First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- defining at least one traffic network, each traffic network comprising at least one road segment;
receiving traffic information corresponding to the at least one traffic network from at least one crowdsourcing probe; and
determining traffic intensity of the at least one traffic network based on the traffic information.

Abstract
Systems and associated methods for utilizing crowdsourcing probes to obtain traffic information are described. Such traffic information includes location, date, time, speed, and speed limit information. Embodiments allow for the determination of traffic intensity, or road congestion, through the calculation of a road speed capacity factor. Embodiments provide that the traffic information and traffic intensity information may be visualized through a user interface.
