Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for time-based multiple automobile travel coordination. Aspects include creating a travel coordination group having at least two participants and obtaining a current position and a destination location for each of the at least two participants. Aspects also include determining an estimated travel time for each of the at least two participants based at least in part on the current position and the destination location for each of the at least two participants. Aspects further include coordinating travel plans for each of the at least two participants based at least in part on the estimated travel time of each of the at least two participants, wherein the coordination includes determining a departure time for each of the at least two participants such that each of the at least two participants will arrive at the destination location within a threshold amount of time from one another.
