Claims20
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a database that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising
- determining a direction of travel and a geographic location associated with a mobile device,
- identifying a travel route based upon the direction of travel and the geographic location associated with the mobile device, the travel route comprising a roadway,
- determining that a traffic condition exists on the roadway and a location of the traffic condition, and
- determining a drivability associated with the roadway based upon the traffic condition and the location of the traffic condition.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- determining a direction of travel and a geographic location associated with a mobile device;
- identifying a travel route based upon the direction of travel and the geographic location associated with the mobile device, the travel route comprising a roadway;
- determining that a traffic condition exists on the roadway and a location of the traffic condition;
- and
- determining a drivability associated with the roadway based upon the traffic condition and the location of the traffic condition.
The non-transitory computer readable medium of 9, wherein the traffic condition comprises traffic congestion.
A method comprising:
- determining, at a system comprising a traffic monitoring service, a direction of travel and a geographic location associated with a mobile device;
- identifying, by the system, a travel route based upon the direction of travel and the geographic location associated with the mobile device, the travel route comprising a roadway;
- determining, by the system, that a traffic condition exists on the roadway and a location of the traffic condition;
- and
- determining, by the system, a drivability associated with the roadway based upon the traffic condition and the location of the traffic condition.
