Innovation using analytics and data science heralds new era in proactive protection

LONDON, Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Entain, the leading global sports betting and gaming entertainment operator with brands including Ladbrokes and bwin, has completed the initial stage of its pioneering preventative approach to customer protection, known as ARC (Advanced Protection and Care). As a first outcome the company has significantly extended behavioral indicators used to identify players potentially at risk and is now developing models using more than three times the previous number.

Entain believes ARC will provide unprecedented safeguards for customers of its online sports betting and gaming brands by minimising problems before they arise. This promises to revolutionise conventional thinking around responsible gaming and usher in a new era of more personalised and proactive, technology-driven player protection, widely applicable across many forms of online sports betting and gaming entertainment.

«ARC is fundamental to our future strategy for sustainability and growth,» said Jette Nygaard-Andersen, Chief Executive of Entain. «We are putting customers first, both by prioritizing their safety through our use of technology to limit individual exposure to risk, whilst also enhancing their experience across all our brands. We will do this not only in our traditional markets of sports betting and gaming, but also as we grow into new areas, like videogaming and esports as a global entertainment company.»  

Since 2018 Entain has monitored customers using markers of protection based on things such as frequency of play, changes in spend patterns and length of time of online play. The new markers being trialed include additional checks on, for example, fluctuations in stake levels, erratic play during a single session and signs that a player might be chasing losses. These were identified as potential danger signs by world-leading academics and gambling support groups taking part in scientific workshops held by Entain earlier this year.

Data scientists at the company are now building models to test the extended range of new behavioral indicators in real situations, seeking to identify customers who, according to the research, may show signs of potential problems as well as people exhibiting intermittent signs of being at potential risk. Eventually, Entain hopes to offer every customer both a personalised playing experience and protection tailored to their individual risk profile.

«We’re using our technology, leveraging our data and behavioral science, to deliver a fundamental shift in customer care,» said Peter Marcus, Entain Group Operations Director, who is overseeing the development of ARC. «The real innovation is to apply hyper-personalisation, to customer protection – using insight into the individual behaviors of customers to manage their exposure to risk in real time.»

Data from the new models is to be assessed prior to further development of ARC in the coming months. Entain will also seek further input from Harvard Medical School Faculty, Division on Addiction collaborating with Entain on a multi-year research project, Dr Michael Aeur, from the scientific management of the Gambling Research Centre at the University of Hohenheim in Germany and Dr Mark Griffiths, a Distinguished Professor of Behavioral Addiction and Psychology, who all participated in the workshops and contributed expertise to feed into the design of the new system.  

Entain will launch ARC first in the UK in the summer, offering real time online player protection for customers across all its brands and products, and plans to roll it out internationally from later in the year.

OSAKA, Japan, Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Otsuka Ohmi Ceramics Co., Ltd. (https://www.ohmi.co.jp/en/), a subsidiary of Otsuka Holdings Co., Ltd., held a special exhibition titled «Exhibition of Various Expressions — Tour of the world of Japanese beauty with ceramic boards –» at the Otsuka Museum of Art (https://o-museum.or.jp/en/), which is located in Naruto City, Tokushima Prefecture, western Japan, from December 29, 2020, to February 21, 2021.

A total of 11 works, including Japanese art works reproduced on ceramic boards, was exhibited at the Otsuka Museum of Art, which houses full-scale ceramic reproductions of more than 1,000 Western masterpieces.

For the special exhibition, please visit the following video link:
https://videos.kyodonewsprwire.jp/prwfile/release/M105417/202102171146/_prw_PM1fl_HfsvSSlf.mp4

This is a special exhibition that provides an opportunity to deepen understanding by creating new discoveries and sympathies about Japanese culture and the connection between Japanese art and Western art as well as the art history ranging from the prehistoric «Jomon» era to the present.

For the first time, the ceramic board reproduction of Korin Ogata’s «Wind God and Thunder God» and Hoitsu Sakai’s «Summer and Autumn Grasses» were exhibited back to back in a folding-screen style. It is reminiscent of the original appearance that was originally drawn on the front and back of the folding screen. Please take a look at the video.

Pottery is a very strong material as the Jomon pottery of over 1,000 years ago is handed down to the present day. The colors baked at high temperature do not fade, and visitors can also touch and enjoy the texture of the work. Otsuka Ohmi Ceramics will convey art and culture to the future with ceramic boards.

European Rear Autonomous Emergency Braking (R-AEB) Market to 2030: Regulation to Play an Important Role in the Adoption of Technology and Subsequent Market Penetration

DUBLIN, Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «European Rear Autonomous Emergency Braking…

DUBLIN, Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «European Rear Autonomous Emergency Braking (R-AEB) Market, Forecasts to 2030» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

Research and Markets Logo

«European Rear Autonomous Emergency Braking (R-AEB) Market, Forecast to 2030» is to research, analyse, forecast, and provide an overview of the R-AEB trends in Europe and discuss the impact of these trends on the growth and deployment strategies of different OEMs and suppliers in the market. The study analyses various aspects of the market, such as regulations for R-AEB, types of R-AEB systems, market trends and forecasts, and industry growth opportunities.

