Routing, alerting, and transportation guidance based on preferences and learned or inferred risks and desirabilities
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- acquiring, automatically on a hand-held device comprising a processing unit, first incident data comprising first information about a first incident associated with first risk, the first information based upon first activity that occurred at a first location;
acquiring, automatically on the hand-held device, second incident data comprising second information about a second incident associated with second risk, the second information based upon second activity that occurred at a second location;
providing, automatically on the hand-held device, at least one of;
a first indication at a first mapped location in a user interface comprising a map, the first indication provided at the first mapped location based upon the first incident data and corresponding to the first incident occurring at the first location;
ora second indication at a second mapped location in the user interface comprising the map, the second indication provided at the second mapped location based upon the second incident data and corresponding to the second incident occurring at the second location;
matching, automatically on the hand-held device, at least one of the first location or the second location to a location associated with a user of the hand-held device using at least one of the first incident data or the second incident data, the matching performed while a vehicle is driven in association with the user; and
providing, automatically on the hand-held device based upon the matching, at least one of a first notification in association with the first indication at the first mapped location in the user interface when the first risk meets a first risk threshold associated with the user or a second notification in association with the second indication at the second mapped location in the user interface when the second risk meets a second risk threshold associated with the user using at least one of the first incident data or the second incident data, the providing at least one of a first notification or a second notification performed while the vehicle is driven in association with the user.

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.
