1. One or more computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- determining, based on one or more factors affecting a cognitive, emotional, or psychological load for potential routes from a start location to an end location, a determined route for at least a portion of a route from the start location to the end location, the one or more factors affecting the cognitive, emotional, or psychological load including road surroundings for a portion of at least one of the potential routes, lane number for a portion of at least one of the potential routes, an amount of nature on a portion of at least one of the potential routes, types of vehicles present or likely to be present on a portion of at least one of the potential routes, perceived danger of a portion of at least one of the potential routes, a prior-driven route portion driven by the driver for at least a portion of one of the potential routes, aesthetics of a portion of at least one of the potential routes, or a route-based disturbance of a portion of at least one of the potential routes, the one or more factors including at least the prior-driven route portion driven by the driver for a least a portion of one of the potential routes,wherein the determined route includes the at least one prior-driven route portion driven by the driver, the prior-driven route portion having a first location and a second location, the first location at or after the start location of the determined route and the second location at or before the end location of the determine route; and

Abstract
This document describes techniques and apparatuses for load-based mapping. The techniques provide routes for drivers that take into account a cognitive, emotional, or psychological load for the routes. By so doing, a driver can receive a route from one point to another that the driver may better enjoy, feel less tired or stressed by, or take less mental effort to drive.
