Selecting traffic algorithms to generate traffic data

A method for generating traffic data, the method comprising:

• receiving one or more routes from a first location to a second location;
• receiving vehicle data along each of the one or more routes;
• receiving road data corresponding to a plurality of road types along each of the one or more routes;
• segmenting the one or more routes, based on the plurality of road types;
• determining, based on the vehicle data, a first algorithm corresponding to a first road type from the plurality of road types and a second algorithm corresponding to a second road type from the plurality of road types;
• and
• generating traffic data, along the one or more routes, using the first algorithm and the second algorithm.

A method for generating traffic data, the method comprising:

• receiving a request for directions from a first location to a second location;
• generating one or more routes from the first location to the second location;
• receiving vehicle data along each of the one or more routes;
• receiving road data along each of the one or more routes;
• generating an estimated travel time from the first location to the second location, for each of the one or more routes, using a respective algorithm for each of the one or more routes;
• determining a confidence score for each of the estimated travel times based on the vehicle data, road data, and respective algorithm;
• and
• generating a report comprising the estimated travel time and the corresponding confidence score, for at least one of the one or more routes.
