the reward credit takes place between the 10th and 15th of each calendar month. A condition for booking the premium credit is an upright direct debit order, as well as the timely and regular premium payments of the Porsche Bank Versicherungs AG customer. The premium credits achieved over the past months can be viewed in the Smart Driver app.

Length of the route: 3km - 4km = 2 points deduction

Length of the track: 2km - 3km = 3 points deduction

Length of the track: 1km - 2km = 4 points deduction

Length of the track: < 1km = 5 points deduction Standing times: Points will be deducted from the total score if many standing times occur during the trip.

Waiting time > 10% = 0 point deduction

Waiting time 10% - 15% = 1 point deduction

Waiting time 15% - 20% = 2 points deduction
