Abstract

Some digital map applications include road incident reporting features that enable users to report incidents along a path that a user is traveling on. Such features require specific phrasing or manual selection of options on a device screen which can be cumbersome and distracting. This disclosure describes techniques that enable intuitive and safe road-incident reporting using hands-free, free-form natural language conversations within a digital map application. A reporting button on the user interface (or spoken command) of a digital map application enables users to start the reporting of incidents. A large language model is deployed to interpret the spoken incident description, classify the incident, and upload the incident to a database. Upon completion of reporting a confirmation message is provided to the user.
