Abstract
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.
