Methods and systems for guiding road users

A processor-implemented method for guiding a user operating a requesting device, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the processor, requesting parameters input by the user of the requesting device;
• identifying, by the processor, the requesting parameters of the requesting device, wherein the requesting parameters include a location of the requesting device, a trajectory of the requesting device, or a combination thereof;
• generating, by the processor, one or more safety scores associated with one or more roadways based on vehicle behavior information associated with one or more vehicles, pedestrian behavior information associated with one or more roadside unit devices, or a combination thereof, wherein:
• the vehicle behavior information is indicative of a speed of the one or more vehicles, an aggressiveness of the one or more vehicles, a trajectory of the one or more vehicles, or a combination thereof;
• the pedestrian behavior information is indicative of a location of the one or more roadside unit devices, a trajectory of the one or more roadside unit devices, a speed of the one or more roadside unit devices, or a combination thereof;
• and
• the vehicle behavior information and the pedestrian behavior information include both present and historical information;
• determining, by the processor, a route of the requesting device based on the one or more safety scores and the requesting parameters;
• and
• broadcasting, by the processor, the route to the requesting device.

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a nontransitory computer-readable medium including instructions that are executable by the processor, wherein the instructions include:
• receiving requesting parameters input by the user of the requesting device;
• identifying requesting parameters of the requesting device, wherein the requesting parameters include a location of the requesting device, a trajectory of the requesting device, or a combination thereof;
• generating one or more safety scores associated with one or more roadways based on vehicle behavior information associated with one or more vehicles, pedestrian behavior information associated with one or more roadside unit devices, or a combination thereof, wherein:
• the vehicle behavior information is indicative of a speed of the one or more vehicles, an aggressiveness of the one or more vehicles, a trajectory of the one or more vehicles, or a combination thereof;
• the pedestrian behavior information is indicative of a location of the one or more roadside unit devices, a trajectory of the one or more roadside unit devices, a speed of the one or more roadside unit devices, or a combination thereof;
• and
• wherein the vehicle behavior information and the pedestrian behavior information include both present and historical information;
• determining a route of the requesting device based on the one or more safety scores and the requesting parameters;
• and
• broadcasting the route to the requesting device.
