1. A method comprising:
receiving a request for a transportation plan for a user, wherein the request comprises a starting point and an ending point for a route;
generating a set of potential transportation plans for the route;
determining an impact of a subset of plans in the set of potential transportation plans;
estimating, by a processing device of a transportation analysis system, a likelihood of acceptance of the subset of plans in the set of potential transportation plans based on personal preference of the user;
selecting, by the processing device, an influence strategy based on inference over user data of a user model;
generating, by the processing device, a message recommending a selected plan from the subset of plans for the user, wherein the message is generated based on the selected influence strategy and wherein the selected transportation plan is provided to and utilized by a navigation system of a user device associated with the user;
receiving, from the user device, an indication that the user did not accept the selected transportation plan; and
updating the user model based on the user not accepting the selected transportation plan, wherein after being updated, the user model is used to generate an updated selected transportation plan, wherein the updated selected transportation plan is provided to and utilized by the navigation system.
