GPS BASED WATER LOGGING DETECTION AND NOTIFICATION
First Claim
1. A method for determining and displaying at least one least water logging prone route, from a source location to a destination location specified by a user, during a water logging condition in an area, comprising:
- capturing a first set of Global Positioning System (GPS) information by using at least one position sensor embedded in a portable communication device, the first set of GPS information comprising source location and destination location coordinates, and mapping at least two routes from the source location to the destination location using the portable communication device;
transmitting the first set of GPS information to a fusion engine by the portable communication device;
receiving, from the fusion engine, at least one alternate route from the source location to the destination location, the alternate route determined among the at least two routes by mapping the first set of GPS information with a second set of GPS information, the second set of GPS information captured and quantified by the fusion engine using a confidence matrices module; and
displaying, on the portable communication device, the at least one alternate route in a route map along with possible routes with a water logging condition.

Abstract
A method and system is provided for determining and displaying least water logging prone route, from a source location to a destination location specified by a user, during a water logging condition in an area. Particularly, the invention provides a method and system for utilizing Global Positioning System (GPS) information including the source and destination location coordinates for determining the at least one alternate route to a user from the at least two routes from the source location to the destination location and rendering result on the user'"'"'s portable communication device.

8. A system for determining and displaying at least one least water logging prone route, from a source location to a destination location specified by a user during a water logging condition in a particular area, comprising:
a fusion engine to; receive altitude information from a portable communication device, the altitude information captured by the portable communication device using a plurality of altitude information transmitters, estimate routes from a source location to a destination location specified by the a user, the routes including one or more possible water logging hot spots, determine confidence matrices for the water logging hot spots based on; the severity of water logging of each water logging hot spot, the severity determined based on the received altitude information, rainfall information received from a plurality of dynamic weather sensors, votes received from a plurality of participatory users for overriding confidence matrices determined by the fusion engine, and historical statistics of a plurality of known water logging prone areas; and determine at least one alternate route from the source location to the destination location based on the estimated routes and determined confidence matrices. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
