Abstract
Method, computer program product, and apparatus for providing navigation guidance to vehicles are disclosed. The method may include receiving crowdsourcing data from a plurality of vehicles, determining information corresponding to a route of interest to at least one vehicle using the crowdsourcing data, and providing navigation guidance to the at least one vehicle using the information determined. The crowdsourcing data includes on board diagnostics data (OBD) correlated with time stamps and GPS locations of a vehicle, where the on board diagnostics data includes odometer information, speedometer information, fuel consumption information, steering information, and impact data.
Claims34
A method of providing navigation guidance to vehicles, comprising:
- receiving crowdsourcing data from a plurality of vehicles;
- determining information corresponding to a route of interest to at least one vehicle using the crowdsourcing data;
- and
- providing navigation guidance to the at least one vehicle using the information determined.
A computer program product comprising non-transitory medium storing instructions for execution by one or more computer systems, the instructions comprising:
- instructions for receiving crowdsourcing data from a plurality of vehicles;
- instructions for determining information corresponding to a route of interest to at least one vehicle using the crowdsourcing data;
- and
- instructions for providing navigation guidance to the at least one vehicle using the information determined.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a control unit including processing logic, the processing logic comprising:
- logic configured to receive crowdsourcing data from a plurality of vehicles;
- logic configured to determine information corresponding to a route of interest to at least one vehicle using the crowdsourcing data;
- and
- logic configured to provide navigation guidance to the at least one vehicle using the information determined.
A mobile station, comprising:
- a navigation controller including processing logic, the processing logic comprising:
- logic configured to send crowdsourcing data to a server;
- logic configured to receive navigation guidance from the server;
- and
- logic configured to display the navigation guidance on a display.
A system, comprising:
- means for receiving crowdsourcing data from a plurality of vehicles;
- means for determining information corresponding to a route of interest to at least one vehicle using the crowdsourcing data;
- and
- means for providing navigation guidance to the at least one vehicle using the information determined.
