Abstract

A system for determining risk associated with a driver, the system comprising a receiver, configured to receive information associated with telematics data; a processor further configured to determine, based at least in part on the telematics data, that a vehicle has reached a destination, a length of time spent at the destination and a times of day during which the vehicle is at the destination; the processor configured to determine a direct exposure rating based on at least the determined destination, the length of time spent at the destination, and the times of day during which the vehicle is at the location; the processor further configured to adjust an insurance pricing information based on the direct exposure rating; and a transmitter configured to transmit the adjusted pricing information to a user device.

Claims

1. A system for determining insurance risk associated with a vehicle, the system comprising:

a receiver, configured to receive information associated with telematics data related to the vehicle;

a processor configured to determine, based at least in part on the telematics data, that the vehicle has reached a destination, a length of time spent at the destination and a time of day during which the vehicle is at a location;

the processor further configured to determine a direct exposure rating for the vehicle based on at least a determined destination, the length of time spent at the destination, and the time of day during which the vehicle is at the location;

the processor further configured to adjust an insurance pricing information related to the vehicle based on the direct exposure rating; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the adjusted pricing information to a user device, user transmission device or web server.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the direct exposure rating is based at least in part on a location risk factor associated with the destination.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the location risk factor is based at least in part on a number of claims filed in a predetermined proximity of the location.

4. The system of claim 2, wherein the location risk factor is based on a concentration of uninsured drivers located within a predetermined proximity of the destination.

5. The system of claim 2, wherein the location risk factor is based on a population density within a predetermined proximity of the destination.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to adjust the pricing information based on an indirect exposure rating.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the indirect exposure rating is based at least in part on a behavior risk factor associated with the destination.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the behavior risk factor is a proximity of the destination to a library.

9. The system of claim 7, wherein the behavior risk factor is a proximity of the destination to a school.

10. The system of claim 7, wherein the behavior risk factor is a proximity of the destination to a sporting venue.

19. The system of claim 1, wherein the direct exposure rating is based at least in part on a location risk factor associated with the destination.

20. The system of claim 1, wherein the indirect exposure rating is based at least in part on a behavior risk factor associated with the destination.

11. A computer based method for determining insurance pricing information associated with a vehicle, the method comprising:

receiving, by a receiver, information associated with telematics data related to the vehicle;

determining, by a processor, based at least in part on the telematics data, that the vehicle has reached a destination, a length of time spent at the destination and times of day during which the vehicle is at a location;

determining, by the processor, a direct exposure rating based on at least the determined destination, the length of time spent at the destination, and the times of day during which the vehicle is at the location;

adjusting, by the processor, insurance pricing information associated with the vehicle based on the direct exposure rating; and

transmitting, by a transmitter, the adjusted pricing information to a user device, user transmission device or web server.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the adjusted pricing information includes an updated insurance rate.

13. The method of claim 11 wherein the adjusted pricing information is a discount or surcharge.

14. The method of claim 11, further comprising displaying, by a display associated with the user device, the adjusted pricing information.

15. The method of claim 11, further comprising, adjusting the pricing information at a renewal period of an insurance policy.

16. The method of claim 11, further comprising based at least in part on an indirect exposure rating.

17. The method of claim 11, further comprising, determining, by the processor whether a vehicle is in a garage or outdoors.

18. A system for determining insurance pricing information associated with a vehicle, the system comprising:

a receiver, configured to receive information associated with telematics data related to the vehicle;

a processor configured to determine, based at least in part on the telematics data, a direct exposure rating for the vehicle based on at least the determined destination and the length of time spent at the destination;

the processor further configured to determine, based at least in part on the telematics data, an indirect exposure rating for the vehicle based on at least the determined destination and the length of time spent at the destination; and

the processor further configured to adjust an insurance pricing information related to the vehicle based on the direct and indirect exposure rating.
