AIR Events can be historical event simulations, or they can be stochastic Realistic Disaster Scenarios (RDS). Historical event simulations use the parameters of actual events, such as tropical cyclone wind speed, earthquake fault zone, peak ground acceleration, soil type, distance to 100 year flood plain, and so on. RDS are from AIR's stochastic catalogs. They are based on Lloyd's® RDS.

The Custom Boundaries are particularly useful when you import your own vector or raster data as a Boundary data type and inspect accumulation on the same exposures.

The Custom Boundaries are particularly useful when you import your own vector or raster data as a Boundary data type and inspect accumulation on the same exposures within the boundary.

The Geospatial Analysis for which you want to retrieve results by Contract could have a Ring, Zone, or Event accumulator. Each result in the list of Geospatial Analysis results by Contract contains the Contract ID, name of the insured, and accumulator type, as well as the total risk count and total replacement value of the insured properties in the specified Contract.

A Damage Band is a single element of a Damage Function, which describes the effect of a selected peril. It consists of a parameter, such as maximum wind speed, and its associated damage ratio, expressed as a number between 0.0 and 1.0.

The Geospatial Analysis for which you want to retrieve Damage Bands could have a Ring, Zone, or Event accumulator. Each result in the list of Geospatial Analysis Damage Bands contains the Damage Band ID, name, risk count, and accumulator type, as well as the total replacement value of the insured properties in the specified Damage Band.

A Layer defines a range of loss in an insurance contract. For example, one layer might cover losses up to $10M, and a second layer might cover losses from $10M to $20M.

The Geospatial Analysis for which you want to retrieve results by Layer could have a Ring, Zone, or Event accumulator. Each result in the list of Geospatial Analysis results by Layer contains the Layer ID, risk count, and accumulator type, as well as the total replacement value of the insured properties in the specified Layer.

The Analysis could have a Ring, Zone, or Event accumulator. Each result in the list of Geospatial Analysis results by Location contains the Location ID, address of the Location, and accumulator type, as well as the total replacement value of the insured properties in the specified Location.

A Zone Set is a grouping of geographic zones.

These zone sets differ from the zone sets used for detailed loss analyses.

The Custom Boundary Geospatial API is the most flexible analysis service that enables you to customize the Boundary data type. You can use it in many real-world situations such as in the import of administrative boundaries, hazard zones, disaster events, etc. Just as with events, you can accumulate against boundaries (assigning damage ratios). This Boundary data type is also useful if you want to analyze an imported shapefile for different perils. You assign perils for imported custom boundaries.

The Geospatial Analysis API enables you to perform a deterministic risk analysis on your Exposure View data to find out where your risks concentrate due to one or more specified perils, such as earthquakes, floods, and tropical cyclones. An Event Geospatial Analysis uses one or more historical event simulations or stochastic Realistic Disaster Scenarios (RDS) as accumulators in the Event analysis. This type of Geospatial Analysis accepts a list of one or more AIR Events for which you specify the corresponding Touchstone®-generated Event Sequential Identifiers (SIDs). Apply these Event parameters to your Exposure View to analyze the effect on the total risk count and the total replacement value of your insured properties.

The Geospatial Analysis API enables you to perform a deterministic risk analysis on your Exposure View data to determine where your risk from one or more perils is concentrated.

A Ring Geospatial Analysis accumulates exposure data in geodesic rings that you define. You define the rings by specifying their placement, radius, and damage ratio.

A Geospatial grid ring analysis is a type of Ring Geospatial Analysis that enables you to determine exposure concentrations for locations within a user-defined ring radius. Unlike Dynamic ring analysis, Geospatial grid ring analysis offers a minimum overlapping of rings and ensures to capture risks for locations surrounded by highly-clustered rings.

Some resources in Geospatial module requires you to obtain AIR's contractual permission.

The Geospatial Analysis API enables you to perform a deterministic risk analysis on your Exposure View data to find out where your risks concentrate due to one or more specified perils, such as earthquakes, floods, and tropical cyclones. A Zone Geospatial Analysis accumulates exposures to risk and analysis results by geographic zones that you can define. It accumulates the values for all properties in the target Exposure View that match the filter criteria that you specify and then calculates your potential loss.

Note: This is the most common way of managing accumulations for a Geospatial Analysis.
