Access to Key Data and Analytic on Drivers
The LexisNexis Telematics Exchange ingests and normalizes telematics data gathered from a variety of data sources, including auto manufacturers (OEMs), 12-Volt, OBDII dongles and smartphone apps like that of TrueMotion. Once this data is compiled and normalized, LexisNexis then scores it using advanced analytics and predictive modeling specific to telematics to provide driving behavior insights for insurers. These capabilities allow insurers to access key data and analytics on drivers, according to the vendor.
