Abstract
A method, apparatus, and user interface for providing a carjacking detection and prediction system is disclosed. For example, image data of at least one vehicle may be obtained and a carjacking indicator for the vehicle based on the obtained image data is determined. One or more road segments may then be identified, and the determined indicator is associated with the one or more identified road segments to update a map layer of a geographic database and/or perform other actions.
Claims20
A method for providing a carjacking prediction system comprising:
- obtaining image data of at least one vehicle and vehicle surroundings;
- determining a carjacking indicator based on the obtained image data;
- identifying one or more road segments;
- and
- associating the determined carjacking indicator with the one or more identified road segments to update a map layer of a geographic database.
An apparatus configured to predict a carjacking, the apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory storing computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
- obtain image data of at least one vehicle and vehicle surroundings;
- determine a carjacking indicator based on the obtained image data;
- identify one or more road segments;
- and
- associate the determined carjacking indicator with the one or more identified road segments to update a map layer of a geographic database.
A user interface for providing a user with a route to a destination, comprising the steps of:
- receiving input upon a user device that indicates a destination;
- accessing a geographic database to obtain data that represent roads in a region in which the user device operates;
- determining a route to the destination by selecting road segments to form a continuous path to the destination;
- and
- displaying the determined route or portion thereof to the user,
- wherein the determined route avoids at least one road segment in response to a determined carjacking indicator for at least one vehicle.
