Abstract:

Pricing auto insurance on a per-mile basis provides a beneficial, cost-based incentive to

reduce vehicle miles traveled compared with traditional rating plans that charge annual

premiums with little or no consideration of miles driven.

The research project is a continuation of UTC Project MITR21-4 which combines

spatially detailed information about vehicle miles traveled (VMT), urban form, and

automobile accidents into the most extensive analysis yet undertaken of mileage based

risk and the influence of urban form.
