## Background
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to the field of navigation, and more particularly to traffic re-routing.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information anywhere on Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. The GPS location and time information is available to anyone with a GPS receiver, sometimes referred to as a GPS navigation device or system. A GPS receiver may display maps, turn-by-turn directions, traffic congestion maps and suggested alternative directions, and/or information on nearby amenities and attractions.
A GPS receiver may provide a user with route directions. A GPS receiver may also reroute a user if changing driving conditions or route information render the user's current route not optimal. A navigation system's re-routing algorithms are based on traffic patterns, congestion, or construction, and can re-route a vehicle in order to a faster route by avoiding the congested area.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Embodiments of the present invention further recognize that an optimal (e.g., fastest or shortest) route may be affected by factors other than traffic patterns, congestion, and construction, such as emergency events. Embodiments of the present invention provide for monitoring emergency events based on 911 phone calls or by monitoring police dispatches and dispatch centers. An emergency situation or event, such as a fire or car accident, may disrupt the flow of traffic, in which case a navigation system can re-route a vehicle to avoid the emergency event, or to route the vehicle to the emergency event.
Embodiments of the present invention recognize that in 911 emergency situations, those at the scene of the emergency may benefit from additional medical personnel and other service individuals or vehicles that may be nearby. Vehicles in which these nearby responders are traveling may be routed towards the emergency scene to help. Embodiments of the present invention recognize that current navigation systems do not re-route in response to 911 or emergency transmission. Embodiments of the present invention also recognize that current navigation systems neither re-route based on passenger- nor vehicle-specific information nor re-route vehicles towards an emergency scene based on vehicle properties. Embodiments of the present invention alert individuals who may be able to assist at an emergency scene and re-route them, using GPS, toward the scene and allow those who should avoid the scene to be re-routed away so as to not disrupt the flow of traffic.
The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the Figures. FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram illustrating a distributed data processing environment, generally designated 100, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Data processing environment 100 includes vehicle 110, re-routing system 140, emergency dispatch system 150, and vehicle registry 160, all interconnected over network 130. Network 130 is a medium used to provide communication links between various devices and computers connected within data processing environment 100. Network 130 may be, for example, a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN) such as the Internet, any combination thereof, or any combination of connections and protocols that will support communications between GPS receiver 120, re-routing system 140, emergency dispatch system 150, and vehicle registry 160, in accordance with embodiments of the present invention. FIG. 1 is intended as an illustrative example and not as an architectural limitation for the present invention.
Vehicle 110 is any mobile machine that transports passengers or cargo. Vehicle 110 may be, for example, a motorized vehicle, such as an automobile, bus, truck, motorcycle, boat, helicopter, or airplane. In other embodiments, vehicle 110 may be a non-motorized method of transportation, such as bicycle, stroller, or carriage. In yet other embodiments, vehicle 110 may be an individual walking, running, or otherwise moving, provided the individual is moving with GPS receiver 120.
Vehicle 110 includes Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver 120. GPS receiver 120 may be, for example, a laptop computer, tablet computer, personal computer (PC), smart phone, cellular phone, a dedicated global positioning system device, or any programmable electronic device capable of communicating with the Global Positioning System and re-routing system 140 via network 130. In general, GPS receiver 120 may be any computing system capable of processing program instructions and receiving data from the Global Positioning System and re-routing system 140. In the depicted example GPS receiver 120 is located inside vehicle 110. In one embodiment, GPS receiver 120 may be a built in feature of vehicle 110. In other embodiments, GPS receiver 120 may be a separate device (not shown) capable of being relocated to other vehicles, such as a smart phone.
Emergency dispatch system 150 is any system capable of receiving, sending, and otherwise communicating real-time emergency information with re-routing system 140 via network 130. In some embodiments, emergency dispatch system 150 may directly receive emergency information, such as from individuals phoning a number for emergency services (e.g., 911 in some geographical regions), which is sometimes referred to as an emergency dispatch center or public safety answering point. In other embodiments, emergency dispatch system 150 may receive emergency information from another source. Emergency information can refer to accidents, crimes, and other situations that may pose a risk to health, life, property, and/or the environment.
Vehicle registry 160 is a record keeping device that maintains information on vehicles and their operators in order to facilitate appropriate re-routing in accordance with embodiments of the present invention. Vehicle registry 160 may be any web document, program, list, database, catalog, or any other system capable of storing vehicle information and information associated with those vehicles (e.g., owner, owner occupation). Vehicle registry 160 may store information about any vehicle, such as vehicle 110, the typical operators of vehicle 110, and the properties of vehicle 110 (for example, if a snow plow has been appended to the vehicle). This information is located within vehicle registry 160 as registry items 165. In various embodiments, vehicle registry 160 may be a management server, a web server, or any other electronic device or computing system capable of processing program instructions, receiving data, and sending data. The information contained in vehicle registry 160 may be input by the vehicle user, vehicle manufacturer, or any combination of sources. Vehicle registry 160 may receive vehicle information from manual or digital user input or from other databases and may receive information from a combination of sources. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, vehicle registry 160 is capable of communicating with re-routing system 140 via network 130.
