Polynomial risk maps
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- one or more sensors located on or alongside a specific road segment, the one or more sensors configured to;
detect sensor information indicating an attribute of the specific road segment; and
transmit the sensor information; and
a mobile computing device configured to;
receive trip request information indicating a destination of a trip to be traveled by a vehicle driven by a driver;
determine a route for the driver to travel in the vehicle based on the trip request information;
receive base map information, vehicle information, and driver information;
receive, from the one or more sensors via a wireless connection when the mobile computing device is within range of the one or more sensors, the sensor information;
assemble the sensor information, base map information, vehicle information, and driver information into one or more multivariable equations;
determine, using the one or more multivariable equations, a risk score for each road segment of a plurality of road segments forming the route to obtain a plurality of risk scores;
generate a risk map based on the plurality of risk scores; and
output, on a display, the risk map to the driver.

Abstract
A system including a computing device may receive base map information, including attribute information associated with a plurality of road segments, and trip request information. Based on this information, a route for the user to travel may be determined. The system might further calculate a risk score for each road segment forming the route, and generate a risk map based on the risk score and the route. The risk map may then be displayed to a user. The risk map may include markers or other objects depicting potential risks along the route the driver may face. Also, the risk map may be updated based on information collected from a sensor coupled to the vehicle or located at the road segment to reflect actual, real-time risk scores calculated using an equation for providing a risk score for a particular driver driving a particular vehicle on a particular road segment.

8. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a mobile computing device, trip request information indicating a destination of a trip to be traveled by a vehicle driven by a driver; determining, by the mobile computing device, a route for the driver to travel in the vehicle based on the trip request information; receiving, by the mobile computing device via a wireless connection from one or more sensors located by a specific road segment, sensor information indicating an attribute of the specific road segment; receiving, by the mobile computing device, driver information, vehicle information, and base map information; generating, based on the sensor information, driver information, vehicle information, and base map information, one or more multivariable equations; determining, using the one or more multivariable equations, a risk score for each road segment of a plurality of road segments forming the route to obtain a plurality of risk scores; generating, by the mobile computing device, a risk map based on the plurality of risk scores; and outputting, on a display, the risk map to the driver. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a mobile computing device, cause the mobile computing device to:
-
receive trip request information indicating a destination of a trip to be traveled by a vehicle driven by a driver; determine a route for the driver to travel in the vehicle based on the trip request information; receive, via a wireless connection from one or more sensors located by a specific road segment, sensor information indicating an attribute of the specific road segment; receive driver information, vehicle information, and base map information; generate, based on the sensor information, driver information, vehicle information, and base map information, one or more multivariable equations; determine, using the one or more multivariable equations, a risk score for each road segment of a plurality of road segments forming the route to obtain a plurality of risk scores; generate a risk map based on the plurality of risk scores; and output, on a display, the risk map to the driver. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
