1. A method, comprising:

  • determining respective transit characteristics from a source location to a plurality of destination locations;

    grouping said plurality of destination locations according to a similarity criterion into a plurality of subsets corresponding to respective geographical regions, wherein respective transit characteristics of destination locations grouped into a given respective geographical region each satisfy said similarity criterion;

    determining a respective distribution associated with each of said geographical regions, wherein a given respective distribution correlates a given transit characteristic from said source location to a given geographical region with a respective surety factor, wherein said respective surety factor includes a cumulative probability that said given transit characteristic will be achieved; and

    dynamically updating said respective transit characteristics, said grouping of destination locations into geographical regions and said respective distributions dependent upon collecting empirical transit data.
