Aspects include detecting, at a first point in time, that a first person at a first location is within a vicinity of one or more other people and predicting, for each of the one or more people, a future location of the other person at a future point. The future point in time is subsequent to the first point in time and a confidence level is assigned to the prediction. A travel route from the first location to a destination location is generated based at least in part on the one or more predicted future locations and their assigned confidence levels. The generated travel route includes travel route locations that are more than a specified distance from at least one of the predicted future locations having an assigned confidence level greater than a confidence level threshold. Travel route guidance along the generated travel route is provided to the first person.
