LISBON, Portugal, July 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Brisa, the largest road operator in Portugal and Fidelidade, the largest insurance company in Portugal, are proud to announce a joint venture in advanced telematics-based insurance products. Via Verde customers in Portugal will benefit from usage-based insurance (UBI) solutions.
Drivers that opt into the Smart Drive app will be evaluated and scored based upon driving behaviors, fatigue, compliance with speed limits, and mobile use. At the conclusion of each trip, Smart Drive will recommend tips to reduce personal costs and improve driving behavior. In an effort to improve road safety, favorable drivers will be rewarded with discounted premiums through Fidelidade Car Insurance and toll credits through Via Verde.
Brisa will use A-to-Be MoveBeyond™ to administer the project's mobility backoffice. MoveBeyond™ is the transportation industry's leading solution capable of integrating with external systems while simultaneously preserving sensitive service provider information and delivering a seamless user experience. A-to-Be MoveBeyond™ has successfully administered tolling and road usage charge (RUC) backoffice solutions in four states across the United States.
"A-to-Be delivers over 30 years of innovative tolling solutions designed with the end-user in mind. Its technology offers the most efficient, accurate and secure operations with a proven track record for success across a wealth of mobility services. We are proud to enter the market for usage-based insurance solutions with such an innovative partner," says Filipe Coelho, Project Manager at Brisa.
Subject to a 20 trip, 300-mile trial period, Smart Drive users are eligible for discounts of up to 15 percent on car insurance through Fidelidade. The better the score, the greater the discount. Opt-in drivers also benefit from Via Verde toll credits worth 10 percent of their insurance premium.
