Abstract
An initial geometry including one dimensional representation of a path is accessed. The initial geometry may be based on traffic data. An envelope size is identified based on the path. The envelope size may be derived from a width, functional classification, or lane quantity associated with the path. A processor calculates a supplemental geometry based on the envelope size for the path and generates a two dimensional representation of the path based on the initial geometry, the supplemental geometry, and the envelope size.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a traffic message from a traffic message channel, the traffic message including at least one location code for a path;
- parsing, using a processor, the traffic message into a first component and a second component;
- accessing a location code from the first component of the traffic message;
- matching, using the processor, the location code to a geographic location from a map database;
- calculating, using the processor, an envelope size for the location code based on the geographic location;
- and
- constructing, using the processor, a two-dimensional representation of the path from the traffic message based on the envelope size.
An apparatus comprising:
- a geographic database configured to store road segments in associated with geographic locations;
- a communication interface configured to receive a traffic message from a traffic message channel, the traffic message including at least one location code for a road segment;
- and
- a matching device configured to parse the traffic message into a first component and a second component and match a location code for the first component to a geographic location from the geographic database,
- wherein a two-dimensional representation of the road segment from the traffic message based on an envelope size for the location code for the geographic location.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs;
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least perform:
- receive a traffic message from a traffic message channel, the traffic message including at least one location code for a path;
- parse the traffic message into a first component and a second component;
- access a location code from the first component of the traffic message;
- match the location code to a geographic location from a map database;
- calculate an envelope size for the location code based on the geographic location;
- and
- construct a two-dimensional representation of the path from the traffic message based on the envelope size.
