Manage-how-you-drive or MHYD is estimated to be the fastest-growing usage-based insurance market. MHYD is an extended version of PHYD, which provides feedback to drivers on improvement areas besides just ranking them on driving behavior. This model is ideal for young drivers aged between 18 and 25 as they are new drivers. The MHYD system collects various driving behavior information such as harsh braking, sharp cornering, and overspeeding to rate the driver. The system also suggests improvements to the driver to help improve the driver's behavior and reduce insurance premiums for the driver. UBI companies can work together with telematics device manufactures, insurance companies, and OEMs to develop MHYD plans that suit the requirements of different customers.
