ROUTING, ALERTING, AND TRANSPORTATION GUIDANCE BASED ON PREFERENCES AND LEARNED OR INFERRED RISKS AND DESIRABILITIES
First Claim
1. A method for providing a risk-based assessment for a user based on their location, executed via a processor on a computer comprising a memory whereon computer-executable instructions comprising the method are stored, the method comprising:
- acquiring incident data that comprises information about incidents that involve potential risk for a plurality of locations;
matching incident data to data for a user'"'"'s location;
comparing the matched incident data with the user'"'"'s desired risk threshold; and
providing notification to the user of a condition when the matched incident data meets the user'"'"'s desired risk threshold.

Abstract
Techniques and systems are disclosed that provide a risk-based assessment for a user based on user location information. Incident data is acquired for incidents that involve potential risks (e.g., to people and/or property) from a plurality of locations and contexts, considering such factors as date, time, weather, traffic, and velocity. The incident data is matched to the user'"'"'s location and context directly or indirectly to provide one or more potential outcomes of interest (e.g., accidents, injuries, fatalities), and inferences regarding the likelihood of events are made available. These measures are compared to desired risk thresholds for the user. In one embodiment, routes, times, and conditions of travel may be preferred over others routes, times, and conditions. In another embodiment, users may be notified of a condition or a vehicle'"'"'s maximum velocity may be reduced when the matched incident data meets/exceeds a user'"'"'s risk threshold.

16. A system for providing a risk-based assessment for a user based on their location, comprising:
-
an incident data storage component configured to store data about incidents that involve potential risk for a plurality of locations; an incident location matching component operably coupled with the incident data storage component, and configured to match incident data to data for a user'"'"'s location; an incident data comparison component operably coupled with the incident location matching component, and configured to compare the matched incident data with a desired risk threshold for the user; and a user notification component configured to provide notification to the user of a condition when the matched incident data meets the user'"'"'s desired risk threshold. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. A method for providing a risk-based assessment for a user based on their location, executed via a processor on a computer comprising a memory whereon computer-executable instructions comprising the method are stored, the method comprising:
-
acquiring data that comprises risk-based information about incidents that involve potential risk for a plurality of locations; determining risk unit measures for the plurality of locations for one or more incident attributes; mapping the plurality of incident locations and corresponding risk unit measures to a computer-based mapping system; matching incident data to data for a user'"'"'s location comprising; identifying the user'"'"'s location comprising one or more of; identifying a user'"'"'s current location; identifying a user'"'"'s location from their planned route of travel; and identifying a user'"'"'s location from their potential route of travel; and identifying an incident location for the user'"'"'s location comprising identifying an incident location that is within a desired incident location boundary from the user'"'"'s location; comparing the matched incident data with the user'"'"'s desired risk threshold comprising comparing the matched incident data with a level of user risk tolerance for a type of matched incident based on the matched incident data, the matched incident data and user risk tolerance comprising risk unit measures; and providing notification to the user of a condition when the matched incident data meets the user'"'"'s desired risk threshold comprising providing notification to a user interface disposed on a computing device that a condition for the user'"'"'s location meets the desired risk threshold.
