Patent ID: 7546206

Claim:
A computer-implemented method of providing a suggested transportation route, the method comprising: (a) receiving operational parameters, wherein the operational parameters include non-weather related parameters; (b) obtaining at least one transportation route corresponding to the operational parameters; (c) receiving weather data; (d) identifying a first set of suggested transportation routes by applying the weather data to the at least one transportation route obtained in step (b), wherein the weather data is used to identify an impact of a weather condition along the at least one transportation route obtained in step (b); (e) presenting the first set of suggested transportation routes to a user; (f) receiving an indication from the user of an alteration of at least one aspect of the operational parameters; and (g) presenting a second set of suggested transportation routes based on a probabilistic determination of the impact of the alteration on the first set of suggested transportation routes, wherein the probabilistic determination includes an analysis of the effect, as a result of the alteration, of the weather data on the first set of suggested transportation routes.
