    摘要: Hot rail car bearings or wheels are identified by sensing an infrared radiation from the hot surface and determining whether features of the sensed signals are indicative of hot rail car surfaces. The features may include the signals themselves, with distances or correlations being established between the signals and signals of known hot bearings or wheels. The features may be analyzed in a feature or decision space, with boundaries being established that identify hot bearings or wheels, or that establish false positive features or noise. The identification may also be implemented as a matched filter.

    摘要: A system and method for automated risk-based pricing of a vehicle-warranty insurance policy. A vehicle warranty policy request input source receives a request for a vehicle warranty policy. A processor receives the request and uses analytical tools in conjunction with an environmental database, a vehicle database, and a historical database, to service the request. The processor generates a price, conditions and terms for the request using a risk-based pricing algorithm. A system operator reviews the price, conditions and terms and either accepts or rejects the policy request. The system operator also has the option to adjust the price, conditions and terms derived from the processor.
