METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR REDUCING CRIMINAL RISK TO AN OVERLAND TRANSPORT
First Claim
1. A method for determining a trip route for travel comprising:
- obtaining start point data for a start point;
obtaining end point data for an end point;
obtaining crime risk data for at least one point along a possible trip route between the start point and the end point;
determining a portion of a safe trip route between the start point and the endpoint based on the crime risk data;
evaluating the portion of safe trip route by introducing at least one randomized variation to it; and
/oroptimizing the portion of safe trip route considering item data regarding at least one item to be transported, and,communicating the evaluated and/or optimized portion of the safe trip route via a navigation device.

Abstract
In navigation systems and methods thereof and, more particularly, navigation systems and methods for vehicles and, even more particularly, navigation systems and methods that reduce/minimize the incidence criminal activity during transport of cargo along a route a method is provided for determining a trip route for travel including the following steps: (i) obtaining start point data for a start point; (ii) obtaining end point data for an end point; (iii) obtaining crime risk data for at least one point along a possible trip route between said start point and said end point; (iv) determining a portion of a safe trip route between said start point and said endpoint based on said crime risk data; and, (v) communicating said portion of said safe trip route via a navigation device.

12. A method for navigating along a trip route comprising:
-
obtaining start point data, end point data and crime risk data and communicating the same to a computer; determining a portion of a safe trip route between the start point and the endpoint, the portion of the safe trip route calculated by the computer upon consideration of the crime risk data; evaluating the portion of safe trip route by introducing at least one randomized variation to it; and
/oroptimizing the portion of safe trip route considering item data regarding at least one item to be transported; communicating a sub-portion of the evaluated and/or optimized safe trip route to a user via a navigation device; proceeding along the sub-portion of the evaluated and/or optimized safe trip route corresponding to a sub-portion communicated; and
,communicating a further sub-portion of the evaluated and/or optimized safe trio route to a user via the navigation device as the safe trip route is traversed. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A navigation system for navigating a safe trip route, the system comprising:
-
a navigation device; and a computer; the navigation device indicating a geographical position thereof, the computer in communication with the navigation device, the computer determining a safe trip route upon consideration of at least a start point, an end point, and crime risk data for at least one point along a possible route between the start point and the endpoint, the computer evaluating the safe trip route by introducing at least one randomized variation to it and/or the computer optimizing the safe trip route upon consideration of item data pertaining to at least one item to be transported; the navigation device communicating at least a portion of the evaluated and/or optimized safe trip route as the navigation device traverses the safe trip route. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
