Abstract:
1. A method for choosing a traffic route, the method comprising: identifying traffic segments between an identified start point and an identified end point; generating traffic routes between the identified start point and the identified end point, wherein each traffic route corresponds to a respective set of traffic segments; receiving traffic speed data associated with each traffic segment; determining a predicted travel time for each traffic segment based on the respectively associated received traffic speed data; determining a total travel time for each of the traffic routes based on the predicted travel times respectively determined for the traffic segments of the corresponding set of traffic segments; receiving event data associated with at least one set of traffic segments in real time from another user currently traversing the at least one set of traffic segments; determining an updated total travel time for at least one traffic route corresponding to the at least one set of traffic segments based on the received event data; and determining a fastest available traffic route based on the total travel times for each of the traffic routes and the updated total travel time for the at least one traffic route.
