System for communicating traffic data
First Claim
1. A method for communicating traffic data to an operator of a vehicle, comprising:
- providing location data to a computer-based system;
allocating data relating to an attribute to a subset of the location data to generating the traffic data;
storing the traffic data; and
communicating the traffic data, which includes the location data and the allocated data relating to the attribute, to the operator of the vehicle.

Abstract
A system that communicates traffic data to a vehicle is presented. The system generally includes a method that communicates traffic data to an operator of the vehicle. The system provides location data to a computer-based system, and allocates attribute data to a subset of the location data. The allocation may be initiated by the operator. The traffic data is processed by the computer-based system, and/or communicated to the operator. The system may further include a device that provides traffic data to the operator. The traffic data device generally includes a locator for providing location data, an allocator for allocating attribute data to a subset of the location data, a storage medium for storing the generated traffic data, and an output device.
