First Claim
Patent Images
1. A processor based method comprising:
- accessing current location data of a mobile device corresponding to a first user;
accessing environmental data corresponding to the current location data;
generating a driving condition assessment based on the current location data and the environmental data; and
providing the driving condition assessment to the first user.

Abstract
A driving assessment system and method is described that automatically assesses driving conditions around a driver to identify safety hazards and to subsequently inform that driver when an unusually hazardous condition exists. The driving assessment is performed by obtaining and storing safety related data from the driver and from external sources and then processing that data in real time to produce a driving hazard assessment and warning. Beneficially the driving hazard assessment automatically obtains and considers existing conditions of the road system local to the driver.

32. A driving hazard assessment and warning system, comprising:
-
a first mobile device having communications capabilities and producing first user location data, wherein the first user location data corresponds to a road; a road description database comprising data corresponding to the road; a computer input receiving the first user location data; an alert subsystem; and a processor operatively connected to the road description database, to the alert subsystem, and to the computer input; wherein the processor uses the first user location data to access a description of the road from the road description database; wherein the processor analyzes the obtained description of the road to identify a substantial safety hazard; and wherein the processor causes the alert subsystem to output a warning if the processor identifies a substantial safety hazard. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48)
