Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented trip-planning method comprising: accessing destination elements of a driver information matrix, via a trip-planning computer, based on a trip start-time and day-of-week, wherein each accessed element has a probability associated therewith, indicating a likelihood of the element being a trip-end destination, wherein, if no destination element corresponding to the trip start-time and day-of-week exists, at least one destination element, corresponding to other related start times and days of week, is accessed based on predefined correlations defining relationships between the trip start-time and day-of-week and the other related start-times and days-of-week; selecting, via the trip-planning computer, from the accessed elements, a destination having the highest associated probability of being the trip-end destination; and utilizing the selected destination as an end destination for trip planning.
