Russian Navigator Learns to Adapt to Drivers’ Habits
Artificial intelligence now builds personalized routes based on context and driving history.
Yandex Maps and Yandex Navigator have introduced personalized routing powered by artificial intelligence, the company’s press service said.
AI-generated routes are tailored to individual drivers. A machine learning model analyzes routing options along with aggregated data on how a specific user interacts with the service. The algorithm takes into account how often a driver changes routes, where they tend to travel most frequently, and the distances they typically cover.
Looking at Driving History
For new drivers, instead of the default fastest route, the system may suggest a simpler path with fewer complex interchanges and left turns. For routine trips, such as commuting from home to work, the model can prioritize familiar roads. When traveling across the city, it may offer alternative options, including routes through the center or bypass roads.
So far, the services can recommend more than 10 types of personalized routes, with additional variations planned in the future.
