Generation of travel-related reporting messages

A device comprising:

• a processor and associated memory configured to implement a travel message server, the travel message server comprising:
• at least one interface configured to receive travel-related-information messages (TRIMs) from one or more information sources;
• a load balancer configured to:
• separate information included in the TRIMs into at least two different groups by assigning a first type of information included in the TRIMs to a first group, and assigning a second type of information included in the TRIMs to a second group;
• determine a broadcast area to which the information included in the TRIMs is to be broadcast;
• determine that a subset of information assigned to the first group is to be reassigned to the second group;
• reassign the subset of information from the first group to the second group based on parameters associated with the broadcast area, wherein reassigning the subset of information from the first group to the second group based on parameters associated with the broadcast area includes:
• determining a geographic area associated with the information included in the TRIMS;
• and
• reassigning the subset of information based on the geographic area;
• and
• deliver information included in the first group and the second group to one or more processing modules configured to generate a first TRIM reporting message using information included in the first group and a second TRIM reporting message using information included in the second group.

A computer readable medium tangibly embodying a program of instructions, the program of instructions comprising:

• at least one instruction to receive travel-related-information messages (TRIMs) from one or more information sources;
• at least one instruction to separate information included in the TRIMs into at least two different groups by assigning a first type of information included in the TRIMs to a first group, and assigning a second type of information included in the TRIMs to a second group;
• at least one instruction to determine a broadcast area to which the information included in the TRIMs is to be broadcast;
• at least one instruction to determine that a subset of information assigned to the first group is to be reassigned to the second group;
• at least one instruction to reassign the subset of information from the first group to the second group based on parameters associated with the broadcast area;
• at least one instruction to deliver information included in the first group and the second group to one or more processing modules configured to generate a first TRIM reporting message using information included in the first group and a second TRIM reporting message using information included in the second group;
• wherein the at least one instruction to reassign the subset of information from the first group to the second group based on parameters associated with the broadcast area includes:
• at least one instruction to determine geographic areas associated with the information included in the TRIMs;
• at least one instruction to reassign a first subset of the subset of information assigned to the first group, based on the geographic areas, during a first reporting period;
• and
• at least one instruction to reassign a different subset of the subset of information assigned to the first group, based on the geographic areas, during a subsequent reporting period.
