With the advancement in automobile technology, vehicles are now autonomous and more connected with our mobile devices than ever. Insurance companies around the world are more and more attracted to the concept of Pay How You Drive (PHYD). Today, in the motor insurance space, there are more than 165 deployments across 35 countries, representing approximately 5 million policies. The growth is exciting and promising.
This article outlines how PHYD can encourage better driving behavior and also suggest an effective solution that has the potential to reduce claims cost/ policy administration and price policies more effectively.

Road Safety Foundation: Making Road Safety PayAgeas UK
Ageas takes its responsibilities seriously. Since 2012, we have sponsored the Road Safety Foundation’s EuroRAP report, an important piece of research that provides real insight into the safety of road infrastructure, showing just how critical road design and construction is for saving lives and preventing accidents.
We have also commissioned the Road Safety Foundation to produce Making Road Safety Pay, an analytical piece of research taking a comprehensive view of road safety. It provides innovative ideas covering not just road infrastructure, but also drivers and vehicles and aims to ensure road safety policy focuses on reducing the cost of road crashes to the economy, currently estimated at 2% of GDP (£34bn).
This report explores the strategic issues that will have to be considered by authorities as more fully automated and ultimately autonomous vehicles arrive on our streets and roads. It was drafted on the basis of expert input and discussions amongst project partners in addition to a review of relevant published research and position papers.
This Global Plan has been developed by the World Health Organization and the United Nations Regional Commissions, in cooperation with partners in the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration and other stakeholders, as a guiding document to support the implementation of the Decade of Action 2021–2030 and its objectives.

The Urgency of Now
1. The Urgency of Now
Why Action is Needed Now to Reverse the Rise in Preventable
Road Traffic Deaths and Serious Injuries
David Ward, Secretary General, Global New Car Assessment Programme
Coalition Meeting, Washington DC
October 13, 2017
2. Global Commitments to Road Safety Action
Over 3500 people are killed daily in road crashes.
3% of GDP is lost worldwide and road crashes are
the number 1 killer of young people.
Low and middle income countries account for
90% of global road deaths and have fatality rates
twice that of high income nations.
UN Decade of Action for Road Safety (2011-2020)
was launched with the aim to ‘stabilize and then
reduce the level of road fatalities’.
UN’s Sustainable Developments Goals for Health
and Cities include road safety with a target to
halve road traffic deaths and injuries by 2020.
These are the UN’s strongest ever global mandates
for action on road injury prevention.
3. New OECD/ITF Report records
rise in road traffic deaths in
many countries in 2015-2016.
A Wake Up Call!
4.
5. EU Target to Halve Road Deaths by 2020 – Progress Stalled
8. Building Global Policy Consensus
The International Transport Forum (ITF) at
the OECD in Paris researches best practices
in road safety policy and is a leading
proponent of the ‘safe systems approach’.
In 2008 they issued the ‘Towards Zero’ report
which endorsed safe systems and advocated
setting ambitious casualty reduction targets.
In 2006 the ITF published ‘Zero Road Deaths
and Serious Injuries’ report which calls for a
Paradigm shift in favour of a safe system.
The ITF hosts an annual Ministerial Summit in
Leipzig, Germany which in 2018 (23-25 May)
will take Safety & Security as its major theme.
9. People make mistakes that lead to road
crashes.
The human body has a limited physical
ability to tolerate crash forces before
harm occurs.
There is shared responsibility
amongst those who design, build,
operate, and use roads and vehicles
to prevent crashes that result in
serious injury or death.
All parts of the system must be
strengthened in combination to multiply
their effects, and if one part fails, road
users are still protected.
Four Principles of the Safe System
10. As simple as A, B, C,
• Avoids default to primary reliance on behavioural measures & blaming victim.
• Builds technology & infrastructure to ‘hard wire’ sustainable road safety.
• Challenges weak demand for safety, poor risk perception, & tolerance of trauma.
• Demands constant improvement reducing risk of policy fatigue and complacency.
• Engages all stakeholders in a co-operative, transparent, and shared strategy.
• Future orientated as it encourages innovation and integration of technologies
promoting road injury prevention.
Why The Safe System?

