  • Publication number: 20070027726
    Abstract: The monitored use of a vehicle provides accurate and reliable data that can be used to determine the insurable risk of a vehicle operator. What is disclosed is a system and method for monitoring vehicle operation and using the collected data to calculate a driver score. The driver score can then be applied to ascertain the risk of insuring a particular driver, as well as being used as a tool for defining or adjusting the terms of an insurance policy for an insured driver. The collection of data such as the times the vehicle is operated, the locations the vehicle is operated and the speeds or other characteristics of how the vehicle is operated can all be used to calculate the driver score. By installing a vehicle monitor within a vehicle and extracting this or similar data, more accurate and profitable insurance policies can be developed.
