Machine-vision-based electronic automobile insurance fee meter
The present invention provides a machine-vision-based electronic automobile insurance fee meter. The machine-vision-based electronic automobile insurance fee meter can capture a lane departure behavior, and record a distance and duration of a lane departure in a memory module; also can capture a following-too-close behavior, and record a distance and duration of dangerous following in the memory module; and also can calculate a journey-based mileage insurance fee, a total mileage insurance fee P being a product of a mileage L of a journey, a unit mileage (per kilometer) insurance rate R.sub.km and a safety floating factor f. The present technical solution charges the insurance fee according to the actual driving mileage, makes the charging of the insurance fee fairer and more reasonable, and encourages safe driving and driving less; and also can identify the most important dangerous driving risks including following-too-close and lane departure, making the pricing of the insurance fee more accurate and reasonable.

Systems and methods for adjusting premium rate based on usage
A system includes a vehicle system including one or more sensors that to monitor one or more properties related to an operation of a vehicle. The system also includes a processor that receives expected vehicle usage information from an applicant, a database, publicly available sources, or the like and receive a set of data including the one or more properties from the vehicle system. The set of data is associated with the expected vehicle usage information. The processor may then determine a premium base rate based at least in part on the set of data and a risk associated with the applicant and determine a vehicle rate based at least in part of the set of data and a risk associated with the vehicle. The processor may then display a visualization including the premium base rate and the vehicle rate on a display.
MANAGEMENT OF VEHICLE AND HIRED DRIVER
The systems and methods provided herein are directed to a system for managing an arrangement between a vehicle owner and a non-owner driver. Between rides in which the driver operates the vehicle on behalf of the owner, the driver is authorized by the owner to take hired rides paid for by third parties.
