Arity SDK

Turn driving behavior data into value for your app, faster

The Arity Software Development Kit (SDK) transforms mobile sensor data into driving behavior insights, helping teams create engaging customer experiences – all without building a telematics platform from scratch. It brings together personalized driving behavior analytics, APIs, and configurable UI components in one mobility intelligence solution.

The problem

There’s more pressure than ever to drive user engagement and increase average revenue per user (ARPU). But how do you separate yourself from a growing crowd of similar experiences and keep users coming back? You need to introduce compelling new features – but without heavy engineering investment.

The Arity SDK enables organizations to translate driving intelligence into personalized safety features and embedded mobile experiences. By transforming everyday trips into integrated features, organizations can support ongoing engagement and expand the value they provide to drivers.

Who this is for

Consumer apps looking to add driving insights and safety features

Consumer apps looking to add personalized offers and rewards

Organizations developing family safety, fleet, or driver wellness solutions

Benefits

Turn everyday driving into timely, personalized insights, such as trip summaries and coaching, that are grounded in real-world driving behavior and designed to encourage continued engagement.

Launch faster

Pre-built UI Kits, APIs, pre-calculated analytics, and event-driven architecture reduce the effort required to launch driving-powered experiences.

Build on a proven mobility platform

The platform is designed to support large-scale processing, approximately 1.7B miles per day and 1.6 thousand trips per second.

Validated crash performance

Arity holds 9 patents for crash detection technology, recorded more than 480,000 crashes detected in 2025, and supports programs that reach approximately 100 million people globally.

Minimize battery impact

Designed for efficient battery use, with observed battery consumption of 3–5% per hour of driving, subject to device, operating system, implementation, and usage conditions.

Improve over time

Through OTA updates, organizations gain access to ongoing event and model improvements rather than relying solely on static SDK functionality.

Privacy-aware data practices

Support driving behavior insights with user consent flows, data minimization practices, and transparent controls designed to help build trust.

Features

Trip insights and driving behaviors

Capture and analyze real-world driving activity using mobile-device sensors. The Arity SDK processes trips and identifies driving events such as distraction, hard braking, and lateral acceleration, giving teams access to the behavioral signals needed to power rewards, coaching, safety, and engagement experiences.

User activity

User Activity gives apps access to trends, historical behavior, and comparative driving metrics through APIs instead of building those calculations from scratch. Insights can be benchmarked against the broader app population or drivers in a specific geography, enabling comparisons between individual drivers and relevant peer groups.

Crash Detection 

Automatically detect crashes and help connect users with emergency assistance, notify loved ones, or initiate the insurance claims process.

Predictive Mobility

Understand where users routinely travel and generate insights based on mobility patterns. Predictive Mobility can help organizations identify meaningful destinations, understand travel behavior, and support more relevant engagement and targeting strategies.

Daily Driver Pulse

Turn everyday driving into personalized engagement opportunities, starting from the first trip. Daily Driver Pulse delivers trip-level insights that can be surfaced through notifications, summaries, incentives, and rewards programs to help create ongoing user engagement.

Arity UI kits

Launch mobility experiences faster using pre-built, configurable UI components for iOS and Android. Arity UI Kits help reduce implementation effort while providing consistent user experiences with flexibility for custom branding.

How it works

The Arity SDK is designed to transform raw mobility signals into production-ready experiences.

Technical overview

Using inputs from mobile sensors such as accelerometers, barometers, and magnetometers, the SDK detects trips and identifies driving behaviors as they happen.
These behaviors are converted into structured events that can be consumed by applications through APIs, analytics services, and configurable UI components.
The result is a scalable foundation for building safety, coaching, rewards, and personalization experiences without requiring organizations to develop their own telematics platform.

Edge-based event detection

As users drive, the Arity SDK analyzes mobile sensor inputs and identifies driving events such as crashes, speeding, hard braking, distraction, and other driving behaviors.
These events form the foundation for higher-level capabilities including Arity Crash Detection, Driving Scores, Daily Driver Pulse, personalized engagement programs, and behavioral analytics.
The SDK's event-driven architecture allows developers to build multiple experiences from the same underlying data source.

Advanced Model Deployment (AMD)

The driving events generated by the Arity SDK are managed through Advanced Model Deployment (AMD), Arity's over-the-air delivery framework for event and model enhancements.
AMD enables Arity to continuously refine the models responsible for detecting driving behaviors and generating insights.
As new capabilities become available or existing models improve, organizations can incorporate these improvements without repeatedly rebuilding large portions of their applications.
The result is a mobility platform that continues to evolve over time while reducing operational burden on development teams.

Frequently asked questions

Which platforms does the Arity SDK support?

The Arity SDK supports iOS, Android, and React Native.

What data powers the Arity SDK’s driving insights?

Arity’s driving insights are powered by one of the world’s largest telematics datasets, including 20+ trillion data points, 3+ trillion driving miles collected, and data from 50M drivers representing 20% of the US driving population. This real-world driving data represents diverse conditions, roadways, demographics, and vehicle types.

How long has Arity’s SDK been on the market?

Our SDK has been in-market since 2018 and is continually refined through ongoing platform and model updates.

What is the track record for Crash Detection?

Arity has 9 patents for its Crash Detection technology, detected over 480K crashes in 2025 alone, helps protect~90M people worldwide, and enables real-world feedback loops with users to continuously refine performance.

How does the Arity SDK handle privacy?

The SDK is built with privacy-by-design principles and employs encryption, data minimization, and transparent user controls. See our Privacy Center for more details.

How much battery does the Arity SDK consume?

The SDK is designed for efficient battery use, with an observed consumption of 3–5% per driving hour, subject to device, operating system, implementation, and usage conditions.

How quickly can I start generating insights with the Arity SDK?

Product teams can generate meaningful insights after just one drive. Unlike traditional telematics approaches that may require hardware installation and longer data-collection periods, the Arity SDK can deliver value from the first trip and continue enriching insights with each subsequent drive the user takes.

Is the Arity SDK a white-labeled solution?

No, the SDK is integrated directly into your app, giving you control of the user experience and branding. For faster implementation, Arity UI Kits provide pre-built engineering and UI components so you can offer production-ready experiences quickly.
