Methods and systems for promoting environmentally friendly transportation mechanisms
First Claim
1. A traffic management method for promoting environmentally friendly transportation mechanisms, the method comprising:
- communicating, by a routing unit to a requesting road user, calculated traffic route proposals having different transportation mechanisms;
receiving, from the road user, a selected traffic route from the communicated traffic route proposals;
supplying the road user with traffic route data relating to the selected traffic route, wherein a plurality of transportation mechanisms is provided for use by the road user for the selected traffic route;
receiving position data of the road user along the traffic route taken by the road user in order to validate a transportation mechanism used by the road user; and
evaluating a behavior of the road user on the selected traffic route,wherein the behavior of the road user comprises the transportation mechanism used by the road user, a quantity of event reports supplied by the road user, and a quality of the event reports supplied by the road user, andwherein the behavior of the road user is evaluated based on the transportation mechanism used by the road user, the quantity of the event reports supplied by the road user, and the quality of the event reports supplied by the road user.

Abstract
Traffic management methods for promoting environmentally friendly transportation include the following acts: transmitting, by a routing unit to a requesting road user, computed traffic route proposals that include different transport mechanisms; selecting a traffic route from the transmitted traffic route proposals, by the requesting road user, and transmitting the selected traffic route to the routing unit, which provides the road user with traffic route data for the selected traffic route; transmitting position data, from the road user, along the traffic route taken by the road user in order to validate the transportation mechanism used by the road user in the process; and rating a behavior of the road user based on the transportation used by the road user.

17. A traffic management system for improving an evaluation of a behavior of road users, the traffic management system comprising:
-
a routing unit; mobile terminals of the road users configured to transmit route requests to the routing unit, wherein the routing unit is configured to calculate, for each received route request, traffic route proposals comprising different transportation mechanisms, and communicate the traffic route proposals to the requesting road user, wherein the routing unit is configured to receive, from a road user, a selected traffic route, wherein a plurality of transportation mechanisms for use by the road user is provided for the selected traffic route; wherein the routing unit is configured to evaluate the position data of the road user along the selected traffic route, in order to validate a transportation mechanism used by the road user on the selected traffic route, and evaluate a behavior of the road user, wherein the behavior of the road user comprises the transportation mechanism used by the road user, a quantity of location-related event reports supplied by the road user, and a quality of the location-related event reports supplied by the road user, and wherein the behavior of the road user is evaluated based on the transportation mechanism used by the road user, the quantity of the location-related event reports supplied by the road user, and the quality of the location-related event reports supplied by the road user. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
