TripRank distills each trip into three numbers, all derived from the recorded trace rather than opinion. Drive Score summarizes pace, control, and consistency. Smoothness Score measures how progressive your inputs were. Ice Veins Score reads composure under load — braking, commitment, recovery.
-
Drive Score
One number for the trip: pace, control, and consistency weighed together.
-
Smoothness Score
Rate of change of G — the difference between building into a corner and stabbing at it.
-
Ice Veins Score
Composure under load, with Apple Watch heart rate as a signal when available.
Scores that mean something
Two drivers can hit the same 0.9G apex and score very differently — one built to it over half a second of steady input, the other snapped into it in a tenth. The scores exist to surface that difference, drive after drive, so improvement is measurable instead of felt.
What actually moves the number
None of the three scores reward raw speed. Drive Score responds to consistency of pace and cleanliness of execution; Smoothness responds to how progressively load builds and releases; Ice Veins responds to composure — braking that is committed rather than panicked, corrections that are small rather than sawing. Driving faster sloppily moves all three the wrong way, which is exactly the point.
Using the scores to actually improve
- Compare like with like. The same commute scored across two weeks is a signal; two different roads compared once is noise.
- Watch Smoothness first. It responds fastest to deliberate technique changes — earlier, gentler brake application shows up within days.
- Pair Ice Veins with heart rate. With Apple Watch connected, composure gets a physiological second opinion.
