Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments relate to prediction of traffic dynamics. A descriptive model is provided that uses historical probe data to create “tidal-like” patterns for the usual dynamics on the road network and creates a framework for taking a future time, e.g. in terms of month, day, time, and suggesting a typical speed for the specified road network link at that specific time. With this model, better predictions for estimated time of arrival will be derived. As opposed to blindly extrapolating from a static model, the disclosed embodiments dynamically adapt to current conditions using real time data to adapt, based on current conditions, the model from which a predicted speed may be determined.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer implemented method comprising:\n storing, by a processor in a memory coupled therewith, data indicative of a model of traffic conditions of a road network, the model comprising at least two patterns indicative of traffic conditions that have occurred during at least a portion of a prior time period for at least a portion of the road network, including at least two patterns for the same portion of the road network and the same portion of the prior time period, each of the at least two patterns defining different traffic conditions that have occurred on the portion of the road network at the portion of the prior time period; and adapting, by the processor, the model to account for current traffic conditions along at least a portion of the road network by obtaining data indicative of real-time traffic conditions along at least the portion of the road network, identifying, based on a future time period, a subset of the at least two patterns for the particular portion of the road network applicable to the future time period, and selecting one of the at least two patterns of the identified subset based on the obtained data indicative of real-time traffic conditions, wherein different real-time traffic conditions result in selection of a different one of the at least two patterns of the identified subset, the selected one of the at least two patterns comprising a prediction of traffic conditions for at least the portion of the road network for the future time period.
