at least one display screen; and
at least one non-transitory memory device storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the mobile device to;
receive, via a first user interface presented by the at least one display screen, input identifying a first location located along a current road segment being traveled by a vehicle;
while the vehicle is traveling on the current road segment, determine, at the mobile device, a plurality of road segments located between the first location and a second location corresponding to a current location of the vehicle, the plurality of road segments comprising a first series of road segments and a second series of road segments, the first series of road segments corresponding to a first route between the first location and the second location, and the second series of road segments corresponding to a second route between the first location and the second location different from the first route;
while the vehicle is traveling on the current road segment, receive, at the mobile device, from at least one sensor, driving data associated with operation of the vehicle;
while the vehicle is traveling on the current road segment, analyze, at the mobile device, the driving data received from the at least one sensor to determine at least one driving behavior of an operator of the vehicle;
while the vehicle is traveling on the current road segment, determine, at the mobile device, based on the at least one driving behavior of the operator of the vehicle determined from analyzing the driving data received from the at least one sensor at the mobile device and a direction of travel of the vehicle through each road segment of the plurality of road segments located between the first location and the second location, a safety rating for each road segment of the plurality of road segments located between the first location and the second location;
while the vehicle is traveling on the current road segment, provide, via a second user interface presented by the at least one display screen, an indication of a safest route between the first location and the second location based on determining the safety rating for each road segment of the plurality of road segments located between the first location and the second location;
determine that the vehicle is beginning to travel along the safest route between the first location and the second location; and
based on determining that the vehicle is beginning to travel along the safest route between the first location and the second location, cause an insurance discount to be provided while the vehicle is traveling on the safest route between the first location and the second location.

Abstract
Methods, computer-readable media, systems and apparatuses for determining a safest road segment for traveling between a first location and a second location are provided. In some cases, the road segment safety rating may be determined for a plurality of road segments between the first location and the second location based on historical data associated with the road segments (e.g., accident history data, traffic volume data, etc.) and/or based on driving behavior data of the operator of the vehicle. An indication of the road segment determined as being the safest may be provided to the operator of the vehicle. An actual route of travel of the vehicle can be captured and compared to the safest route. If the vehicle has traveled the safest route, the operator may earn an award. If not, the operator may be notified that an award may be earned when an indicated safest route is traveled.
