The disclosure is directed to improving driving experience by determining and providing a personalized estimated time of arrival (ETA). For example, using at least one computing device, driving data associated with a user may be collected and stored in memory. The at least one computing device may also be used to receive ETA-related data including one or more real time ETA estimations, perform analysis on one or more of the driving data and the ETA-related data so as to determine a set of personalized parameters of a mapping function that correspond to a training set. The at least one computing device may also be used to determine the personalized ETA based at least in part on the determined set of personalized parameters and provided to the user.

Method and system for determining and providing a personalized ETA with privacy preservation

An example approach is provided for providing recommendations to a user based on user's role derived from the context information and an advanced user profile. A recommendation platform processes context information to determine one or more roles associated with a user. Next, the recommendation platform calculates at least one level of similarity between the one or more roles and one or more other roles associated with one or more other users. Then, the recommendation platform determines recommendation information associated with the one or more other users based, at least in part, on the at least one level of similarity. Next, the recommendation platform processes the recommendation information to generate one or more recommendations for the user.
