  • Patent number: 11683347
    Abstract: Techniques are described for adjusting policy characteristics based on a determined similarity between routes. A similarity metric may be determined indicating the similarity between a first route followed by a vehicle and/or driver and a second (e.g., previous) route followed by the vehicle and/or driver. A similarity metric may indicate the similarity in movements, and changes in movement, exhibited by the vehicle on the routes. The similarity metric may be determined through analysis of real time data collected by in-vehicle sensor(s), mobile user device(s), external sensors or other data sources. Based on the similarity metric, a premium, a deductible, a price, or other characteristic(s) of a policy may be determined. In some examples, policy characteristics may be adjusted (e.g., in real time) based on the analysis according to changing risk conditions if a driver is following routes that are dissimilar from typical routes.

  • Patent number: 11436683
    Abstract: A system includes a monitoring device coupled to a vehicle. The monitoring device includes a processor. The monitoring device also includes an output interface coupled to the processor that communicates information to a driver of the vehicle. The monitoring device further includes a communication interface coupled to the processor. The processor receives, via the communication interface, sensor information relating to operating the vehicle. The processor also receives, via the communication interface, a risk factor relating to operating the vehicle based at least in part on the sensor information. The processor further outputs, via the output interface, an adjustment to an insurance premium of the driver, an adjustment to an insurance deductible of the driver, or a payment amount of the driver, based at least in part on the risk factor.

  • Patent number: 11338815
    Abstract: A system and process for using telematics data to determine a vehicle operator. Telematics data is captured from a telematics device which retrieves data from a vehicle associated with a plurality of vehicle operators. A driver electronic signature is determined from the captured telematics data and then compared to determined driver signatures stored in memory and associated with the vehicle from which the telematics data is captured. A vehicle operator is then determined from comparing the determined driver signature with driver signatures stored in memory.

  • Patent number: 10304141
    Abstract: A method or system may comprise generating a plurality of routes to a destination of a vehicle. Traversal, by the vehicle, of a route may be determined by a telematics device. The telematics vehicle may be configured to monitor a location of the vehicle and motion of the vehicle. The telematics device may be configured to generate data associated with the traversal of the route, the location of the vehicle, or the motion of the vehicle. Driving behavior of the vehicle may be determined, based at least on the data. A rating associated with the vehicle or the traversal of the route may be determined, based at least on the driving behavior. A risk score may be determined for the route. The rating may be determined, based at least on the risk score. The rating may be determined, based at least on the driving behavior.
