A system for predicting a travel time for a traffic route, comprising: a data source comprising traffic speed data associated with a plurality of road segments and a particular time interval for each of the plurality of road segments, the plurality of road segments making up at least a portion of the traffic route; a traveler data processor configured to associate traffic speed data with each of the plurality of road segments in conjunction with a particular time interval, wherein the traveler data processor is further configured to combine real-time traffic speed data for one of the plurality of road segments with historical speed data for the one of the plurality of road segments, the traveler data processor still further configured to update the historical speed data for the one of the plurality of road segments, the one of the plurality of road segments being associated with a particular time interval based on the combined traffic speed data; a forecast engine configured to determine a predicted travel time for each of the plurality of road segments based on at least the traffic speed data for each of the plurality of road segments; and a publishing engine configured to publish a predicted travel time for the traffic route, the predicted travel time comprising a total travel time for each of the plurality of road segments making up the traffic route. view more

A system for disseminating road traffic information, comprising: memory configured to store traffic data received from a plurality of data sources; a data processing engine stored in memory and executable by a processor to generate quality traffic data, the quality traffic data based on the traffic data from the plurality of data sources, wherein the quality traffic data is as complete and timely as is presently available; and a publishing engine stored in memory and executable by a processor to generate a traffic report based on the quality traffic data, wherein the traffic report includes traffic area images of a particular traffic area and a plurality of computer-generated traffic route images that follow the natural path of real-world traffic routes in the particular traffic area, the plurality of computer-generated traffic route images overlaid on the traffic area images for publication on a display. view more

A road traffic report dissemination system, comprising: at least one data source configured to provide current data relating to traffic conditions; a data processing engine configured to generate quality traffic data, the quality traffic data comprising current data that is as complete and timely as is presently available; and a publishing engine configured to generate a three-dimensional traffic report based on the quality traffic data, wherein the traffic report comprises traffic area images of a particular traffic area and a plurality of computer-generated traffic route images that follow the natural path of real-world traffic routes in the particular traffic area, the plurality of computer-generated traffic route images overlaid on the traffic area images. view more
