Touch and Movement Tracking

LETSTOP's technology is at the forefront of safe driving applications, leveraging cutting-edge algorithms to accurately track and differentiate between phone touches and general movement.

The app employs a robust system of sensors and algorithms specifically designed to monitor phone use events during driving sessions. This system is integral to promoting safe driving habits and ensuring that users are rewarded for their attention to the road.

Sensor Integration and Event Detection

At the heart of this functionality are the phone's screen sensors, which work in conjunction with the GPS unit to precisely identify instances of phone use while driving. Each interaction with the phone's screen - whether the app is active or running in the background - is meticulously logged. The app's sophisticated algorithms then cross-reference these touches with the vehicle's speed as determined by the GPS data.

Speed Threshold for Phone Use

A critical component of this system is the speed threshold set to differentiate between normal phone handling and actual phone use while driving. Any touch detected while the vehicle is moving at speeds exceeding 10 km/h is categorized as phone use. This threshold ensures that the app is effectively distinguishing between driving and stationary interactions with the phone.

Mapping and Recording Interactions

Each instance of phone use is not only registered within the app's system but is also visually marked on the ride map. This feature provides users with a clear and actionable overview of their driving habits, encouraging them to minimize distractions.

Interval Between Checks

To ensure accuracy and prevent false positives, the app initiates a check for subsequent phone use only after a 30-second window has passed from the last recorded interaction. This interval is strategically set to account for the natural pauses in driving behavior and to maintain the integrity of the data collected.

By leveraging this intricate network of sensors and speed checks, the LETSTOP app is able to provide a comprehensive and reliable measure of phone use while driving, reinforcing safe behavior, and providing users with feedback that can lead to improved driving practices over time.
