Create a Vehicle-Aware Routing System for Waze
The Waze Team should consider incorporating a feature that can detect a user’s vehicle and its specifications, such as its height and weight, and to use that data when generating routes. Incidents such as over-height trucks striking low bridges, overweight vehicles damaging roads, and large trucks being directed into streets that are too narrow could be significantly prevented through this vehicle-aware routing. Implementing this would be a significant step towards leveraging emerging technologies to improve user experience and safety in a way that other GPS systems currently fail to account for.
