Patent attributes
Methods, systems and computer program products for providing notifications to drivers based on observed local driver patterns are provided. Aspects include storing a number of times that each driver travels across a road segment and classifying the drivers as local drivers for the road segment if the number of times the driver traversed the road segment is greater than a threshold number. Aspects also include determining an expected driving pattern for the road segment. Based on a determination that a local driver deviated from the expected driving pattern, aspects include storing an indication of how the local driver deviated from the expected driving pattern and a condition at that time. Based on a determination that greater than a threshold percentage of local drivers deviated from the expected driving pattern, aspects include notifying a driver traversing the road segment of a variant driving pattern for the road segment.