Re-routing system 140 may be a management server, web server, or any other electronic device or computing system capable of processing program instructions and receiving and sending data. In some embodiments, re-routing system 140 may be a laptop computer, tablet computer, personal computer, desktop computer, or any programmable electronic device capable of communicating with GPS receiver 120, emergency dispatch system 150, and vehicle registry 160. In other embodiments, re-routing system 140 may be a server computing system utilizing multiple computers as a service system, such as in a cloud environment. In another embodiment, re-routing system 140 may be a computing system utilizing clustered computers and components to act as a single pool of seamless resources when accessed over network 130. In various embodiments, re-routing system 140 may include components, as depicted and described in further detail with respect to FIG. 3.
Re-routing system 140 contains re-routing program 145. Re-routing program 145 receives real-time emergency information from emergency dispatch system 150 and GPS receiver 120, correlates the information received with information stored in vehicle registry 160, and sends navigation information to GPS receiver 120 via network 130. In one embodiment, re-routing program 145 may change or recommend changes to the route provided by GPS receiver 120. In some embodiments, re-routing program 145 may make vehicle and user specific determinations to instruct GPS receiver 120 to direct vehicle 110 to the scene of an emergency or away from the scene of an emergency. For example, in some embodiments, re-routing system 140 may determine that an emergency requires a paramedic, and vehicle registry 160 may contain information that a particular vehicle's owner is a paramedic. In one embodiment, re-routing program 145 is capable of making vehicle specific navigation recommendations by using information stored in vehicle registry 160. In this embodiment, re-routing program 145 transmits route directions to the paramedic's GPS receiver (i.e. GPS receiver 120) that direct the paramedic to the scene of the emergency while navigating other vehicles (without paramedic passengers) away from the scene of the accident.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating operational steps of re-routing program 145, executing within data processing environment 100, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Re-routing program 145 gathers real-time information from emergency dispatch system 150, real-time location information from GPS receiver 120, and vehicle information from vehicle registry 160 to determine how vehicle 110 should be routed.
In step 200, re-routing program 145 receives real-time emergency information from emergency dispatch system 150. Emergency dispatch system 150 may transmit emergency or accident information based on human input (e.g., a bystander phoning a 911 dispatch center to report an accident) or other sources, such as alerts received from police. In some embodiments, non-human input may indicate the presence of an emergency to emergency dispatch system 150 (for example, a power outage or a car alarm being activated).
In step 210, re-routing program 145 identifies vehicle location and direction of travel, vehicle passenger information (e.g., skills and expertise of passengers), and vehicle information (e.g., type of vehicle and capabilities). Re-routing program 145 identifies vehicle location and path direction information by communicating with GPS receiver 120 via network 130. Re-routing program 145 identifies vehicle passenger and specification information by communicating with vehicle registry 160 via network 130. For example, vehicle registry 160 may contain information about a sedan. Vehicle registry 160 may catalog that the sedan is primarily driven by a doctor with a nurse as a secondary driver. Re-routing program 145 identifies this information (that the vehicle is driven by a doctor or a nurse) by communicating with vehicle registry 160 via network 130. Vehicle registry 160 may also contain information about the vehicle itself. For example, vehicle registry 160 may include that the vehicle has an attached snow plow. Vehicle registry 160 may contain any information about vehicle 110 relevant to emergency situations. For example, vehicle registry 160 may identify resources of vehicle 110, such as the skills and expertise of the driver and any passengers, the type and capabilities of the vehicle, and pieces of equipment. In various examples, a piece of equipment may be a defibrillator, a hydraulic car jack, a towing chain, or any other device or piece of equipment that may be required by an emergency condition. In another embodiment, vehicle 110 is a pedestrian who has a device with GPS capabilities (i.e., GPS receiver 120). In this case, the pedestrian may have resources such as skills and expertise or pieces of equipment (e.g., a first aid kit).
In decision 230, re-routing program 145 determines whether vehicle 110 should be re-routed. Re-routing program 145 makes this determination based on the received emergency, location, vehicle, and passenger information. In some embodiments, re-routing information may be stored in vehicle registry 160 or in another registry or repository so long as re-routing information may be accessed by re-routing system 140 via network 130. In some embodiments, re-routing program 145 may determine which vehicle or passenger characteristics should be directed to the scene of the emergency and re-route vehicles within a certain distance to the scene. In some embodiments, re-routing program 145 may identify vehicles on a path direction towards the scene of the accident and then access that vehicle's information from vehicle registry 160. In some embodiments, re-routing program 145 may perform both steps at or around the same time.
