Abstract
Traffic notification systems include a location determination system that can determine a geographic location of a subscriber, and an automated traffic notification system that can automatically transmit a traffic notification message that is based on the geographic location of the subscriber to a wireless terminal associated with the subscriber.
Claims18
A traffic advisory system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a database that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to
- determine a speed, a direction of travel, and a geographic location of a mobile device,
- store route data identifying a route traveled by the mobile device,
- determine that a traffic condition exists on the route traveled based upon the route data, the geographic location, the direction of travel, and the speed of the mobile device,
- in response to determining that the traffic condition exists on the route traveled, transmit, to the mobile device, a notification for presentation at the mobile device, the notification indicating the traffic condition and a location of the traffic condition, and
- determine a code value indicating drivability for the route traveled.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- determine a speed, a direction of travel, and a geographic location of a mobile device;
- store route data identifying a route traveled by the mobile device;
- determine that a traffic condition exists on the route traveled based upon the route data, the determined geographic location, the direction of travel, and the speed of the mobile device;
- in response to determining that the traffic condition exists on the route traveled, transmit a notification for presentation at the mobile device, the notification indicating the traffic condition and a location of the traffic condition, and
- determine a code value indicating drivability for the route traveled.

- in response to determining that the traffic condition exists on the route traveled, transmit, to the mobile device, a notification for presentation at the mobile device in a graphical user interface presenting a map and visual representation of the route, the notification indicating the traffic condition and a location of the traffic condition on the map, and
- determine a code value indicating drivability for the route traveled.
