PROGRAMMABLE ROUTE SPECIFIC DYNAMIC TRAFFIC WARNING SYSTEM WITH SEGMENTATION IDENTIFIERS
First Claim
1. A method for providing a user with traffic information, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining at least one area of interest including a plurality of latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates;
receiving traffic data including information related to a plurality of traffic events;
parsing the traffic data for any of the traffic events located within at least one area of interest; and
outputting a traffic event message to an output device if the latitudinal and longitudinal location of the related traffic event is located within the at least one area of interest.

Abstract
A method for selectively providing traffic information to a user without requiring the user to constantly monitor radio broadcasts is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: determining at least one area of interest including a plurality of latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates; receiving traffic data including information related to a plurality of traffic events; parsing the traffic data for any of the traffic events located within at least one area of interest; and outputting a traffic event message to an output device if the latitudinal and longitudinal location of the related traffic event is located within the at least one area of interest.

-
determining at least one area of interest including a plurality of latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates; receiving a traffic data including information related to a plurality of traffic events; parsing the traffic data for any of the traffic events located within at least one area of interest; determining a priority level of each of the traffic events within the at least one area of interest; comparing the priority level of each of the traffic events within the at least one area of interest with a user-selected priority level; filtering the traffic events to remove any traffic event that does not meet the user-selected priority level; and outputting a traffic event message to an output device if the latitudinal and longitudinal location of the related traffic event is located within the at least one area of interest. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. In a computer readable storage medium having stored therein data representing instructions executable by a programmed processor for enabling operation of a system for providing a user with traffic information, the storage medium comprising instructions for:
-
determining at least one area of interest including a plurality of latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates; receiving a traffic data including information related to a plurality of traffic events; parsing the traffic data for any of the traffic events located within the at least one area of interest; determining a priority level of each of the traffic events within the at least one area of interest; comparing the priority level of each of the traffic events within the at least one area of interest with a user-selected priority level; filtering the traffic events to remove any traffic event that does not meet the user-selected priority level; and outputting a traffic event message to an output device if the latitudinal and longitudinal location of the related traffic event is located within the at least one area of interest. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
