Abstract
A system may receive requests for traffic routing information from a plurality of vehicles and may provide a suggested route, not only based on actual current conditions and historical information, but based on the application of a predictive model. The predictive model may use information about current traffic conditions and historical information to predict the actual conditions that will occur in the course of traversing a desired route to an intended destination. In this way, the system may adapt for the dynamic nature of traffic conditions.
Claims12
A method for developing a predictive model of traffic flows comprising:
- developing a database of the count of the number of vehicles and their times for traversing a given segment at a plurality of different times;
- using said database to determine an amount of time to traverse said segment at a future time;
- and
- using a matching algorithm to find a segment and time interval that matches a characteristics of a future time interval.
An article comprising a medium for storing instructions that cause a processor-based system to:
- develop a database of the count of the number of vehicles and their times for traversing a given segment at a plurality of different times;
- use said database to determine an amount of time to traverse said segment at a future time;
- and
- use a matching algorithm to find a segment and a time interval that matches the characteristics of a future time interval.
