ROUTE PREDICTION USING NETWORK HISTORY
First Claim
1. A computer system including instructions stored on a computer-readable medium, the computer system comprising:
- a route reader configured to determine routes of a route database, the routes being associated with a combination of route characteristics including an origin, destination, and transported object type, the routes representing actual transportations of transported objects of the transported object type from the origin to the destination within a time period;
a route selector configured to determine a route set from among the routes, based on additional route characteristics;
a route analyzer configured to determine a subset of routes from among the route set, based on a total transit time of each route within the route set, and configured to separate each of the subset of routes into route events of each route, each route event being associated with a route event completion time;
a route predictor configured to determine a predictive event completion time for each route event, based on the associated route event completion time, and further configured to use the predictive event completion time for each route event to compile a predictive route transit time and thereafter provide the predictive route transit time as a prediction for future transporting of transported objects of the transported object type between the origin and the destination.

Abstract
A computer system may include a route reader configured to determine routes of a route database, the routes being associated with a combination of route characteristics including an origin, destination, and transported object type, the routes representing actual transportations of transported objects of the transported object type from the origin to the destination within a time period. The computer system also may include a route selector configured to determine a route set from among the routes, based on additional route characteristics, and a a route analyzer configured to determine a subset of routes from among the route set, based on a total transit time of each route within the route set, and configured to separate each of the subset of routes into route events of each route, each route event being associated with a route event completion time. The computer system also may include a route predictor configured to determine a predictive event completion time for each route event, based on the associated route event completion time, and further configured to use the predictive event completion time for each route event to compile a predictive route transit time and thereafter provide the predictive route transit time as a prediction for future transporting of transported objects of the transported object type between the origin and the destination.

11. A computer program product for forecasting routes for transporting objects, the computer program product being tangibly embodied on a computer-readable medium and including executable code that, when executed, is configured to cause a data processing apparatus to:
-
determine a route set from among routes of a route database, the routes being associated with a combination of route characteristics including an origin, destination, and transported object type, the routes representing actual transportations of transported objects of the transported object type from the origin to the destination within a time period; determine a subset of routes from among the route set, based on a total transit time of each route within the route set; separate each of the subset of routes into route events of each route, each route event being associated with a route event completion time; determine a predictive event completion time for each route event, based on the associated route event completion time; use the predictive event completion time for each route event to compile a predictive route transit time; and provide the predictive route transit time as a prediction for future transporting of transported objects of the transported object type between the origin and the destination. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 16, 18)

19. An apparatus comprising:
-
means for determining a route set from among routes of a route database, the routes being associated with a combination of route characteristics including an origin, destination, and transported object type, the routes representing actual transportations of transported objects of the transported object type from the origin to the destination within a time period; means for determining a subset of routes from among the route set, based on a total transit time of each route within the route set; means for separating each of the subset of routes into route events of each route, each route event being associated with a route event completion time; means for determining a predictive event completion time for each route event, based on the associated route event completion time; means for using the predictive event completion time for each route event to compile a predictive route transit time; and means for providing the predictive route transit time as a prediction for future transporting of transported objects of the transported object type between the origin and the destination. - View Dependent Claims (20)