R-AEB penetration in Europe as of 2019 stood at a meager 7% of the vehicles sold. The solution is expected to penetrate roughly 35.6% of the vehicles by 2030, with the market for it expanding at a CAGR of 23.3% primarily driven by regulatory mandates.

According to accident research conducted by the German Insurance Association up to 17% of collisions involving pedestrians and vehicles, leading to personal injury, occur at the rear side of the car. 70% of the accident victims were elderly or children below the age of 12 and an estimated 1,400 people are seriously injured in such incidences across Europe annually. Another such research conducted by Thatcham Research suggests that 1 in 6 pedestrian collisions are while reversing, typically injuring elderly and children, with the driver rarely braking.

These are some horrifying numbers especially considering the fact that vehicle speeds during reversing are less than 10 kilometres per hour (kph). Owing to the seriousness of the issue, the European New Car Assessment Program (EuroNCAP) has proposed that rear autonomous emergency braking (R-AEB) be introduced in vehicles starting 2020 as test criteria under the Vulnerable Road User (VRU) category.

This marks a shift in focus from the safety of VRUs in front of the vehicle to the safety of all VRUs around the vehicle. The proliferation of this particular function is a necessary building block for the industry to champion the safety of VRUs for the impetus to shift from driver assistance function to fully autonomous vehicles.

Level 4 autonomous parking function, which parks the vehicle by itself without human intervention, is expected to account for roughly 86% of the market by 2030. Systems offering these capabilities are expected to hit the market as soon as 2021 in the premium vehicle segment.

Key Features

The objective of the study is to:

  • Determine the market for R-AEB and the factors affecting it
  • Discuss the current market availability of R-AEB systems – by Overall R-AEB Penetration, OEM Group, and Vehicle Segment
  • Analyse the technology roadmap for rear AEB systems in Europe
  • Predict the future roadmap of OEMs with respect to R-AEB system deployment and the type of system used
  • Identify the capabilities of suppliers catering to the requirements of OEMs

Key Issues Addressed

  • What is the current and future scope of R-AEB applications across the passenger and light commercial vehicle segments in Europe?
  • What are the regulatory changes to EuroNCAP star rating pertaining to R-AEB?
  • What are the OEM strategies for R-AEB deployment in Europe?
  • What are the current and future capabilities of key suppliers offering R-AEB applications?
  • What are the avenues of growth for the R-AEB market in Europe until 2030?

Key Topics Covered:

1. Executive Summary

  • Executive Summary – Highlights

  • Key Trends Impacting R-AEB

CARMEL, Ind., Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — KAR Auction Services, Inc. d/b/a KAR Global (NYSE: KAR), a global vehicle remarketing and technology solutions provider, is combining the company’s TradeRev and BacklotCars platforms into a single digital marketplace. U.S.-based dealers will migrate to BacklotCars, while Canadian dealers will continue operating exclusively on TradeRev. The company is combining the two fast-growing dealer-to-dealer marketplaces in the U.S. to provide sellers access to the largest buyer base possible and give buyers access to greater, more diversified dealer inventory. The company selected BacklotCars based on its accelerated growth and high performance in terms of conversion, price retention and customer satisfaction.

«We’re excited to give U.S. dealers the best of both worlds by combining these platforms into a single, consolidated marketplace,» said Peter Kelly, president of KAR. «Since the acquisition of BacklotCars, we’ve surveyed our dealers and performed extensive analysis to develop the very best solution for our dealers. BacklotCars delivers sellers higher conversion and consistently higher proceeds than a wholesaler, physical auction or other dealer-to-dealer platform. And for buyers, BacklotCars offers fees as low as $100, a fully transparent bidding environment, condition reports based on independent mechanical inspections and a 5-day guarantee on major items.»

The company began simultaneously migrating buyers and sellers onto BacklotCars several weeks ago to ensure the smooth, seamless transition of supply and demand. The combined marketplace now features inventory from thousands of franchise and independent dealers nationwide, and nearly 80% of the inventory is sold to dealers outside of the seller’s local market. Buying dealers also have access to BacklotCars’ integrated «Float» floorplan financing and one-click vehicle logistics and delivery options. And the company has combined sales and operations teams to rapidly onboard and activate new and existing customers and ensure «first week» success for every buyer and seller.

«BacklotCars is all about making wholesale easy so our dealers can be more successful,» said Justin Davis, co-founder and president of BacklotCars. «We’ll inspect and launch your cars from your lot whenever it works for you—no fees, no risk and no hassles, guaranteed. And for buyers, say goodbye to logging in and out of an app all day to keep up with multiple timed auctions. BacklotCars’ bid-ask marketplace lets you browse and buy on your schedule and still closes most deals in under one day.»

Over the next several months, the company will continue to enhance BacklotCars by integrating select features and functionality from TradeRev and leveraging the broad digital marketplace expertise from across KAR. This will include options for utilizing the company’s network of 59 ADESA physical locations for reconditioning, storage, logistics and auction sales.

«Our combination of digital and physical assets is unmatched in the industry and provides dealers with options you can’t get from a digital platform alone,» said Kelly. «We’re excited to introduce these capabilities to BacklotCars’ dealers and continue leveraging our footprint for the benefit of our entire dealer network.»
