Designing Prefererred Vehicle Routes Based on Driving Scores From Other Vehicles
First Claim
1. A networked system comprising:
- a route designing system comprising at least one processor and a memory storing at least a driver score analysis unit and a route planning unit, that when executed by the at least one processor, cause the route designing system to;
determine, by the at least one processor, driving scores associated with drivers of each of a plurality of vehicles, wherein the plurality of vehicles does not include a first vehicle;
associate, by the at least one processor, the plurality of vehicles with one of a set of preferred vehicles and a set of non-preferred vehicles based, at least in part, on the driving scores of the drivers of each of the plurality of vehicles;
associate, by the at least one processor, vehicles in the set of preferred vehicles and vehicles in the set of non-preferred vehicles with a plurality of potential routes;
identify, by the at least one processor, a plurality of potential routes from a first geographical point to a second geographical point for the first vehicle; and
determine, by the at least one processor, a preferred route from the plurality of potential routes, wherein the preferred route is designed to at least one of;
maximize a likelihood of proximity to the vehicles in the set of preferred vehicles and minimize the likelihood of proximity to the vehicles in the set of non-preferred vehicles; and
a route designing unit located in the first vehicle communicatively coupled to the route designing system, comprising a first processor and a first memory storing computer-readable instructions, that when executed by the first processor, cause the route designing unit to;
output the preferred route, determined by the route designing system, to a user interface device located in the first vehicle, wherein the user interface device is configured to visually display textual information and to output alerts.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for designing a preferred route for a vehicle. The route designing system receives a request from the vehicle for a preferred route from a first geographical point to a second geographical point. The route designing system analyzes the request and obtains driving scores associated with drivers of other vehicles. The route designing unit may identify a set of preferred and non-preferred vehicles based on the driving scores. The route designing system then determines a preferred route based, at least in part, on the driving scores associated with drivers of the other vehicles. The preferred route is designed to minimize the likelihood of proximity to non-preferred vehicles and maximize the likelihood of proximity to preferred vehicles.
