Abstract:
1. A method for determining vehicular speeds over various travel routes, comprising: (a) for a first mobile communication device and second mobile communication device, determining a respective first physical location at a first time for the first mobile communication device and a second physical location at a second later time for the second mobile communication device; (b) determining a respective velocity for the first and second cellular communication devices over a distance between the first physical location of the first mobile communication device and the second physical location of the second mobile communication device; and (c) based on the respective velocities, providing to a driver at least one of (i) a velocity over a selected travel route between the first physical location of the first mobile communication device and the second physical location of the second mobile communication device, (ii) a traffic volume over the selected travel route between the first physical location of the first mobile communication device and the second physical location of the second mobile communication device, and (iii) an estimated time of travel over the selected travel route between the first physical location of the first mobile communication device and the second physical location of the second mobile communication device.
