SAFETY-AWARE ROUTE RECOMMENDATION SYSTEM AND METHOD

Various embodiments comprise systems, methods, architectures, mechanisms, and apparatus providing location safety management implemented by cooperating mobile devices that operate in a privacy-secured manner to identify respective proximate infectious areas, build corresponding local datasets of the infectious areas, and share the datasets or relevant portions thereof with each other, such as in response to hierarchical location-based requests for such data. The datasets may be used to adapt the operation of navigation applications and the like so as to avoid routes, seats or locations associated with infectious areas and/or persons.
