METHOD FOR ENHANCING TRANSIT SCHEDULE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for generating an enhanced transit schedule, the method comprising the steps of:
- calculating schedule deviations using an existing transit schedule;
grouping the schedule deviations in accordance with a plurality of schedule parameters;
computing a group average deviation for each group of schedule deviations;
applying each group average deviation to a corresponding set of passing times of the existing transit schedule having corresponding schedule parameters to generate the enhanced transit schedule; and
outputting one or more elements of the enhanced transit schedule to a display.

Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for generating an enhanced transit schedule. Schedule deviations are calculated using an existing transit schedule. The schedule deviations are grouped in accordance with a plurality of schedule parameters. A group average deviation is computed for each group of schedule deviations. Each group average deviation is applied to a corresponding set of passing times of the existing transit schedule having corresponding schedule parameters to generate the enhanced transit schedule.
