SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMPUTING AND SCORING THE COMPLEXITY OF A VEHICLE TRIP USING GEO-SPATIAL INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A system for pricing an insurance premium based on route complexity, the system comprising:
- a computer memory for storing telematics data received from a sensor within a vehicle during at least one trip, the telematics data comprising at least one of geo-position information of the vehicle and vehicle kinematics data; and
a processor in communication with the memory, wherein the processor is configured for;
retrieving information related to an automobile insurance policy;
retrieving at least a portion of the stored telematics data from the computer memory;
computing a complexity score of the at least one trip based on at least a two dimensional representation of the route traversed by the vehicle during the trip derived from the retrieved telematics data;
storing the computed complexity score;
calculating a price adjustment for a premium for the automobile insurance policy based on the retrieved information related to the policy and the complexity score of the at least one trip;
applying the price adjustment to the insurance premium; and
outputting the adjusted price for the premium for the automobile insurance policy.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for pricing an insurance premium based on route complexity. The system includes a computer memory and a processor in communication with the computer memory. The computer memory stores telematics data received from a sensor within a vehicle. The telematics data includes at least one of geo-position information of the vehicle and vehicle kinematics data. The processor is configured to compute a complexity score of the trip based on the telematics data. The processor is also configured to determine a price for automobile insurance for the driver based on the complexity score of the at least one trip.
