Abstract
Precision traffic flow indication may involve receiving device data over a period of time representing a plurality traffic flow readings associated with a road involving a plurality of subsections. Calculating traffic flows and determining road subsections having similar traffic flows may also be involved. Also, indicating a different traffic flow level for a first subsection and a second subsection of road may be involved.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving probe data for a traffic message channel (TMC) designated length of road;
- identifying a first subsection of road and a second subsection of road from the TMC designated length of road;
- calculating, using a processor, a jam factor for the first subsection of road and a jam factor for the second subsection of road;
- calculating, using the processor, a traffic flow difference based on the jam factor for the first subsection of road and the jam factor for the second subsection of road;
- and
- modifying, using the processor, the TMC designated length of road in response to the traffic flow difference.
3 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code;
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
- receive probe data for a traffic message channel (TMC) designated length of road;
- identify a first subsection of road and a second subsection of road from the TMC designated length of road;
- calculate a jam factor for the first subsection of road and a jam factor for the second subsection of road;
- and
- modify the TMC designated length of road to a modified road length in response to the jam factor for the first subsection of road and the jam factor for the second subsection of road.
6 more elements
A method comprising:
- generating probe data for a traffic message channel (TMC) designated length of road;
- sending the probe data to a server, wherein a modified length of road different from the TMC designated length of road is calculated based on a traffic flow difference based on a jam factor for a first subsection of road and a jam factor for a second subsection of road;
- receiving the modified length of road;
- and
- providing a navigation related application using the modified length of road.
