WeatherWay

  • WeatherWay was created to prevent accidents by using weather predictions with accidents history

  • Nowadays there are many apps to help you move through the city faster. Time is money, right? NO

  • Our algorithm joins multiple “The Weather Company” API’s with Car Accident Databases to answer a simple question:

    Would you arrive 20 minutes late to your meeting to save your life?

  • WeatherWay provides you the safest route to your next appointment on a frictionless way

  • Our algorithm works with a database of 115,572 accidents were compared with 5 years of weather history so we could know what areas of the city are affected by the weather on a way that causes accidents. Based on that, we trace a better and safer route for you

Numbers on Weather-Related vehicle crashes

  • There are nearly 1,312,000 crashes every year, which is 23% of the total vehicle accidents
  • 6,250 people are killed and over 480,000 people are injured each year
  • 74% of those crashes happen on wet pavement
