[Asia Economy Reporter Seongpil Cho] The Korea Road Traffic Authority announced on the 12th that it will jointly hold the "2nd Best Green Driver Competition" with the digital insurtech solution startup CARVI.

The Best Green Driver Competition is a contest that selects the best drivers of special transportation vehicles (call taxis for the disabled) who practice eco-friendly and safe driving using artificial intelligence (AI) technology. This year, the competition will be held from the 25th of this month to the 6th of next month. It targets 25 local government-affiliated transportation support centers for vulnerable groups, including 22 institutions in the Gyeonggi region such as Goyang, Bucheon, and Suwon, and 3 institutions in the Gangwon region such as Gangneung and Pyeongchang.

Participating drivers will install CARVI's "AI Safe Driving Solution" in their vehicles and drive more than 200 km over two weeks to have their driving habits evaluated. The AI Safe Driving Solution uses video recognition technology to collect and analyze driving habit data. It calculates a safe driving score based on criteria such as unauthorized lane departure, speeding, and sudden braking. The Authority will select a total of eight drivers, including one top driver, by combining the safe driving score with economic driving scores such as fuel efficiency indices.
