Abstract

Methods, computer-readable media, systems, and apparatuses for determining a safest road segment for traveling between two locations are provided. In some cases, a road segment safety rating may be determined for a plurality of road segments between the two locations based on historical data associated with the road segments and/or based on driving behavior data of an operator of the vehicle. An indication of the road segment determined as being the safest may be provided to the operator of the vehicle. An actual route of travel of the vehicle may be compared to the safest route. If the actual route of travel is different from the determined safest route, the operator may be notified that an award may be earned when the determined safest route is traveled. If the actual route of travel is determined to be safer than the determined safest route, an award may be earned.
