Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for estimating slipperiness of a road surface. This estimate may be obtained using an image sensor mounted on a vehicle. The estimated road slipperiness may be utilized when calculating a risk index for the road, or for an area including the road. If a predetermined threshold for slipperiness is exceeded, corrective actions may be taken. For instance, warnings may be generated to human drivers that are in control of driving vehicle, and autonomous vehicles may automatically adjust vehicle speed based upon road slipperiness detected.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for using data collected by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to generate insurance claim estimates that an insured individual may quickly review, approve, or modify. When an insurance-related event occurs, such as a vehicle collision, crash, or disaster, one or more UAVs are dispatched to the scene of the event to collect various data, including data related to vehicle or real property (insured asset) damage. With the insured's permission or consent, the data collected by the UAVs may then be analyzed to generate an estimated insurance claim for the insured. The estimated insurance claim may be sent to the insured individual, such as to their mobile device via wireless communication or data transmission, for subsequent review and approval. As a result, insurance claim handling and/or the online customer experience may be enhanced.

Abstract: Various techniques are described utilizing one or more unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs, or “drones”) for various disaster and/or catastrophe-related purposes. UAVs may collect data in an attempt to predict the occurrence and/or extent of a catastrophe and/or to mitigate the impact of a catastrophe before and, if not at that time, once it has occurred. The UAVs may perform various tasks such that the damage to property caused by a catastrophe (or potential catastrophe) may be eliminated or mitigated. A UAV may receive a flight path based on an energy consumption related condition and operate based on the flight path. Operating based on the flight path includes docking the UAV with a power supply device for charging a power source of the UAV.

Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) may facilitate insurance-related tasks. UAVs may actively be dispatched to an area surrounding a property, and collect data related to property. A location for an inspection of a property to be conducted by a UAV may be received, and one or more images depicting a view of the location may be displayed via a user interface. Additionally, a geofence boundary may be determined based on an area corresponding to a property boundary, where the geofence boundary represents a geospatial boundary in which to limit flight of the UAV. Furthermore, a navigation route may be determined which corresponds to the geofence boundary for inspection of the property by the UAV, the navigation route having waypoints, each waypoint indicating a location for the UAV to obtain drone data. The UAV may be directed around the property using the determined navigation route.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for assessing damage to a plurality of properties is provided. After an occurrence of an event that is a potential cause of insured losses, image data depicting an aerial view of the properties may be received from an aerial platform. The image data may be processed to determine a subsequent condition of each property after occurrence of the event. Further, a damage severity level may be determined for each property, and used to display a map depicting different regions having properties with different respective damage severity levels.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing data associated with insured losses is presented. Data regarding an event that is a cause of the insured losses may be received. Respective indications of locations of properties insured by an insurance provider and sustaining the insured losses may be received. Image data from at least one image capturing device, where the image data is obtained from an aerial view of the properties and indicative of respective conditions of the properties, may be received. The image data may be processed to determine, for each property, an indication of the respective condition. The data associated with the insured losses may be provided via a user interface. The data associated with the insured losses may include (i) the respective indications of the locations of the properties, and (ii) the indications of the respective conditions of the properties.

Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) may facilitate insurance-related tasks. UAVs may actively be dispatched to an area surrounding an insured or potentially insured asset, such as with the insurance customer's permission, and collect data related to the insured or potentially insured asset, such as size, height, roof shape, materials (siding, roofing), etc. which may form a basis of the underwriting detail used to evaluate a property. The drone data may reveal site characteristics, such as slope or grade of a parcel; the proximity to other structures (and their uses); trees; rivers; coastlines; and earthquake faults. The drone data may be used by an insurance provider remote server to assess the risk associated with an insured asset, generate or modify an insurance premium or discount, etc. The drone data may also be used to mitigate risk and prevent loss by alerting policyholders of the risk such that corrective action may be taken.

Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) may facilitate insurance-related tasks. UAVs may actively survey an area or be dispatched to the scene of a vehicle collision or crash, such as with an insured's permission, and collect data related to the vehicle collision or crash, such as vehicle data, insurer data, images, video, audio, weather conditions, etc., and transmit this data to a computing device. The computing device may be associated with an insurer and/or utilized by an insurer to perform insurance-related tasks, such as processing the data to assign fault to one or more parties or vehicles, such as autonomous vehicles, involved in the vehicle collision or crash, using the fault assignment to open or otherwise process an insurance claim, modifying a premium price, updating qualified discounts, etc. The drone data may also assist an insurer in opening an insurance claim by prepopulating fields associated with a submitted claim form.

Abstract: Systems and approaches for estimating damage to property are described. In one approach, a damage estimation device is activated using a mobile computing device. This damage estimation device may then automatically capture (e.g., using an imaging sensor) a plurality of images of the damaged property. The damage estimation device may then calculate at least one characteristic of the damaged property from the plurality of captured images and further calculate at least one characteristic of the damage to the damaged property from the plurality of captured images. A repair estimate may then be calculated based at least on the at least one characteristic of the damaged property and the at least one characteristic of the damage. This repair estimate may then be transmitted.
