Telematics and Usage-Based Insurance (UBI) Training Program
Preamble
Telematics technology has revolutionized the insurance industry by enabling the collection and analysis of real-time driving data. Usage-Based Insurance (UBI), also known as Pay-How-You-Drive (PHYD) or telematics auto insurance, leverages this technology to tailor insurance premiums based on individual driving behaviors. This training program aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of telematics and UBI, their applications, benefits, and the future trends shaping the insurance landscape.
Training Objectives
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Understand the fundamentals of telematics and its role in UBI.
- Analyze how driving behaviors influence insurance premiums.
- Evaluate the benefits and challenges of implementing UBI.
- Explore the technological advancements driving UBI adoption.
- Assess the impact of UBI on consumer behavior and insurance industry dynamics.
