Systems and methods for generating and using dynamic and localized route-based environmental information

Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for generating localized environmental information along a route of travel are generally described, for example, to notify users of travel conditions along a specific route and/or to generate alternative routes based on the environmental conditions. In some embodiments, an environmental information route mapping system may generate environmental maps configured to graphically display a route of travel and associated environmental conditions along the route of travel at certain travel times. In some embodiments, the environmental route maps may be configured to include alternative routes based on the environmental conditions along a route path, such as an alternative route configured to avoid an area associated with an actual or predicted hazardous or otherwise undesirable environmental condition.
