  • Patent number: 10296981
    Abstract: Proposed is a system and a method for a parametric risk transfer system based on automated location-dependent probabilistic tropical storm risk and storm impact forecast, wherein weather measuring parameters of weather events are measured by means of a plurality of delocalized distributed weather flow stations and transmitted to a central system, and wherein the measured weather measuring parameters at least comprise measuring parameters of wind speed and/or maximum wind speed within a predefined time frame. A spatial high-resolution grid comprising grid cells is generated over a geographical area of interest, and a wind field profile is dynamically generated, wherein by triggering an indexed wind field parameter of the wind field profile exceeding a predefined trigger, an output activation signal is generated based on the wind field parameter and transmitted to an associated activation device, wherein the operation of the activation device is steered by the transmitted output activation signal.

  • Publication number: 20190102840
    Abstract: An electronic, real-time system performs maneuver recognition of vehicles based on dynamically measured telematics data, particularly the sensory data of smartphone sensors, and more particularly data from the accelerometer sensor and the global positioning system (GPS) sensor and/or the gyroscope sensor of a smartphone. The axes of the smartphone may be moving independently relative to the axes of the vehicle and thus do not need to be aligned with the axes of the vehicle. Driver behaviors and operational parameters are automatically measured and discriminated, based on automatically individuated and measured driver maneuvers within various measured to vehicle trajectories, and an output signal is generated based upon derived risk measure parameters and/or crash attitude measure parameters.

  • Publication number: 20190005585
    Abstract: There is provided an automated, reactive flight delay risk-transfer system and method related to airspace risks for risk sharing of a variable number of risk-exposed units by pooling resources of the units and by providing a self-sufficient risk-transfer system based on the pooled resources by a resource-pooling system associated with the risk-transfer system, where an automated transfer of risk exposure associated with the units is provided by an automated flight delay insurance system including a capturing means to receive transmitted air data parameters of aircraft ground-based flight controllers. A trigger module dynamically triggers filtered flight time parameters via a data flow pathway of the controllers by means of a predefined time-delay threshold value, where in case of triggering of an excess of the value, operational parameters of the triggered flight including delay parameters and identification are captured and losses associated with the delay are covered by a parametric payment transfer.

  • Patent number: 10139796
    Abstract: A controller and method for state-transition-based processing of objects following a state-structured process flow with plural process states. For each process state, one or more tasks are selected to process a transition of a selected object from one process state to a subsequent process state. State parameters of the object are captured. The current process state of the object is determined based on the captured state parameters. The tasks are generated for a specific process state in dependence on assigned task parameters of a process task. Operating tags are expendably assigned to a process task by an assigner unit or assignee unit, the operating tags including dynamically alterable operating parameters adding operational constraints to processing the process task. The state-structured process flow is dynamically generated and processed by triggering defined threshold and/or trigger values and/or steering the processing of the process tasks based on the operating parameters of the operating-tags.

  • Patent number: 10121193
    Abstract: A method for processing a life insurance facultative case summary submission over a network between a ceding company and a reinsurer. Initially, a facultative case summary submission is received by the reinsurer from the ceding company via the network. Thereafter, a facultative decision is rendered by the reinsurer based on the received facultative case summary submission. Because the information is summarized and sent electronically or via voice message, less information is processed in a faster period of time thereby rendering quicker decisions than when the complete case history is submitted to the reinsurer for review.

  • Publication number: 20180276759
    Abstract: Proposed is an adaptive, layered, automated risk-transfer system and method thereof, with a self-optimizing, increased leveraged capacity and enhanced drop-down cover structure with a plurality of adjustable risk-transfer layers. If a triggered risk-event is assignable to either of the top risk-transfer layer or the bottom risk-transfer layer of the drop-down cover structure, a shared exhaustion factor is generated based on the assigned risk-transfer layer and based on a cover of the loss associated with the triggered risk event. The shared exhaustion factor is applied mutually to both layers by the system eroding both layers by the same exhaustion factor. The top layer and the bottom layer are reinstatable by a corresponding generated normalized reinstatement parameter values normalized over both layers and based on a thus provided shared limit and the erosion of the top layer and the bottom layer.

  • Publication number: 20180189889
    Abstract: Proposed is an operationally independent clash loss event triggering risk transfer system and a method for risk sharing for a variable number of risk exposure components through the provision of independent risk protection for the risk exposure components by means of a risk transfer structure implemented by circuitry, which captures risk transfers of the exposure to multiple retentions of the components that may occur when two or more of the associated risk exposure components suffer a loss from the occurrence of the same risk event. The system triggers clash loss events simultaneously impacting various layers an/or segments of the risk transfer structure. Furthermore, an event-driven switching device may be deployed for the complementary switching of two coupled, autonomously operated resource-pooling systems, where the operation of the systems remains stable under particularly large losses triggered by the same measurement of a risk event.

    Abstract: An automated, inter-arrival-time-based system and method for automated prediction and exposure-signaling of associated, catastrophic risk-event driven or triggered risk-transfer systems, for low frequency catastrophic or operational risk events and automated risk-transfer. Risk-events are measured and assigned to a historic hazard set comprising event parameters for each assigned risk-event. Risk-exposed units and/or the automated risk-transfer systems are provided with corresponding risk-transfer parameters for automated risk-transfer and/or automated risk-event cover. An event loss set is based on the measured frequencies with associated losses of said risk-events of the hazard set, each of said risk-events creating a set specific loss. Time-stamps, based on an automatically and/or dynamically estimated distribution of corresponding inter-arrival times parameters, capture a waiting time between consecutive events of the period loss set.
