METHOD OF CREATING A SPEED ESTIMATION
First Claim
1. A method of creating a speed estimation representative of vehicle speed along one or more road segments, the method comprising:
- obtaining at least reference speed data from a reference source of data and second speed data from a second source of data, the second source of data being different from the reference source of data and the speed data being indicative of vehicle speed along the one or more road segments;
using the reference speed data to verify the second speed data and modifying the second speed data according to the verification; and
generating an estimation of vehicle speed for the one or more road segments based upon at least the verified second speed data.

Abstract
A method of creating a speed estimation representative of vehicle speed along one or more road segments. In at least one embodiment, the method includes obtaining at least reference speed data from a reference source of data and second speed data from a second source of data, wherein the second source is different from the reference and the speed data is indicative of vehicle speed along the or each road segment; using the reference speed data to verify the second speed data and modifying the second speed data according to the verification; and generating an estimation of vehicle speed for the or each road segment based upon the verified second speed data.

12. A road traffic network reporting system arranged to monitor speed data for one or more road segments, the road traffic network reporting system comprising:
-
a storage device; and processing circuitry connected to the storage device, the storage device being arranged to store reference speed data generated from position data received from a reference source of position data and to store second speed data generated from position data received from a second source of position data, the processing circuitry being arranged to process the reference and second speed data to verify the second speed data, modify the second speed data according to the verification, and generate a fused speed data by fusing the reference and second speed data to generate an estimation of vehicle speed for the one or more road segments. - View Dependent Claims (13, 19)
