Intelligent risk ratings that improve road safety
Kainos worked with DVSA to pioneer a predictive analytics tool which has revolutionised the process for identifying fraud and inadequate standards. This machine learning (ML) tool enables DVSA to identify abnormal MOT testing behavioural patterns, effectively target enforcement and inspection activities, and ultimately improve Britain’s road safety.
The project, an excellent example of private and public-sector collaboration, highlights the benefits of leveraging ML techniques to achieve substantial business change and organisational strategic objectives; achievements a manual approach would not have accomplished.
“We approached Kainos with the idea of using AI to automatically extract the information we needed from KIIDs. Kainos’ AI team had fantastic experience with document analysis and NLP and they delivered the project perfectly!”

“DVSA has built up a strong collaborative working relationship with Kainos, who consistently deliver a high level of service and professionalism. I have first-hand experience of this, working closely with Kainos colleagues on the Driving Examiner Service project, which has revolutionised the way driving tests are conducted for the entire driving examiner workforce."

We are very excited to be working with Kainos.”
