Abstract
A method and system includes identification of road segments with multi-modal traffic patterns. A server receives speed data for a link. The server calculates a quantity of speed clusters from the speed data. The server calculates speed profiles for the quantity of speed clusters. The server identifies one or more modes of transportation for the link based on the quantity of the speed clusters and the speed profiles for the quantity of speed clusters.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving speed data for a link;
- calculating, by a processor, a quantity of speed clusters from the speed data;
- calculating, by the processor, at least a first speed profile for a first speed cluster and a second speed profile for a second speed cluster;
- and
- identifying, by the processor, one or more modes of transportation for the link based on the quantity of speed clusters and at least the first speed profile and the second speed profile.
2 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs;
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least perform:
- identify traffic data for a plurality of links;
- calculate a quantity of speed clusters for each link of the plurality of links from the traffic data;
- identify a plurality of contiguous links in the plurality of links;
- and
- generate a link strand of the plurality of contiguous links which have an equal quantity of speed clusters.
6 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs;
- the at least one memory configured to store the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least perform:
- identify a starting location and a destination;
- transmit a request for a route from the starting location to the destination;
- and
- receive the route, wherein the route includes a link with a multi-modal traffic pattern including one or more speed clusters;
- wherein each of the one or more speed clusters include a speed profile;
- wherein the route is generated using a selected speed profile for the link.
