SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING TRAFFIC DATA AND DRIVING EFFICIENCY DATA
First Claim
1. A system for processing traffic data, the system comprising:
- a network interface that receives traffic data at a mobile device, the traffic data originating from multiple sources, wherein the traffic data is received at least in part from crowd sourced data, a portion of the crowd sourced data originating passively through a plurality of mobile devices and another portion of the crowd sourced data originating actively from a remote user through a plurality of mobile devices, and wherein the traffic data includes incident data, traffic flow data, and media data associated with the traffic;
a memory that stores instructions;
a processor that executes the instructions stored in memory to;
validate the traffic data by;
aggregating the traffic data, andremoving anomalies in the traffic data;
provide traffic information to a user through an interface of the mobile device according to user criteria, wherein the user criteria includes at least a user location and at least one type of traffic information the user is interested in receiving, and wherein the traffic information is generated based on the validated traffic data;
provide driving efficiency information through the interface; and
update the traffic information at a frequency based on accuracy of the traffic information and battery performance of the mobile device.

Abstract
Current and predicted traffic information is provided from incident data, traffic flow data, and media related to traffic received from multiple sources. The crowd sourced data may be provided passively by applications on remote mobile devices or actively by users operating the remote mobile devices. An application on a mobile device may receive the multiple data types, aggregate and validate the data, and provides traffic information for a user. The traffic information may relate to the current position and route of the user or a future route. The present technology may also provide driving efficiency information such as fuel consumption data, carbon footprint data, and a driving rating for a user associated with a vehicle.

9. A method for predicting traffic, the method comprising:
-
receiving traffic data by a mobile device, the traffic data originating from multiple sources, wherein the traffic data is received at least in part from crowd sourced data, a portion of the crowd sourced data originating passively through a plurality of mobile devices and another portion of the crowd sourced data originating actively from a remote user through a plurality of mobile devices; receiving user input by an interface of the mobile device, wherein the user input specifies a location and a time; and executing instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by a processor; analyzes the traffic data received over time to determine recurring traffic speeds associated with locations, wherein a plurality of recurring traffic speeds are determined for each location, and wherein each of the plurality of recurring traffic speeds is associated with a respective time, predicts traffic information based on the determined recurring traffic speeds associated with the specified location and the specified time, and displays the predicted traffic information to a user at an interface of the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
