CROWD SOURCED TRAFFIC REPORTING
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for generating a traffic report, comprising:
- receiving crowd sourced data from a computing device associated with a user traversing a travel route, the crowd sourced data including location data and speed data associated with the user;
executing instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by a processor;
verifies timeliness of the crowd sourced data,generates a traffic report based on the crowd sourced data, anddisplays the traffic report on the computing device.

Abstract
A traffic reporting service may allow for the generation of more reliable and accurate traffic reports, maps, and forecasts based on various data types and sources. Data sources include public sector sources, private entities, and end users providing crowd sourced data. Crowd sourced data is collected, verified, and used to generate a traffic report which is displayed to a user via a computing device. A user may use various information presented in the traffic report to make informed decisions when choosing travel routes and a departure time to reach a desired destination.
