Abstract
A system and method for providing a suggested modification to road characteristics is provided. Signals indicating locations of several users are received at different points in time. A flow of traffic corresponding to the several users is determined based on an analysis of the locations of the several users at the different points in time. A high traffic area is identified in the determined flow of traffic by comparing the determined flow of traffic with a predetermined baseline flow of traffic. Road characteristics in the identified high traffic area are analyzed and a suggested modification to at least one of the road characteristics based on the analyzing of the road characteristics is provided.
