Patent ID: 8751152

Claim:
A navigation system to plan a route of a vehicle, the system comprising: a receiver configured to receive traffic information including position information associated with a plurality of delay incidents and an expected delay caused by each one of the number of delay incidents, a memory configured to store the received traffic information, one or more processors arranged to, filter said received traffic information to select one or more delay incidents that are on a planned route, determine a position of the vehicle on the planned route, and process each one of the delay incidents on the planned route to select at least one of the delay incidents as a relevant delay incident, said processing comprising determining if the distance to the respective delay incident along the planned route from a position of the vehicle is less than a predetermined distance and the expected delay caused by the respective delay incident is greater than a predetermined time, and an output configured to graphically display map data associated with the planned route and configured to simultaneously display a linear traffic bar displaying a graphic representation associated with the at least one relevant delay incident to a user, the graphic representation being at a linear position along the traffic bar and proportional to the position of the at least one relevant delay incident on the planned route as compared to the position of the vehicle and a destination on the planned route.
