System and method for facilitating vehicle insurance services

A computer system for facilitating vehicle insurance services provided by a casualty insurance provider, the system comprising:

• a specialty vehicle data identifier template including a plurality of segments, each segment of the plurality of segments capable of including a code representative of a vehicle attribute;
• a memory including vehicle information associated with one or more segments of the specialty vehicle data identifier template;
• a user interface module;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the memory and the user interface module, the one or more processors configured to:
• receive, via a sensor operably coupled to the damaged vehicle, crash information associated with the damaged vehicle at or near the time of a crash;
• automatically correlate the received crash information with one or more segments of the specialty vehicle data identifier template representative of historical collision information of a vehicle type that includes the damaged vehicle;
• utilize a specialty vehicle data identifier of the damaged vehicle to automatically store, proximate the crash, the correlated crash information in the memory;
• automatically associate the stored correlated crash information with one or more discrete vehicle data identifiers stored in the memory and including one or more segments representative of the vehicle type of the damaged vehicle;
• receive, via a user interface coupled to the one or more processors, a request for information stored in the memory based upon a search term including the code representative of the vehicle attribute;
• identify each specialty vehicle data identifier stored in the memory including the code that substantially matches at least a portion of the search term;
• compile an output including any identified specialty vehicle data identifiers;
• and
• provide, via the user interface, the output in response to the request for vehicle information.

A tangible non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored in a memory of a computer system for facilitating vehicle insurance services provided by a casualty insurance provider, the computer system including a specialty vehicle data identifier template including a plurality of segments, each segment of the plurality of segments capable of including a code representative of a vehicle attribute, and wherein the instructions, when executed by one or more processors of the computer system, cause the one or more processors to:

• receive, via a sensor coupled to a damaged vehicle, crash information associated with the damaged vehicle at or near the time of a crash;
• automatically correlate the received crash information with one or more segments of the specialty vehicle data identifier template representative of historical collision information of a vehicle type that includes the damaged vehicle;
• utilize a specialty vehicle data identifier of the damaged vehicle to automatically store, proximate the crash, the correlated crash information in the memory;
• automatically associate the stored correlated crash information with one or more discrete vehicle data identifiers stored in the memory and including one or more segments representative of the vehicle type of the damaged vehicle;
• receive, via a user interface, a request for information stored in the memory based upon a search term including the code representative of the vehicle attribute;
• identify each specialty vehicle data identifier stored in the memory including the code that substantially matches at least a portion of the search term;
• compile an output including any identified specialty vehicle data identifier;
• and
• provide, via the user interface, the output in response to the request for vehicle information.
