## Abstract

A transportation system for generating transportation recommendations may (1) receive a transportation request associated with a user; (2) identify, using the transportation request, a first location and a second location associated with the transportation request; (3) determine, using the first location and the second location, routes between the first location and the second location; (4) receive travel data associated with each of the plurality of the routes, the travel data including information indicating a current or predicted future travel condition along each of the routes; (5) generate, using historic transportation characteristics associated with the user and the travel data, a safety or other score for each route, the score indicating an estimated level of safety of traveling along the route; and/or (6) generate a user interface providing indicators associated with the scores of the routes.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The transportation system of claim 1, wherein the current or predicted future travel conditions indicate at least one of a traveler speed along a route, a frequency of traveler lane changes along a route, a frequency of traveler acceleration along a route, and a frequency of traveler deceleration along a route.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The transportation system of claim 1, wherein the operations comprise:
receiving travel data associated with the user, the travel data indicating a real-time travel characteristic associated with the user, the real-time travel characteristic including a current transportation speed of the user compared to an average transportation speed associated with the user; and
wherein generating the risk scores for each of the plurality of routes includes generating the risk scores for each of the plurality of routes using the travel data associated with the user.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The transportation system of claim 1, wherein the operations comprise:
providing a recommended route of the plurality of routes, wherein the recommended route has a risk score indicating a lowest estimated risk of the estimated risks of traveling along each of the plurality of routes.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The transportation system of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise:
receiving user travel data including geolocation information of the user as the first travels between the first geographic location and the second geographic location; and
comparing the user travel data with historical travel data associated with the plurality of routes to verify a recommended route.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The transportation system of claim 7, wherein the operations further comprise:
providing, using the verification of the recommended route, the user interface including at least one insurance policy parameter associated with opting to travel along the recommended route.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The transportation system of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise:
receiving a user preference indicating a relative preference between travel characteristics associated with traveling between the first geographic location and the second geographic location; and
