DETERMINING REAL-TIME DELAY OF TRANSPORT
First Claim
1. A method of providing an end-user with a progression update for a scheduled transport, the method comprising:
- receiving a message relating to the transport;
in response to the message including data indicating a current position of the transport, determining a current time difference between a real-time progression of the transport and an expected progression of the transport; and
storing the current time difference and current position of the transport as a time-stamped entry in a logbook database, wherein the real-time progression of the transport is based upon the current position.

Abstract
A delay of a scheduled transport which runs along a route according to a timetable is determined The route comprises at least one leg. Determining the delay is based on a detailed reference schedule indicating arbitrary time-stamped reference positions of a transport that is on time. A request is received for the transport'"'"'s delay by a user device located on the transport. The request indicates at least the current position of the transport. The transport'"'"'s delay is calculated on the basis of the current position indicated in the request, a time-stamp and the corresponding time-stamped reference position of the detailed reference schedule. The calculated delay is returned to the user device. The calculated delay is stored into a logbook. In response to a request not indicating the current position of the transport, the delay is returned on the basis of the logbook.

19. A computer system for providing an end-user with a progression update, the system comprising:
-
a processor; a logbook database; and a memory including a set of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computer system to; receive a message relating to the transport; in response to the message including data indicating a current position of the transport, determine a current time difference between a real-time progression of the transport based upon the current position and an expected progression of the transport; and store the current time difference and current position of the transport as a time-stamped entry in the logbook database.

20. A computer program product comprising:
-
a non-transitory computer readable storage medium; and a set of instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to; receive a message relating to the transport; in response to the message including data indicating a current position of the transport, determine a current time difference between a real-time progression of the transport based upon the current position and an expected progression of the transport; and store the current time difference and current position of the transport as a time-stamped entry in a logbook database.
