Routing in navigation applications based on restorative score

Description

An embodiment may involve obtaining data representing a transportation map, a greenspace map, a noise map, and a crime map of a geographical location. The transportation map represents route segments within the geographical location, the greenspace map represents natural features within the geographical location, the noise map represents human-made noise within the geographical location, and the crime map represents reported crimes within the geographical location. The embodiment may also involve, for each of the route segments: (i) calculating a restorative score that is proportional to an amount of natural features associated with the respective route segment in the greenspace map, inversely proportional to an amount of human-made noise associated with the respective route segment in the noise map, and inversely proportional to an amount of crime associated with the respective route segment in the crime map.
