The present invention relates to a system and method for gathering and
analyzing data related to travel conditions and generating and sending a
message explaining the travel conditions to one or more travelers. The
present invention includes a travel conditions analyzer which accesses
data and information from several different databases such as weather
condition websites and travel websites. The data and information from the
databases is analyzed and predictions on travel delays are made based on
the data and information. A messaging tool determines a group of
travelers that are affected by the adverse travel conditions. Then the
messaging tool generates a message based on the travel conditions and
sends the message to one or more affected travelers. The affected
travelers can therefore change their travel plans or make other
arrangements as needed based on the information contained in the message.
Thus, the present invention significantly minimizes the inconveniences
caused to travelers due to adverse travel conditions.
