Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for generating a display of one or more multi-dimensional navigation scores. The data source device may comprise a data source computer and a database storing historical data or real time data associated with a plurality of segments of road. A map data processing device may have a map data processing computer and memory storing computer-executable instructions. The map data processing device may determine a geographical location based on a location determining device, determine a segment of road associated with the geographical location, and/or receive, from the data source device, one or more of the historical data or real time data for the segment of road. The map data processing device may determine a threshold navigation score for the segment of road, determine, using the one or more of the historical data or real time data, a multi-dimensional navigation score for the segment of road, and/or determine whether the multi-dimensional navigation score for the segment of road exceeds the threshold navigation score. Based on the determination of whether the multi-dimensional navigation score for the segment of road exceeds the threshold navigation score, the map data processing device may generate a display of the multi-dimensional navigation score.