For example, re-routing program 145 may receive information that an accident occurred at an intersection. Re-routing program 145 receives information from emergency dispatch system 150 that the emergency scene requires resources including two paramedics and one fire truck. Re-routing program 145 receives information from vehicle registry 160 and several GPS receivers (e.g., GPS receiver 120) that, within a one-mile radius, are two paramedics in two different automobiles, one fireman in an automobile, and one fireman in a fire truck. In this embodiment, re-routing program 145 determines that the two paramedics and the fireman in the fire truck should be re-routed to the emergency scene, and that the fireman in an automobile should be re-routed away from the emergency scene.
In other embodiments, re-routing program 145 may identify vehicles on a path towards the emergency scene that should be re-routed away from the emergency scene by communicating with GPS receivers (e.g., GPS receiver 120) and vehicle registry 160. Re-routing program 145 determines a new route for each of the vehicles that avoid the emergency scene. In some embodiments, re-routing program 145 may offer these re-routes to the vehicle passengers such that the vehicle passenger(s) must select to be re-routed. In other embodiments, re-routing program 145 may automatically re-route vehicles. In other embodiments still, re-routing program 145 may prompt the vehicle passenger for information that is not contained in vehicle registry 160. For example, a vehicle may be carrying a paramedic who does not normally use the vehicle. In such an embodiment, re-routing program 145 prompts the passenger (i.e., through GPS receiver 120 or a text message) for relevant passenger information (e.g., “are you a paramedic?” or “does your vehicle contain a first aid kit?”) and determines whether to re-route the vehicle based on the answers provided. In some embodiments, re-routing program 145 may rely entirely on vehicle user input or other information to determine if a vehicle should be re-routed.
Re-routing program 145 may determine whether a vehicle should be re-routed using a number of tactics. For example, re-routing program 145 may store vehicle and passenger information in a feature vector (e.g., as registry items 165). Vector or statistical analysis may be performed on the feature vectors in order to determine a confidence level for whether a vehicle should be re-routed. For example, re-routing program 145 may include a threshold value (e.g., 60% confidence) such that if the results of a particular statistical analysis performed on the feature vector return a confidence level of greater than 60% confidence that the vehicle should be re-routed toward or away from the emergency scene, then re-routing program 145 will transmit re-routing instructions to vehicle 110. Other algorithms or a combination of algorithms may be used in order to determine if the vehicle should be re-routed. For example, re-routing program 145 may use a classification algorithm, matrix factorization, or clustering algorithm.
In some embodiments, re-routing program 145 may create an emergency registry to catalog various emergency situations in which specific personnel and vehicles are typically needed. In such an embodiment, re-routing program 145 can cross-reference passenger and vehicle information with the information stored in the registry, like vehicle registry 160. For example, an emergency registry may store data specifying that, in the event of a two car front end collision, the preferred responders are police, off duty police, EMTs, off-duty doctors, and off duty nurses. Re-routing program 145 may then analyze the identified passenger information for passengers near the scene to identify relevant passengers for re-routing. The emergency registry may also include a hierarchy for re-routing the desired personnel. For example, re-routing program 145 may first search for a police officer, then an off-duty police officer, etc.
For example, an accident may have occurred at a certain location with an EMT vehicle carrying an EMT and a van carrying an off-duty medical doctor nearby. In such an example, re-routing program 145 determines that both vehicles are relevant because both carry medical personnel, but if re-routing system 140 re-routed both vehicles towards the accident it may be redundant. In such an embodiment, re-routing program 145 would compare the features of the two vehicles so that re-routing program 145 can determine which of the vehicles to re-route to the accident scene.
If re-routing program 145 determines that the vehicle should be re-routed (decision 230, yes branch), re-routing program 145 will communicate with GPS receiver 120 via network 130 to re-route vehicle 110 (step 240). Re-routing program 145 re-routes vehicles away from the scene of the emergency or towards the scene of the emergency depending on determinations made above. In some embodiments, re-routing program 145 will communicate with GPS receiver 120 such that the verbal or visual map instructions change. In other embodiments, re-routing program 145 will communicate with GPS receiver 120 such that GPS receiver 120 is able to prompt the user to decide whether the vehicle user would like to be re-routed. In some embodiments, re-routing program 145 determines if the vehicle should be re-routed using a machine learning algorithm. If re-routing program 145 determines that the vehicle 110 should not be re-routed (decision 230, no branch), then re-routing program 145 does not transmit any re-routing instructions or prompts to GPS receiver 120, and GPS receiver 120 maintains the current route, unless altered by an outside source (e.g., a passenger in the vehicle).
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of components of the computing device executing operations for re-routing vehicles, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, FIG. 3 is a block diagram of re-routing system 140 within data processing environment 100 executing operations of re-routing program 145.
