Abstract

Disclosed are vehicle communications networks for adapting user information using crowd-sensed contextual data, computer-executable instructions for provisioning such content/information, and vehicles equipped with a telematics system for adapting driver information using contextual data from vehicle participatory sensing systems. A disclosed method for provisioning information to occupants of a motor vehicle includes determining trip characteristics, including vehicle and driver data, for a current trip of the vehicle, and determining trip characteristics for previous trips that correspond to the current trip. The vehicle's communications system receives, over a distributed computer network from a vehicle participatory sensing system aggregating data from participative vehicles, operational data for the current trip as sensed by the participative vehicles. The received operational data is analyzed with the current and previous trip characteristics to determine a predicted trip duration and/or a predicted trip route. An electronic user interface of the vehicle outputs the predicted trip duration and/or route.
