Abstract
A traffic monitoring system comprises memory for storing map data, a traffic report generating module that receives vector and location data from at least one of cellular phones and vehicles and that generates and transmits traffic reports based on the vector and location data. A map monitoring module includes a path determining module that determines a travel path of the at least one of the cellular phones and the vehicles based on the vector and location data, a comparing module that compares the travel path to roads defined by the map data, and an identifying module that selectively identifies new roads based on the comparison.
Claims48
A traffic monitoring system comprising:
- memory for storing map data;
- a traffic report generating module that receives vector and location data from at least one of cellular phones and vehicles and that generates and transmits traffic reports based on said vector and location data;
- and
- a map monitoring module including:
- a path determining module that determines a travel path of said at least one of said cellular phones and said vehicles based on said vector and location data;
- a comparing module that compares said travel path to roads defined by said map data;
- and
- an identifying module that selectively identifies new roads based on said comparison.
A traffic monitoring system comprising:
- storing means for storing map data;
- traffic report generating means for receiving vector and location data from at least one of cellular phones and vehicles and for generating and transmits traffic reports based on said vector and location data;
- and
- map monitoring means for updating said map data including:
- path determining means for determining a travel path of said at least one of said cellular phones and said vehicles based on said vector and location data;
- comparing means for comparing said travel path to roads defined by said map data;
- and
- identifying means for selectively identifying new roads based on said comparison.
A method for providing a traffic monitoring system comprising:
- storing map data;
- receiving vector and location data from at least one of cellular phones and vehicles and generating and transmitting traffic reports based on said vector and location data;
- and
- determining a travel path of said at least one of said cellular phones and said vehicles based on said vector and location data;
- comparing said travel path to roads defined by said map data;
- and
- selectively identifying new roads based on said comparison.
A computer program stored for use by a processor for providing a traffic monitoring system comprising:
- storing map data;
- receiving vector and location data from at least one of cellular phones and vehicles and generating and transmitting traffic reports based on said vector and location data;
- and
- determining a travel path of said at least one of said cellular phones and said vehicles based on said vector and location data;
- comparing said travel path to roads defined by said map data;
- and
- selectively identifying new roads based on said comparison.
