According to WHO about 1.4 Million people die due to traffic accidents every year. About 80% of crashes involved some form of driver inattention, and the primary causes of driver inattention are distracting activities and drowsiness. Driventive offers a mobile app that takes advantage of generic phone cameras and deep-learning to detect distraction / drowsiness while driving.

6. The app's function goes beyond mere monitoring and tries to come up
with ideas and solutions to help the driver regain his calm after
experiencing high levels of inattention.
Our Solution #1
A mobile app that takes advantage of smartphones' cameras
coupled with deep learning (computer vision) to detect
distraction while driving.
"Distraction score" determines how distracted a driver has been up to
that point. The more distracted a driver becomes, the higher this
number will be.
6
7. 7
The user places smartphone on a holder in a way that the
selfie camera can recognize her face and her body.
Through the selfie camera, a deep (computer vision)
model analyzes risky behavours in real-time based on
facial expressions, head movements, and body gestures.
For example, a driver talking to a passenger opens and
closes her mouth and might move her head to see the
passenger or approve her words. Using such signs, the
system detects a driver is not entirely focused on the road.
Our Solution #2
11. For Every 4-wheeled light vehicle driver
Who need Increased safety and reduced getting fined
Driventive is A real-time assistant whose main job is to prevent distracted by alarming distracted drivers and helping
them recover from their extreme situations
That provides Real-time notification and recommendations in case of high distractedness
Unlike competitors Who have specifically designed their solutions for high-end customers or commercial use cases
Our product Aims to arm the mass market with the use of computer vision in battling distracted driving
Positioning Statement
11
12. We believe that: Every 4-wheeled light vehicle driver
Should be able to: Drive attentively and safely
By: By having the chance to detect and remove all the potential sources of distractions he may
face while driving
Through the ability to: Being notified whenever he is recognized as "highly distracted" and getting a report once in
a while showing him how distracted he's been driving during the last month/last week
As a result of: Using the Driventive application. The app alarms the driver in case of high distractions and
gives him reports of his driving status
For the investment of
approximately:
Nearly $3 a month
Value Proposition – User Buyer*
Our key differentiating
factor is our state-of-the-

13. Value Chain – User Buyer
Capturing data Analyzing the data Calculating risk score Gauging and alarming
Helping the distracted
driver to recover
Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 Stage 5
In this stage, after the user
pushes the "on" button, the
app starts to work in the
background and captures
real-time data from the
driver's head movements
and body gestures
The captured data is
analyzed in this stage. The
video records are
compared with the pre-
defined patterns of
distraction, and the output
is sent to the risk-scoring
algorithm.
This score is calculated in
real-time and shows the
level of drivers'
distractedness. The more
the driver moves his head
or changes his body
gestures, the higher this
score becomes. This score
acts as input to the gauge
presented in the next step.
In this stage, the real-time
score of the driver is
compared to the normal
range of safe driving. If it
exceeds the range, the
driver is shown an alarm
with the help of a dog-like
mascot and his angry voice-
empowered wordings.
If the driver's distraction
score is recognized as
risky, the app provides
the driver with some
options to choose
among. By choosing any
of the recommendations,
the driver is directed to
that solution.
