1. A computer-implemented method of determining a personalized transportation plan, the method comprising:
- (a) receiving operational parameters, wherein the operational parameters include non-weather related parameters and transportation vehicle characteristics, the transportation vehicle characteristics including at least one of vehicle type, vehicle model, performance characteristics, fuel efficiency, passenger capacity, and sensitivity to different types of weather;
(b) receiving a user profile, wherein the user profile contains user transportation preferences;
(c) receiving weather data;
(d) determining, based on the weather data, a probability of re-direction of traffic into one or more transportation routes due to an effect of current and predicted future weather conditions on the one or more transportation routes and the operational parameters corresponding to each of the transportation routes;
(e) determining a probability of an availability of the one or more transportation routes during an expected travel time based on the probability of the re-direction of the traffic into the one or more transportation routes;
(f) generating the personalized transportation plan in accordance with the user transportation preferences, the plan including one of the transportation routes predicted to be available during the expected travel time; and
(g) presenting the personalized transportation plan to a user.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method of providing personalized weather and transportation information includes receiving operational parameters, a user profile, and weather data. Personalized weather and transportation information is derived based on the received weather, operational parameters, and the user profile. The personalized weather and transportation information is presented to a user.

11. A computer-implemented method of determining a personalized transportation plan, the method comprising:
-
(a) receiving operational parameters, wherein the operational parameters include non-weather related parameters and transportation vehicle characteristics, the transportation vehicle characteristics including at least one of vehicle type, vehicle model, performance characteristics, fuel efficiency, passenger capacity, and sensitivity to different types of weather; (b) receiving a user profile, wherein the user profile contains user transportation preferences; (c) generating the personalized transportation plan, including a first transportation route, based on the operational parameters and the user profile; (d) receiving weather data including current and future predicted weather conditions along the first transportation route; (e) predicting a change effected by the weather data to at least one of the operational parameters corresponding to the first transportation route, the prediction based on statistical and historical analysis of an impact of the weather data on the first transportation route during an expected travel time; (f) modifying the personalized transportation plan to include a second transportation route determined in accordance with the user transportation preferences and the predicted change to the at least one of the operational parameters; and (g) presenting the personalized transportation plan to a user. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer-implemented method of determining a flight plan, the method comprising:
-
(a) receiving weather data, operational parameters, and user transportation preferences, wherein the operational parameters include non-weather related parameters and transportation vehicle characteristics, the transportation vehicle characteristics including at least one of vehicle type, vehicle model, performance characteristics, fuel efficiency, passenger capacity, and sensitivity to different types of weather; (b) determining a first flight route and one or more alternate flight routes in accordance with the operational parameters and the user transportation preferences; (c) determining, based on the weather data, a probability of current and future predicted weather conditions occurring along the first flight route during an expected travel time, the probability of the weather conditions occurring affecting the availability of the first flight route; (d) determining a probability of re-direction of aircraft traffic into the one or more alternate flight routes; (e) determining a probability of availability of the one or more alternate flight routes during the expected travel time based on the probability of the re-direction of the aircraft traffic into the one or more alternate flight routes; and (f) generating the flight plan in accordance with the user transportation preferences that includes at least one of the alternate flight routes predicted to be available during the expected travel time. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
