Navigation system with traffic estimation mechanism and method of operation thereof
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of operation of a navigation system comprising:
- calculating a travel segment and a further segment each having a number of lanes, a speed limit, a number of stop lights, or a combination thereof for a navigation route, the travel segment having a travel feature associated with both the travel segment and the further segment;
estimating a base time for the travel segment;
estimating an incremental time for the travel feature with a control unit based on a difference between the travel segment and the further segment in the number of lanes, the speed limit, the number of stop lights, or a combination thereof; and
calculating a travel time with the base time and the incremental time for displaying on a device.

Abstract
A method of operation of a navigation system includes: calculating a travel segment of a navigation route, the travel segment having a travel feature; estimating a base time for the travel segment; estimating an incremental time for the travel feature; and calculating a travel time with the base time and the incremental time for displaying on a device.

15. A navigation system comprising:
-
a location unit for calculating a travel segment and a further segment each having a number of lanes, a speed limit, a number of stop lights, or a combination thereof for a navigation route, the travel segment having a travel feature associated with both the travel segment and the further segment; a control unit, coupled to the location unit, for; estimating a base time for the travel segment, estimating an incremental time for the travel feature based on a difference between the travel segment and the further segment in the number of lanes, the speed limit, the number of stop lights, or a combination thereof, and calculating a travel time with the base time and the incremental time for displaying on a device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
