1. A method comprising:
- receiving mobile device data over a period of time from a plurality of mobile devices associated with a length of road comprising a plurality of subsections of road;
calculating, by at least one processor, from the mobile device data, a number of mobile device readings per subsection of the length of road and a difference between traffic flow of a first and a second subsection of the length of road; and
indicating a different traffic flow level for the first subsection of the length of road than the second subsection of the length of road when the number of mobile device readings per subsection is above a probe quantity threshold and the difference between traffic flow of the first and the second subsection of the length of road is above a variance threshold.

Abstract
Precision traffic flow indication may involve receiving device data over a period of time representing a plurality traffic flow readings associated with a road involving a plurality of subsections. Calculating traffic flows and determining road subsections having similar traffic flows may also be involved. Also, indicating a different traffic flow level for a first subsection and a second subsection of road may be involved.
