We design mobile applications and SDKs to measure mobility, reduce road risk and coach drivers. We transform smartphone sensor signals into reliable and meaningful indicators of driving behavior.
Who we are?
We are a multidisciplinary team of researchers, mobile and backend developers, physicists and data scientists aligned on a common objective : to understand driving behaviours to improve road safety and reduce the environmental impact of mobility.
Our mission
DriveQuant takes its name from a vision and a goal: to describe and quantify (QUANT) mobility and driving (DRIVE) from smartphone sensors with an honest approach that relies on algorithms derived from physics, mathematics and statistics.
We process data with a sense of ethics and we do not sell it because we are convinced that it belongs only to the humans who produce it and that our mission is to give it back with greater value through connected and personalized insurance, prevention services, advice to reduce fuel consumption and assistance services in case of accidents.
Our passion is to act on reality by simply using our knowledge and algorithms that analyze the sensor data of the one and only object capable of measuring the complex and multimodal mobility of a human being: the smartphone.

Our culture
Innovation
We are specialists in energy, automatic control, data science, mobile and cloud applications development. We solve complex problems with approaches that combine all these disciplines. Our energy analysis and driving safety algorithms have been patented. We are passionate about using the right algorithms to create knowledge and improve the lives of our users.
Simplicity
We are passionate about understanding motion and the phenomena described by complex signals. Our role is to provide technology that processes signals from smartphones into simple, easy-to-understand and easy-to-use indicators for our customers, for the developers who integrate our data, and most importantly for the drivers who use connected services.
Ethic
We do not use data for marketing purposes and we do not sell it. GDPR issues are at the heart of our technology and platform. We increase the value of data to give it back to whom it belongs: Drivers.
Objectivity
Our services have been designed to deliver a universal, impartial and pedagogical analysis. We know how to isolate the influence of the driver's behavior from environmental factors that are beyond his control. Our approach consists in calculating a reference to indicate which behavior to adopt to improve driving efficiency and safety.
Transparency
Our solution is not a black box that delivers subjective indicators. There is sincerity in the data and our job is to capture it. We are committed to the explicability of the phenomena we observe and we do not hide our technical choices or the algorithms we use. We believe that the success of smartphone telematics is only possible with a transparent and educational approach to our customers and end users.
Results-oriented
We work with our customers in a collaborative spirit to guide them to success. Our satisfaction comes from the success of projects that integrate our technology, find a market and impact the daily lives of drivers.
