1. A method comprising:
- receiving a request for routing to a destination;
identifying a plurality of routes to the destination;
identifying a time interval;
performing a comparison of incident probabilities for the plurality of routes and associated with the time interval; and
selecting one of the plurality of routes based on the incident probabilities.

Abstract
A route is selected based on the likelihood that an incident will occur while traveling on the route. An apparatus receives request for routing to a destination and identifies alternative routes to the destination. The apparatus selects a time interval based on a current time or another future time selected by a user. A comparison is performed for incident probabilities for the alternative routes and assigned to the time interval. The apparatus selects one of the alternative routes based on the incident probabilities.

10. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs; the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least perform; identify a plurality of routes, wherein each of the plurality of routes comprises a series of path segments; determine incident probabilities for the series of path segments at a predetermined time; and select a preferred route from the plurality of routes based on a comparison of the incident probabilities for the series of path segments. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
