Abstract
Embodiments relate to a system, computer program product, and method for determining shelter areas for two-wheeler vehicles, and, more specifically, for dynamically distinguishing the behavior of two-wheeler vehicles and non-two-wheeler vehicles as an indicator of shelter areas from inclement weather. The behavior of the vehicles is distinguished through a plurality of two-wheeler vehicles slowing down and congregating at a particular location as a shelter against inclement weather, while non-two-wheeler vehicles may slow down, however, not stop proximate this location.
Claims20
A computer system comprising:
- one or more processing devices;
- one or more memory devices communicatively coupled to the one or more processing devices;
- a knowledge base communicatively coupled to the one or more processing devices and the one or more memory devices, the knowledge base configured to retain collected data resident therein;
- wherein the knowledge base and the one or more memory devices are communicatively coupled to a plurality of positioning devices, each positioning device of the plurality of positioning devices associated with one of:
- a two-wheeler vehicle;
- and
- a non-two-wheeler vehicle;
- wherein the knowledge base is configured to receive location information from the plurality of positioning devices;
- wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
- use the location information to determine a first location, wherein a plurality of first two-wheeler vehicles are proximate the first location, a first status of the plurality of first two-wheeler vehicles is the plurality of first two-wheeler vehicles is not moving;
- use the location information to determine that a second status of a plurality of non-two-wheeler vehicles is one or more non-two-wheeler vehicles of the plurality of non-two-wheeler vehicles is moving proximate the first location;
- determine, subject to the first status and the second status, the first location is a shelter from inclement weather;
- use at least a portion of the collected data resident within the knowledge base to identify inclement weather proximate the first location;
- and
- transmit identification of one or more shelters to the one or more second two-wheeler vehicles.
12 more elements
A computer program product for determining shelter areas for two-wheeler vehicles, the computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer readable storage media;
- and
- program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to use location information transmitted from a plurality of positioning devices to determine a first location, wherein a plurality of first two-wheeler vehicles are proximate the first location;
- program instructions to use the location information to determine that a first status of the plurality of first two-wheeler vehicles is the plurality of first two-wheeler vehicles is not moving;
- program instructions to use the location information to determine that a second status of a plurality of non-two-wheeler vehicles is one or more non-two-wheeler vehicles of the plurality of non-two-wheeler vehicles are moving proximate the first location;
- program instructions to determine, subject to the first status and the second status, the first location is a shelter from inclement weather;
- program instructions to use at least a portion of collected data resident within a knowledge base to identify inclement weather proximate the first location;
- and
- program instructions to transmit identification of one or more shelters to the one or more second two-wheeler vehicles.
7 more elements
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- using location information transmitted from a plurality of positioning devices to determine a plurality of first two-wheeler vehicles proximate a first location;
- determining that a first status of the plurality of first two-wheeler vehicles is the plurality of first two-wheeler vehicles is not moving;
- using the location information to determine that a second status of a plurality of non-two-wheeler vehicles is one or more non-two-wheeler vehicles of the plurality of non-two-wheeler vehicles is moving proximate the first location;
- determining, subject to the first status and the second status, the first location is a shelter from inclement weather;
- using at least a portion of collected data resident within a knowledge base to identify inclement weather proximate the first location;
- and
- transmitting identification of one or more shelters to the one or more second two-wheeler vehicles.
