1. A system that facilitates analyzing time-related data, comprising:
- at least one processor adapted to implement;
an interface component that receives a packet of information that includes a plurality of predictions and timing information associated therewith, the timing information indicating at least one of a time when sensor data on which a prediction of the plurality of predictions is based was obtained or a predicted time of an event that is predicted within the plurality of predictions; and
a time-analysis component communicatively coupled to the interface component that compares the timing information associated with the plurality of predictions with a current time and makes a determination relating to output of at least one of the plurality of predictions based at least in part upon the comparison, the determination indicating that information associated with the prediction is output when the information is relevant at the current time,wherein;
when the timing information indicates a time when sensor data on which the prediction of the plurality of predictions is based was obtained, the determination indicates that information associated with the prediction is not output when the sensor data is out of date at the current time because of a delay in sensor data reaching a component that generated the prediction;
when the timing information indicates a predicted time of an event that is predicted within the plurality of predictions, the determination indicates that information associated with the prediction is output when the predicted time of the event has not passed; and
the plurality of predictions relate to traffic conditions associated with one or more regions of a roadway at a predicted time.

Abstract
A system that facilitates analyzing time-related data comprises an interface component that receives a packet of information that includes a plurality of predictions and timing information associated therewith. A time-analysis component communicatively coupled to the interface component compares the timing information associated with the plurality of predictions with a current time and makes a determination relating to output of at least one of the plurality of predictions based at least in part upon the comparison.

15. A method for analyzing time-related data, comprising:
with at least one processor; receiving predictive data with timing information associated with the predictive data, the timing information indicating a time when the predictive data was obtained; determining a current time; comparing the current time to the time information associated with the predictive data to determine whether the predictive data is out of date at the current time because of a delay in receipt of the predictive data; and based at least in part on the comparing indicating that the predictive data is not out of date; making a prediction based on the predictive data; and selectively outputting the prediction, wherein the prediction relates to traffic conditions associated with one or more regions of a roadway. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
