Abstract
A method for developing traffic messages for broadcast is disclosed. Data indicating a plurality of traffic conditions on a road network are obtained. For each of the traffic conditions, the data provides a start location at which the traffic condition begins and an end location at which the traffic condition ends. For each of the traffic conditions, a road length from the start location to the end location is determined. The traffic conditions are assigned a priority based upon the road lengths. The data indicating the traffic conditions are transmitted in the assigned priority as a plurality of traffic messages.

24. A method for developing traffic messages comprising:
-
obtaining data on a computing platform indicating a plurality of traffic conditions on a road network; and
prioritizing said traffic conditions based upon considering at least one of;
a road length affected by said traffic condition, a type of traffic condition, a road type on which said traffic condition is located, an important highway junction is located proximate said traffic condition, co-location or connection with another of said traffic conditions, a duration of said traffic condition, and a commute direction affected by said traffic condition, wherein said commute direction is a direction of travel in which a majority of vehicles travel as compared to an opposing direction of travel. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27)

28. A method for developing traffic messages comprising:
-
obtaining data on a computing platform indicating a plurality of traffic conditions on a road network, for each of said traffic conditions said data provides a start location reference code representing a location at which said traffic condition begins, an end location reference code representing a location at which said traffic condition ends and an event description; and
ranking said traffic conditions into a priority based upon considering at least one of;
a road length affected by said traffic condition, an importance of said event description, a road type on which said traffic condition is located, a duration of said traffic condition and co-location or connection with another of said traffic conditions. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31)

32. A method for developing traffic messages comprising:
-
obtaining data on a computing platform indicating a plurality of traffic conditions on a road network, for each of said traffic conditions said data provides a start location at which said traffic condition begins and an end location at which said traffic condition ends;
for each of said traffic conditions, determining a road length from said start location to said end location;
assigning a priority to said traffic conditions based upon said road lengths; and
transmitting a plurality of traffic messages representing said data indicating said traffic conditions according to said assigned priority. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43)
