Detecting Important Transit Stops for Transit Trip Grouping
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of determining a direction name associated with a transit trip along a transit line, the method comprising:
- identifying, by the one or more computing devices, a plurality of transit stops along a transit line;
accessing, by the one or more computing devices, data indicative of an ordering for the plurality of transit stops along the transit line, the ordering ranking each of the plurality of transit stops based at least in part on a frequency of use of the transit stop in a transit network; and
identifying, by the one or more computing devices, a direction name associated with a transit trip along the transit line at a reference transit stop based at least in part the data indicative of the ordering for the plurality of transit stops along the transit line.

Abstract
Systems and methods for identifying a direction name associated a transit trip along a transit line for use in, for instance, grouping departure times or arrival times associated with transit trips at a transit stop are provided. Data indicative or an ordering ranking the plurality of transit stops in terms of importance can be accessed. Important transit stops between the reference transit stop and an ending transit stop associated with a transit trip can be identified using the ordering of the plurality of transit stops. The station names associated with the identified important transit stops can be used as a basis for the direction name associated with the transit trip at the particular reference transit stop. Departure times can be grouped by the identified direction names and using other parameters, such as by headsign.

14. A computing system, comprising:
-
a display device; one or more processors; and one or more memory devices, the one or more memory devices comprising computer-readable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising; identifying a plurality of transit stops along a transit line; accessing data indicative of an ordering for the plurality of transit stops along the transit line, the ordering ranking each of the plurality of transit stops based at least in part on a frequency of use of the transit stop in a transit network; determining a direction name associated with a transit trip along the transit line at a reference transit stop based at least in part the data indicative of the ordering for the plurality of transit stops along the transit line; grouping the transit time associated with the transit trip based at least in part the direction name; and providing for display on the display device a plurality of transit times grouped by the direction name.

18. One or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media comprising computer-readable instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:
-
identifying a plurality of transit stops along a transit line; accessing data indicative of an ordering for the plurality of transit stops along the transit line, the ordering ranking each of the plurality of transit stops based at least in part on a frequency of use of the transit stop in a transit network; determining a direction name associated with the transit line at a reference transit stop based at least in part the data indicative of the ordering for the plurality of transit stops along the transit line; and grouping the plurality of transit times associated with the reference transit stop based at least in part the direction name; and providing for display in user interface on the display device, a plurality of transit times grouped by the direction name. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
