System for identifying high risk parking lots
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:
- analyzing, via one or more processors, auto insurance claim data to identify hazardous areas, the hazardous areas being defined, at least in part, by GPS location or GPS coordinates;
building or generating, via the one or more processors, a virtual navigation map of roads within the hazardous areas, the virtual navigation map being visually depicted;
identifying, via the one or more processors, public parking lots within the virtual navigation map, and determining whether each public parking lot is associated with a hazardous area or not;
determining, via the one or more processors, that a vehicle is approaching or parking in a public parking lot associated with a hazardous area along or near to a preexisting navigation route to an ultimate destination;
in response to determining that the vehicle is approaching or parking in the public parking lot associated with a hazardous area, automatically selecting, via the one or more processors, a nearby public parking lot that is along or within a predetermined vicinity of the preexisting navigation route, wherein the nearby public parking lot is not associated with a hazardous area;
generating, via the one or more processors, a route from a current position of the vehicle to the nearby public parking lot that is not associated with a hazardous area; and
routing, via one or more transceivers and/or the one or more processors, the vehicle to the nearby public parking lot using the generated route.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for identifying high risk parking lots. High risk parking lots may be, for example, parking lots that pose a higher than average risk of collisions and/or theft. Auto insurance claim data may be analyzed to identify hazardous areas. A virtual navigation of roads within the hazardous area may be identified. Public parking lots within the virtual navigation map may be defined, with each public parking lot determined as either in a hazardous area or not. A vehicle may be determined to be approaching or parking in a parking lot in a hazardous area, and a nearby public parking lot not associated with the hazardous area may be selected instead. A route from a current position to the nearby public parking lot may be generated, and the vehicle may be routed to the nearby public parking lot. As a result, collisions and thefts may be reduced.

9. A computer system comprising:
-
one or more processors; and one or more memories storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to; analyze auto insurance claim data to identify hazardous areas, the hazardous areas being defined, at least in part, by GPS location or GPS coordinates; build or generate a virtual navigation map of roads within the hazardous areas, the virtual navigation map being visually depicted; identify public parking lots within the virtual navigation map, and determine whether each public parking lot is associated with a hazardous area or not; determine that a vehicle is approaching or parking in a public parking lot associated with a hazardous area along or near to a preexisting navigation route to an ultimate destination; in response to determining that the vehicle is approaching or parking in the public parking lot associated with a hazardous area, select a nearby public parking lot that is along or within a predetermined vicinity of the preexisting navigation route, wherein the nearby public parking lot is not associated with a hazardous area; generate a route from a current position of the vehicle to the nearby public parking lot that is not associated with a hazardous area; and route or reroute the vehicle to the nearby public parking lot using the generated route. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
