Traffic and navigation app company Waze recently conducted a survey on the driving experience of 50 million users in 32 countries and 167 metro areas to create the world’s first “Driver Satisfaction Index.” Waze used a single numerical score from satisfying (10) to miserable (1) to rate each area.
The Waze Driver Satisfaction Index is based on six key factors:
- Traffic Level by frequency and severity of traffic jams
- Road quality and infrastructure
- Driver safety based on accidents, road hazards and weather
- Driver services like access to gas stations and easy parking
- Socio-Economic factors* including access to cars and impact of gas prices
- “Wazeyness,” the level of helpfulness and happiness within the Waze community