Traditional Safe System
Rebalancing the Road Injury Prevention Effort
Behavioural Road Design Vehicles
12. Behavioural measures (primarily enforcement) have
an immediate impact but are costly and hard to sustain.
Infrastructure measures require ‘up front’ investment
but can achieve permanent reductions in road injury.
Vehicle measures can secure permanent improvements
but take at least fifteen years to fully penetrate the
vehicle fleet.
Increasingly integration opportunities exist across these
three pillars. Overall the ambition should be to gradually
reduce the reliance on behavioural instruments.
Shared ‘road maps’ are needed to encourage a rebalancing
of policy instruments in support of a safe system and
zero fatalities.
The Challenges & Opportunities of Policy Rebalancing
13. Global NCAP’s 2020 Vision…
In 2016 from a total of 72 million new cars as
many as 20% fail to meet UN minimum
safety standards, lacking air bags, anti-lock
brakes, or electronic stability control.
By 2020 at the latest Global NCAP
wants all new cars to meet UN crash
test standards with air bags, ABS and
ESC fitted as standard.
This needs government action to
apply UN vehicle safety standards
more widely and greater effort to
stimulate customer demand for safer
motor vehicles.
14.
15. Crashworthiness for Pedestrians
Since the mid 1990s there has been a significant
action to mitigate pedestrian injury during an impact
with a passenger car.
Standards have been adopted in Japan, the European
Union and in the United Nations (World Forum
WP29- GTR No.9) to promote the design of softer and
more forgiving car fronts.
Crash rating for pedestrian protection has also
been strongly promoted notably by the European New
Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP).
A series of tests replicate impacts involving child and
adult pedestrians where impacts occur at 40kph
(25mph). Impact sites are then assessed and the
protection offered is rated as fair, marginal or poor.
16.
17. In April 2016 UN General Assembly adopted resolution (A/Res/70/260)
which encourages Member States to adopt:
Policies and measures to implement United Nations vehicle safety
regulations or equivalent national standards to ensure that all new
motor vehicles, meet applicable minimum regulations for occupant
and other road users protection, with seat belts, air bags and active
safety systems as standard.
The World Health Organization has also just released the Save LIVES
policy package that includes recommendations for UN Member States
on vehicle safety that are fully aligned with Global NCAP’s Road Map.
Michael Bloomberg, WHO Ambassador for NCD’s, is calling on vehicle
manufacturers to apply voluntarily the UN minimum crash test
standards. Jean Todt, UN Special Envoy for Road Safety, is also
advocating an industry self commitment to safer vehicles.
UN Mandate for Safer Cars 2020 – Time for Action
18. • Implement Global NCAPs Road Map recommendations
such as 100% global new car penetration of ESC with
further incentive & regulatory actions required in
emerging markets.
• Promote Autonomous Emergency Braking, Intelligent
Speed Adaption, and Motorcycle Anti-Lock Brakes
through a combination of incentive & regulatory action.
• Encourage Fleet managers to choose ‘five star’ safety
rated vehicles and act as catalyst for fitment of best
available technologies.
• Encourage innovation in Autonomous Vehicles through
an enabling regulatory environment justified with
evidence based research and independent validation to
promote user acceptability
Agenda 2030 – What Are the Vehicle Safety Priorities?
19. Technology Innovation Cycle – Overcoming Market Failure
Innovative safety systems are initially deployed in high end
vehicle classes where profit margins are largest. Availability
gradually extends to mid range vehicles but then fitment
rates tend to stall because price sensitivity deters OEMs
from fitting systems to smaller vehicle classes where
margins are tightest.
This is a market failure preventing standardisation which is
a clear public interest. To overcome market failure, policy
options for 100% fitment include:
• Voluntary OEM agreement for 100% fitment
• Mandatory requirement through rule making
• Fiscal incentives
Positive outcome of intervention is maximisation of safety
benefit and reduced unit costs due to economies of scale
especially with international harmonisation in an era of
global platforms.
21. Proposed New EU Regulatory Action on Vehicle Safety

safety-regulation-and-pedestrian-safety-regulation_en
23. Autonomous Cars and Zero Fatalities…Beyond the Hype
Autonomous Vehicles (AV) will have zero positive impact on
road injury prevention by 2030. There are still major issues with
software, consumer acceptance, cyber security, regulatory
approvals, transition periods, etc.
There is a real risk that ‘hype’ about the safety impact of self
driving cars will divert attention from technologies with the best
potential to achieve road injury reduction to 2030 and beyond.
These are:
• Electronic Stability Control (in emerging markets)
• Autonomous Emergency Braking Systems
• Intelligent Speed Assistance
The policy priority now should be to accelerate fitment of these
available driver assistance systems to reverse the rising level of
fatalities. These technologies are building blocks towards more
autonomous vehicles and will build consumer confidence.
24. Don’t be Distracted by Silver Bullet Syndrome
Waiting for driverless cars is like hoping for a perfect
vaccine to eliminate a road death epidemic that we can
already control with known treatments.
So we must stop magical thinking leading to ‘business
as usual’ which would by 2030 would cause:
• 374,000 extra deaths in the USA
• 237,000 extra deaths in the EU
• 17,900 extra deaths in the UK
To avoid this preventable tragedy we need accelerated
fitment of life saving technologies that are already
available, effective, and affordable… used in road
environments that are more forgiving, self explaining
and self enforcing. All of which would make life easier
for driver less cars when they eventually arrive…
That is the Road to Zero Fatalities!
