How to increase safety of rides on Vehicle sharing and Rental platforms

ATOM Mobility is happy to introduce the Reaction test - to promote safer rides and prevent drunk driving or driving in poor physical condition.

This feature challenges users to complete a reaction test before starting a ride to ensure they are fit to operate the vehicle.


You can manage the Reaction Test under Dashboard > More > Settings > Reaction test.

When creating a reaction test, you can specify:
- Title;
- Pass time (e.g., an F1 driver’s reaction time is around 150ms, while the average human reacts to a red light within 300-400ms);

- Timing settings to determine when the test will be prompted to riders.
- You can assign the reaction test to one or more vehicle models, allowing for flexible configuration.

The History tab tracks the history of all reaction tests and user attempts, providing insights into who took the test, when, and what the results were.

How it works from user's side

Riders will have 3 attempts to tap the screen as fast as possible when a red light appears.
- If the rider’s reaction time is below the set pass time, the test is passed, and the ride can begin.
- If the rider fails, they will be prohibited from starting the ride and can retry later.
Riders can fail up to 3 times within a 12-hour window.

NB! A passed test is valid for one hour. If a rider starts a new ride after passing the test but within the test’s active time, they will need to retake it. The same rule applies if the rider passes the test but does not start a ride immediately.

There are triggers in OneSignal that the system uses to notify the users of remaining attempts to pass the reaction test in the mobile app:

reaction_test_begin - Called on reaction test screen open when user has at least 1 try left;

reaction_test_failed - Called on reaction test screen open when user has 0 tries left. Not safe to ride.
