Abstract
In an exemplary method, a traffic monitoring subsystem receives mobile device attribute data from a plurality of mobile devices over a network, selectively aggregates the mobile device attribute data, the selectively aggregating including identifying anomalous data in the mobile device attribute data and excluding the anomalous data from the aggregated mobile device attribute data, and generating traffic condition data based at least in part on the aggregated mobile device attribute data, the traffic condition data representative of a traffic condition. In certain examples, the traffic monitoring system provides the traffic condition data to at least one of the mobile devices.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a traffic monitoring subsystem, mobile device attribute data from a plurality of mobile devices over a network, the mobile device attribute data including location data representative of a plurality of geographic locations associated with the plurality of mobile devices;
- selectively aggregating, by the traffic monitoring subsystem, the mobile device attribute data, the selectively aggregating comprising identifying anomalous data in the mobile device attribute data and excluding the anomalous data from the aggregated mobile device attribute data;
- and
- generating, by the traffic monitoring subsystem, traffic condition data based at least in part on the aggregated mobile device attribute data, the traffic condition data representative of a traffic condition.
A method comprising:
- selectively aggregating, by a traffic monitoring subsystem, mobile device attribute data received from a plurality of mobile devices over a network, the mobile device attribute data including location data representative of a plurality of geographic locations associated with the plurality of mobile devices, the selectively aggregating comprising identifying anomalous data in the mobile device attribute data and excluding the anomalous data from the aggregated mobile device attribute data;
- generating, by the traffic monitoring subsystem, traffic condition data based at least in part on the aggregated mobile device attribute data, the traffic condition data representative of a traffic condition;
- and
- providing, by the traffic monitoring subsystem, the traffic condition data to at least one of the mobile devices based on the geographic locations of the mobile devices in relation to a location of the traffic condition.
A system comprising:
- at least one physical computing device that comprises:
- a communication module configured to receive mobile device attribute data from a plurality of mobile devices over a network, the mobile device attribute data including location data representative of a plurality of geographic locations associated with the plurality of mobile devices;
- a processing module;
- and
- a traffic monitoring module configured to direct the processing module to:
- selectively aggregate the mobile device attribute data received from the plurality of mobile devices over the network, the selective aggregation comprising identifying anomalous data in the mobile device attribute data and excluding the anomalous data from aggregated mobile device attribute data;
- and
- generate traffic condition data based at least in part on the aggregated mobile device attribute data, the traffic condition data representative of a traffic condition.
