Vehicle trip builder system and method thereof

A system for determining a vehicle trip on a roadway, the system comprising:

• a plurality of detection zones;
• and
• a computer program product residing on a non-transitory computer readable medium and executable by one or more processors to direct performance of operations comprising:
• receiving one or more vehicle detection events corresponding to a given vehicle, each of the one or more vehicle detection events associated with one of a plurality of detection zones;
• storing a plurality of predefined trip patterns, each of the plurality of predefined trip patterns including at least one detection zone of the plurality of detection zones;
• and
• matching the one or more vehicle detection events to a longest matching trip pattern of the plurality of predefined trip patterns to define a trip.

A method for determining a vehicle trip on a roadway, the method comprising:

• (a) providing one or more vehicle detection events corresponding to a given vehicle, each of the one or more vehicle detection events associated with a detection zone;
• (b) providing at least one predefined trip pattern including the detection zone;
• and
• (c) matching the one or more vehicle detection events to a longest matching trip pattern of the at least one predefined trip pattern to define a trip.
