The article entitled “How Uber Engineering Increases Safe Driving With Telematics” by Beinstein and Sumers (2016) attempts to give insight on Uber’s utilization of telematic data to improve road safety and eradicate unsafe driving habits. Under the company’s mobile architecture, Global Positioning System (GPS) information from each trip is processed under Trip Services; while information gathered via Uber’s Vehicle Movement Processor, which analyses key indicators including harsh braking and sudden acceleration, will be utilized to complement and enhance the credibility of the telematics data obtained from the drivers.
Combining the two data sources, the resultant data will then be processed under Apache’s distributed streaming platform, Kafka, before they are committed to long-term storage under the HADOOP Distributed File System (HDFS). Using programs like Hive and Spark, batch data analyses are conducted to compute and derive statistics such as the ‘daily city-level averages for hard brakes’. Upon completion of the analyses, these data will be indexed under Elasticsearch cluster and made available via an Application programming interface (API) for developers.
