  • Patent number: 8165907
    Abstract: A device and a method for automated optimization of the service life of technical facilities and/or risk determination of technical facilities. Facility data is captured by a capture module of the optimization device and facility risks are optimized by an evaluation module of the optimization device based on the facility data. At least one risk analysis value for automated risk management and/or facility optimization value for automated optimization of at least one protection device or minimization of a danger potential of the technical facility are determined by corresponding risk elements and/or protection elements.

  • Publication number: 20090198523
    Abstract: In a computer system and computer implemented method for determining an insurance rate for terrorism-related property insurance, one or more industry classification attributes, indicative of an industry segment associated with the property, are selected. A basic rate is determined from rate values assigned to the selected industry classification attributes. One or more target classification attributes, indicative of the property's attractiveness as a target for terrorism, are also selected. An aggravating rate is determined from rate values assigned to the selected target classification attributes. The insurance rate is determined from the basic rate and the aggravating rate. The assignment of insurance rates to a property based on the selection of target classification attributes for the property makes it possible to include the risk of a terrorist attack in the rating process, without having to determine probability distributions of terrorist attacks or estimate expected loss caused by terrorist attacks.
