Abstract
The present techniques disclose, in at least one embodiment, a method of generating route instructions, the method comprising: receiving, at a control system, route requests from a plurality of users; selecting, at the control system, paths from one or more path networks to satisfy the respective route requests, wherein the paths are selected based, at least in part, on or responsive to one or more path criteria for the respective paths; generating, at the control system, route instructions for the respective route requests, wherein the route instructions comprise the selected paths; transmitting, from the control system to the plurality of users, the respective route instructions.
Claims20
A method of generating route instructions, the method comprising:
- electronically
- receiving, at a control system, route requests from a plurality of users comprising a first user and a second user, wherein the route requests comprise user preference data for the first and second users, respectively;
- selecting, at the control system, paths from one or more path networks to satisfy the respective route requests, wherein the paths are selected to affect utilization of path capacity of paths in the one or more path networks, and wherein at least one path in the paths selected to satisfy a route request for the first user is selected in accordance with user preference data of the first user and wherein at least one path in the paths selected to satisfy a route request for the second user is selected contrary to user preference data of the second user;
- generating, at the control system, route instructions for the respective route requests, wherein the route instructions comprise the selected paths;
- and
- transmitting, from the control system to the plurality of users, the respective route instructions.
A control system comprising:
- a processor coupled to a memory, the control system to:
- select paths from one or more path networks to satisfy route requests to be received from a plurality of users, wherein the route requests comprise user preference data for respective users of the plurality of users, wherein the paths are to be selected based, at least in part, on or responsive to one or more path criteria for the respective paths and to affect utilization of path capacity of paths in the one or more path networks wherein at least one path of the one or more paths is selected contrary to user preference data of at least one user of the plurality of users;
- generate route instructions for the respective route requests, wherein the route instructions are to comprise the selected paths;
- and transmit the route instructions through to the plurality of users.
A method of implementing route instructions at a route device of a network comprising two or more route devices, the method comprising:
- transmitting, from route device to a control system, a route request comprising a request for directions from an origin location to a destination location;
- receiving, at the route device, route instructions comprising one or more paths, the one or more paths being selected based, at least in part, on or responsive to one or more path criteria and to affect utilization of path capacity of paths in one or more path networks;
- wherein at least one path of the one or more paths is contrary to user preference data of the route device;
- and
- implementing, at the first route device, the route instructions.
