Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method risk for prediction of risk profile, health status, and insurance premium policy for parts of a vehicle. The system involves sensors configured with parts of the vehicle to monitor their condition. The system allows users to capture pictures of the parts using their mobile devices. The system includes a server configured with artificial intelligence, which receives the sensor data and images of the parts of the vehicle and processes the data and image to predict the risk profile and health condition of the corresponding parts of the vehicle. Further, based on the predicted risk profile and health condition, the server determines an insurance premium policy for the vehicle. Furthermore, the system alerts and notifies the user on their mobile devices about the predicted risk profile and health condition, and the suggested insurance policy premium.
Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of vehicular health monitoring systems and insurance policy generation systems. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to artificial intelligence and Internet of Things (IoT) based system and method for prediction of condition and risk profile of various parts of a vehicle, and correspondingly generating an insurance policy.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Insurance ensures peace of mind of people or customer to some extent during an event of loss or theft of articles, accidents, poor medical conditions, or loss of life. When a person or customer insures his/her health, life, home or other property, and vehicle, the insurance company provides an insurance amount for the insured article or the person. Health and life insurance are not mandatory but are subject to a person’s requirement. However, vehicle insurance is mandatory and recommended for every vehicle owner as per government norms, and also protecting the owner from monetary loss after an accident.
[0004] Customers are required to pay a certain amount of premium for the vehicle annually, and they receive the insurance benefits when needed. Aside from the sharp turn, the owner of the vehicle can imagine one’s valuable passion in encountering a road accident when the vehicle and/or the owner encounter injuries and damage. The owner may be reimbursed for any cost of repairs as the insurance provider promises to compensate for the loss. But owners are required to pay for the vehicle insurance in advance to claim for the insurance when required.
[0005] In India, vehicle insurance policy types are of two types, namely, third-party liability insurance and comprehensive insurance. Third-party liability insurance offers a basic cover; it protects against damages caused to the third-party bodily injuries and damages to their vehicle. A comprehensive two-wheeler insurance policy covers damage caused to third-party as well as own damage. Own damage incidents could be natural calamities, burglary, theft, riots or terrorist activity, or damage caused during travel. The comprehensive vehicle policy does not offer protection if there is a loss of personal belongings, accidental loss, or damage to the vehicle if the person is under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
[0006] In a traditional vehicle insurance reimbursement claim, customers or owners have to initially accept the repair costs of the vehicle from their pocket and then register for the insurance claim. Then, the insurance company inspects the original repair bill, receipt, policy document, RC, and other supporting documents, and finally reimburses the paid amount to the beneficiary. However, for instances when there is an accident, and there is no money in the pocket of the owner of the vehicle, the owner might be subjected to extreme stress.
[0007] Therefore, there is a need in the art to implement the above concepts in an efficient, cost-effective, and feasible way, by providing a platform that can be implemented in a vehicle, to allow users as well as an insurance company to remotely determine of condition and risk profile of various parts of the vehicle, so that the insurance company can correspondingly generate an insurance policy, and can reimburse the insurance amount to the users when required.
