Methods and systems for predicting driving conditions

A computer-implemented system for providing a predicted driving condition to an electronic device, the electronic device being associated with a current vehicle having a current vehicle characteristic, the system comprising:

• a receiver configured to receive an indication of the current vehicle approaching a road segment and the current vehicle characteristic of the current vehicle;
• a processor configured to:
• identify at least one preceding vehicle which has a time of travel along the road segment which is before a current time, a time difference between the preceding vehicle time of travel and the current time being within an acceptable predetermined range, the preceding vehicle having a preceding vehicle characteristic;
• and
• determine by the server, the predicted driving condition for the current vehicle for the road segment, the predicted driving condition being based on the current vehicle characteristic of the current vehicle and the preceding vehicle characteristic of the preceding vehicle;
• a transmitter for transmitting, to the electronic device associated with the current vehicle before the current vehicle reaches the road segment, the predicted driving condition for the current vehicle on the road segment.
