Abstract:
A method and server for generating a traffic prediction for a target zone is provided. The traffic is caused by feedback and non-feedback vehicles in the target zone. Feedback vehicles are associated with devices that provide signals. The method comprises: tracking signals of devices entering a sample zone which comprise coordinates of devices; processing the signals tracked for the devices, the processing comprises: determining an actual number of feedback vehicles in the sample zone; computing a fill rate parameter which is indicative of an estimated total number of vehicles in the sample zone; and determining a feedback ratio which is indicative of an estimated proportion of feedback and non-feedback vehicles in the sample zone; determining an actual number of feedback vehicles entering the target zone; and generating the traffic prediction for the target zone which is indicative of an estimated number of non-feedback vehicles causing traffic in the target zone.

Claim (Index 8):
The method of  claim 7 , wherein the identifying rearmost positional coordinates amongst the positional coordinates of the at least one navigational device within the second boundary coordinates comprises:\n determining, by the server, at least one of (i) traffic-entering boundary coordinates within the second boundary coordinates and (ii) traffic-exiting boundary coordinates within the second boundary coordinates based on the traffic direction in the traffic sample zone; comparing, by the server, each of the positional coordinates of the at least one navigational device within the second boundary coordinates against the at least one of (i) the traffic-entering boundary coordinates and (ii) the traffic-exiting boundary coordinates; and selecting, by the server, a given one of the positional coordinates of the at least one navigational device as the rearmost positional coordinates such that the given one of the positional coordinates is at least one of (i) closest positional coordinates amongst the positional coordinates of the at least one navigational device to the traffic-entering boundary coordinates and (ii) farthest positional coordinates amongst the positional coordinates of the at least one navigational device from the traffic-exiting boundary coordinates.
