Vehicle routing and notifications based on characteristics
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a processor programmed to initiate executable operations comprising;
receiving, in real time, data indicating current driving characteristics of a driver driving a vehicle, the data indicating the current driving characteristics being generated, at least in part, by a plurality of sensors in the vehicle;
based on the data indicating the current driving characteristics of the driver, determining a driving profile for the driver;
categorizing the driving profile for the driver into a driving pattern category;
determining an intended destination of the driver driving the vehicle;
identifying a plurality of candidate travel routes for the driver to reach the intended destination and, for each of the candidate travel routes, identifying a plurality of route segments;
based on the driving pattern category into which the driving profile is categorized, determining, for each of the plurality of route segments, a probability that the current driving characteristics of the driver will cause a traffic accident;
determining from among the plurality of route segments a route segment for which the probability that the current driving characteristics of the driver will cause the traffic accident is lowest; and
communicating to the driver or the vehicle a notification indicating the determined route segment for which the probability that the current driving characteristics of the driver will cause the traffic accident is lowest.

Abstract
Data indicating current driving characteristics of a driver driving a vehicle can be received. A driving profile for the driver can be determined and categorized into a driving pattern category. A plurality of candidate travel routes for the driver to reach an intended destination can be identified. For each of the candidate travel routes a plurality of route segments can be identified. Based on the driving pattern category, a probability that the current driving characteristics of the driver will cause a traffic accident can be determined for each of the route segments. A route segment for which the probability that the current driving characteristics of the driver will cause the traffic accident is lowest can be determined and a notification can be communicated to the driver or vehicle indicating that route segment.
