Abstract
A pedestrian route can be segmented into at least one pedestrian walking segment using location information of transportation resources. An estimated transit time for the pedestrian route can be determined as a function of an estimated transit time of the at least one pedestrian walking segment, an estimated wait time for the transportation resource to arrive at the user determined using received status real-time location and movement information of the transportation resource and the determined estimated transit time for the at least one pedestrian walking segment, and an estimated transit time for the transportation resource to transport the user.
Claims25
A system, comprising:
- a navigation circuit configured to determine an estimated transit time for a pedestrian route for a user;
- and
- a segment circuit configured to receive location information of a transportation resource with respect to the pedestrian route and to segment the pedestrian route into at least one pedestrian walking segment that precedes the transportation resource in the route using the location information,
- wherein the navigation circuit is configured to receive information about the user and real-time location and movement information of the transportation resource and to determine:
- an estimated transit time for the at least one pedestrian walking segment based on the information about the user and the at least one segmented pedestrian walking segment of the pedestrian route;
- an estimated wait time for the transportation resource to arrive at the user using the received real-time location and movement information of the transportation resource and the determined estimated transit time for the at least one pedestrian walking segment;
- and
- an estimated transit time for the transportation resource to transport the user, and
- wherein the navigation circuit is configured to determine the estimated transit time for the pedestrian route as a function of the determined estimated transit time for the at least one pedestrian walking segment, the determined estimated wait time for the transportation resource, and the determined estimated transit time for the transportation resource.
A system, comprising:
- means for determining, using a navigation circuit, an estimated transit time for a pedestrian route for a user between an origin and a destination;
- and
- means for receiving location information of a first transportation resource with respect to the pedestrian route;
- and
- means for segmenting, using a segment circuit, the pedestrian route into at least one pedestrian walking segment comprising a first pedestrian walking segment preceding the first transportation resource using the location information of the first transportation resource,
- wherein the means for determining the estimated transit time comprises:
- means for determining an estimated transit time for a first pedestrian walking segment based on information about the user and the first pedestrian walking segment of the pedestrian route;
- means for determining an estimated wait time for the first transportation resource to meet the user using real-time location and movement information of the first transportation resource and the determined estimated transit time for the first pedestrian walking segment;
- and
- means for determining an estimated transit time for the first transportation resource to transport the user,
- wherein the means for determining the estimated transit time includes as a function of the determined estimated transit time for the first pedestrian walking segment, the determined estimated wait time for the first transportation resource, and the determined estimated transit time for the first transportation resource.
At least one non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions for pedestrian traffic management, the instructions, when executed by a hardware circuitry, cause the hardware circuitry to perform operations comprising:
- determining an estimated transit time for a pedestrian route for a user between an origin and a destination;
- and
- receiving location information of a first transportation resource with respect to the pedestrian route, information about the user, and real-time location and movement information of the first transportation resource;
- and
- segmenting the pedestrian route into at least one pedestrian walking segment comprising a first pedestrian walking segment preceding the first transportation resource using the location information of the first transportation resource,
- wherein determining the estimated transit time comprises:
- determining an estimated transit time for the first pedestrian walking segment based on the information about the user and the first segmented pedestrian walking segment;
- determining an estimated wait time for the first transportation resource to arrive at the user using the received real-time location and movement information of the first transportation resource and the determined estimated transit time for the first pedestrian walking segment;
- and
- determining an estimated transit time for the first transportation resource to transport the user, and
- wherein determining the estimated transit time for the pedestrian route includes as a function of the determined estimated transit time for the first pedestrian walking segment, the determined estimated wait time for the first transportation resource, and the determined estimated transit time for the first transportation resource.
