System and method for predicting expected time of arrival (eta) of vehicles

A method, comprising:

• scanning, by a processor, a tracked vehicle and same and similar (SaSi) vehicles crossing a toll plaza,
• wherein the SaSi vehicles are identified based on a plurality of predetermined factors;
• computing, by the processor, a segment time for plurality of segments from time difference between electronic toll collection (ETC) scans in two consecutive toll plazas for the SaSi vehicles moving ahead of the tracked vehicle,
• wherein the segment time is computed based on a defined criteria, and
• computing, by the processor, the segment time for the plurality of segments in an event of presence of non-SaSi vehicles or absence of toll road;
• and
• predicting, by the processor, expected time of arrival (ETA) of the tracked vehicle based on the computed segment time and periodic error correction module between successive segments.

A non-transitory computer readable medium, having stored thereon, computer executable code, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:

• scanning a tracked vehicle and same and similar (SaSi) vehicles crossing a toll plaza,
• wherein the SaSi vehicles are identified based on a plurality of predetermined factors;
• computing a segment time for plurality of segments from time difference between electronic toll collection (ETC) scans in two consecutive toll plazas for the SaSi vehicles moving ahead of the tracked vehicle,
• wherein the segment time is computed based on a defined criteria, and
• computing the segment time for the plurality of segments in an event of presence of non-SaSi vehicles or absence of toll road;
• and
• predicting expected time of arrival (ETA) of the tracked vehicle based on the computed segment time and periodic error correction module between successive segments.
