Measuring Quality in Optimal Navigation Routes by Navigation Systems
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, using a processor, a plurality of nodes from a navigation device, each node comprising latitude and longitude coordinates and a time stamp;
determining a traveled route of the navigation device between an origin and destination; and
calculating an alternative route between the origin and destination at a time after the traveled route is completed.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for measuring quality in optimal navigation routes. A plurality of nodes having latitude and longitude coordinates is received for analysis. The nodes may be map matched with a road network and a traveled route of the navigation device may be determined. Alternative routes may be calculated between the origin and destination of the traveled route at a time after the traveled route is completed. Comparisons may be made between the traveled route and the alternative routes. The comparison data may be used to develop an improved traffic database or the data may be reported to a navigation device or navigation service provider.

11. A method comprising:
-
receiving, using a processor, a plurality of nodes from a navigation device, each node comprising latitude and longitude coordinates and a time stamp; map matching the plurality of nodes with a road network; determining, using the map matched nodes, a traveled route of the navigation device between an origin and destination; calculating an faster alternative route between the origin and destination, at a time after the traveled route is completed, using current real-time traffic data, historical traffic data, forecasted traffic data, posted speed limit data, or combinations thereof; comparing the faster alternative route with the traveled route to provide comparison data including a difference in total travel time between the faster alternative route and the traveled route; and reporting the comparison data to the navigation device or a navigation service provider.

12. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs;
the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least perform;receive plurality of nodes from a navigation device, each node comprising latitude and longitude coordinates and a time stamp; map match the plurality of nodes with a road network; determine, using the map matched nodes, a traveled route of the navigation device between an origin and destination; and calculate an alternative route between the origin and destination at a time after the traveled route is completed. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
