Abstract:
1. An automated location-intelligent traffic advisory system comprising at least one server in communication with at least one database of subscriber data, wherein the location-intelligent traffic advisory system has a location determination system that is configured to electronically determine speed, direction and geographic location of respective subscribers, the subscribers having an associated electronic device with a GPS receiver, wherein the location determination system determines whether a subscriber is in a geographically relevant place associated with an adverse traffic incident, congestion or other low-drivability condition based on the determined location, direction of travel and speed of a respective subscriber, and wherein the location-intelligent traffic advisory system electronically notifies only subscribers identified as being in the geographically relevant place of an adverse traffic incident, congestion or other low-drivability condition without the notified subscribers having to pre-select the geographically relevant place for monitoring for an adverse traffic incident, congestion or other low-drivability condition.
