Method and system for mapping traffic predictions with respect to telematics and route guidance applications
First Claim
1. A method for use in predicting load of traffic, the method comprising:
- estimating by a mapping system a number of vehicles traveling according to a non-reference route and predicted to deviate from a reference route at a route segment related to a forward time interval, based on a value corresponding to a number of responses generated by one or more match processes corresponding to said vehicles, wherein estimating comprises;
performing a predetermined differential traffic load match process by said one or more match processes corresponding to said vehicles in response to a traffic prediction update of a traffic prediction system; and
enabling a predetermined response procedure based on a predicted deviation of a vehicle in relation to said route segment related to said forward time interval.

Abstract
A method is provided for predicting load of traffic of vehicles that are travelling according to non reference route plan, provided with Dynamic Route Guidance capability of their PMMS, in a Forward Time Interval related Route Segment and according to a predetermined protocol between mobile systems and a non mobile system platform of a SODMS. Using mobile units, a traffic prediction query is receiving according to a predetermined differential traffic load match process. A match process is performed by each of the mobile units and, according to a match, a predetermined response procedure is enabled, wherein a response procedure in each mobile unit uses a predetermined random process to select an allocated slot in which to transmit a predetermined signal, which provides an improved way to predict traffic in conjunction with off line database statistics, preferably with such that are being adaptively corrected by prior data and method to predict traffic which do not include, or lack sufficient erratic traffic information.

28. A method comprising:
differentially predicting non expected traffic on a route segment in a forward time interval, based on a number of response procedures corresponding to a number of vehicles that are not expected to pass through the route segment in the forward time interval in relation to reference routes of the vehicles, wherein said vehicles are expected to pass through the route segment in the forward time interval according to non reference routes of said vehicles, wherein predicting comprises; in response to a traffic prediction update, performing a predetermined differential traffic load match process between a route plan of a vehicle and a reference rout of the vehicle according to traffic prediction; if, according to the match process, the vehicle plans to pass through the route segment in the forward time interval, and according to a reference route of the vehicle the vehicle is not planned to use the route segment in the forward time interval, then enabling a predetermined response procedure according to a prediction of a respective traffic increase effect on the route segment in the forward time interval. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31)
