SECTION C – DESCRIPTION, SPECIFICATION, WORK STATEMENT

STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1 Introduction/Background

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is an agency of the U.S.

Department of Transportation (DOT). NHTSA’s mission is to save lives, prevent injuries and reduce traffic-related health care and other economic costs. The agency develops, promotes and implements effective educational, engineering and enforcement programs with the goal of ending preventable tragedies and reducing economic costs associated with vehicle use and highway travel. NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) is responsible for identifying vehicle safety defects. This is done by analyzing data received from numerous sources including consumer complaints, tips and referrals, and manufacturer submitted data such as warranty claims, death and injury reports, and manufacturer communications and technical service bulletins.

ODI is seeking a complex predictive analytics capability or service to provide vehicle repair data, with predictive capabilities, to help support its investigation program. Predictive analytics is the practice of extracting information from existing data sets in order to determine patterns and predict future outcomes and trends. At present, ODI primarily receives data from the public, in the form of owner complaints, as well as vehicle manufacturers, in the form of Early Warning (EWR) data. While both complaint data and EWR data are valuable, ODI also has a need for vehicle repair data which exist outside the realm of the vehicle manufacturers and is currently un-reported to ODI (e.g. non-warranty dealer repairs, service center repairs, etc.). We Predict works primarily with global car manufacturers and suppliers, predicting warranty failure rates and costs. The company’s complex analytics software uses mathematical and statistical principles, supported by data techniques, to provide valuable information to save customers time and money. We Predict offers hyper-vertically focused predictive analytics (as in the automotive market), as a service. This service is obtained through the use of secure desktop web browsers via the Internet. ODI aims to utilize We Predict’s, Deepview application service to better learn of emerging trends in vehicle repair data and spot potential defects more quickly.

• Complex predictive analysis for the potential growth of vehicle repairs, by component and provide supportive reporting tools (e.g. interactive graphs, filters, charts, etc.) to support that data;

• On-demand, performance forecasts;

Coordinated monthly conference calls and make available its data science experts to provide support to ODI.

C.3 Purpose
