Abstract

Systems and approaches relate to, inter alia, identifying customer opportunities. The systems and approaches may monitor a plurality of routes traversed by a vehicle. The systems and approaches may then access historical route data for the plurality travel routes. The systems and approaches may further calculate a risk index based on the historical route data, and determine at least one customer opportunity based on the calculated risk index.
