Abstract

The general structure of the map routing systems produced for ease of access to the destination point determined by the users in the route planning and guidance is based on the temporal cost improvement. Existing systems are intended to deliver users to the destination as quickly as possible. However, the route, which was created to provide temporal improvement, allows transitions from unsafe areas, and therefore users may face a security problem when following the created route. In this article, it is aimed to develop a new route suggestion method based on safety parameters in order to ensure the safety of the users while creating a transportation route to the destination. In addition to the estimated distance information used by the current applications, crime rates of the regions on the designated route are defined as a parameter and then used in heuristic function.
