ESTIMATION OF ARRIVAL TIMES AT TRANSIT STOPS
First Claim
1. A computer system for providing a consolidated estimated time of arrival in a scheduled transportation system, the computer system comprising:
- a scheduling device having a processor, the processor configured to perform a method comprising;
receiving a scheduled time of arrival;
calculating the consolidated estimated time of arrival based on the scheduled time of arrival and associating a confidence level with the consolidated estimated time of arrival;
based on receiving a real-time estimated time of arrival re-calculating the consolidated estimated time of arrival based on the scheduled time of arrival and the real-time estimated time of arrival and increasing the confidence level with the consolidated estimated time of arrival; and
based on receiving a predictive estimated time of arrival, re-calculating the consolidated estimated time of arrival based on the scheduled time of arrival, the real-time estimated time of arrival, and the predictive estimated time of arrival and increasing the confidence level with the consolidated estimated time of arrival.

Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure include a method for providing a consolidated estimated time of arrival in a scheduled transportation system. The method includes receiving at least one of a scheduled time of arrival, a real-time estimated time of arrival and a predictive estimated time of arrival and assigning a weight to each of the scheduled time of arrival, the real-time estimated time of arrival and the predictive estimated time of arrival. The method also includes calculating a confidence level and the consolidated estimated time of arrival based on the weights and the scheduled time of arrival, the real-time estimated time of arrival and the predictive estimated time of arrival.
