Aspects of the present disclosure include a navigation system and computer-implemented methods for proactively re-routing vehicles based on an analysis of input component data obtained from the navigation-enabled devices. The navigation system scores the input component data to obtain a measure of frustration (e.g., a feeling of being upset or annoyed) of the user of the navigation-enabled device. The navigation system may provide a detour suggestion for display on the navigation-enabled device to persuade the user of the device to direct their vehicle to depart from its current location or route in an effort to remove the vehicle from traffic, and thereby reduce the frustration level of the user. The detour suggestion may include an alternative route to the original destination, or an alternative destination.

The disclosed technology provides solutions for facilitating the selection of a parking space by a user of a parking application. A process of the disclosed technology can include steps for monitoring sensor data and location data associated with a user device, retrieving, based on the location data associated with a user device, listing data associated with one or more parking spaces in a vicinity of the user device, and capturing image data that includes at least a portion of the one or more parking spaces. In some aspects, the process may further include steps for overlaying one or more graphical objects onto the image data, wherein the one or more graphical objects are based on the listing data associated with the one or more parking spaces. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

A disclosed voice guidance device or server device includes a route information acquisition unit, a position information acquisition unit, a voice guiding unit, and a notification unit. The route information acquisition unit is configured to acquire route information indicative of a route on which a moving body travels. The position information acquisition unit is configured to acquire position information of the moving body. The voice guiding unit is configured to perform a voice guidance relating to the route. The notification unit is configured to perform a notification by voice that the moving body is traveling along the route, if the moving body is travelling along the route and the voice guiding unit has not performed the voice guidance during travel of the moving body for a predetermined distance or for a predetermined amount of time.

An apparatus comprising an interface, a memory and a processor. The interface may be configured to receive sensor data samples during operation of a vehicle. The memory may be configured to store the sensor data samples over a number of points in time. The processor may be configured to analyze the sensor data samples stored in the memory to detect a pattern. The processor may be configured to manage an application of brakes of the vehicle in response to the pattern.

In some implementations, a mobile device can transmit traffic information to a server for analysis. The traffic information can include movement information including detected stops and durations of detected stops. The traffic information can be analyzed to detect traffic patterns that indicate locations of stop signs and/or stop lights. The traffic information can be analyzed to determine durations of stops at stop signs and/or stop lights. The durations of stops can be associated with a time of day and/or day of the week. In some implementations, navigational routes can be determined based stop sign and/or stop light information, including the delays attributable to detected stop signs and/or stop lights.

To statistically analyze information on the path of ra movement of a moving body. An information analysis device includes a communication unit that receives position information for a vehicle, a memory unit that stores map information pertaining to roads over which the vehicle can travel and position information concerning facilities, a visit frequency calculator that calculates the frequency at which the vehicle visits a facility on the basis of facility information concerning the facility, and a travel path specification unit that specifies the vehicle that has made a plurality of visits to the facility on the basis of the results of calculations made by the visit frequency calculator and specifies the travel path to the facility for the specified vehicle from the position information and the map information pertaining to the roads.

An information system includes an in-vehicle terminal that is mounted on a host vehicle and a server that communicates with the in-vehicle terminal. The server includes a running history DB in which a running history of the host vehicle is stored for each driver, a driving skill-level determination unit, a driving skill-level DB in which a driving skill-level determined by the driving skill-level determination unit is stored, and a distribution information control unit that distributes driving assistance information based on the driving skill-level stored in the driving skill-level DB to the in-vehicle terminal. The driving skill-level determination unit determines a driving skill-level of a driver based on the running history stored in the running history DB and a driving skill element definition list representing a difficulty level of driving predefined for each driving skill element.

A computer-implemented method of providing personalized route information involves gathering a plurality of past location indicators over time for a wireless client device, determining a future driving objective using the plurality of previously-gathered location indicators, obtaining real-time traffic data for an area proximate to the determined driving objective, and generating a suggested route for the driving objective using the near real-time traffic data.

The driving assistance device acquires, from an autonomous driving controller that determines an action of a vehicle during autonomous driving of the vehicle, action information indicating a first action that the vehicle is caused to execute. The driving assistance device acquires, from a detector that detects a surrounding situation and a travel state of the vehicle, detection information indicating a detection result. The driving assistance device determines a second action which is executable in place of the first action, based on the detection information. The driving assistance device generates a first image representing the first action and a second image representing the second action. The driving assistance device outputs the first image and the second image to a notification device such that the first image and the second image are displayed within a fixed field of view of a driver of the vehicle.
