Estimating travel time
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A machine-implemented method of estimating travel time, the method comprising:
- determining, using one or more processors, a general travel time for a first route;
determining, using the one or more processors, a personal travel time for the first route based on travel data of a user while traveling the first route;
determining, using the one or more processors, a scaling factor based on at least one travel characteristic associated with the user or the route; and
estimating, using the one or more processors, a travel time for a second route based on the general travel time, the personal travel time and the scaling factor,wherein the estimating the travel time comprises solving the equation;
ETT=GTT+(PTT−
GTT)*C, wherein ETT represents the estimated travel time, GTT represents the general travel time, PTT represents the personal travel time and C represents the scaling factor.

Abstract
A system and method for estimating travel time are provided. A general travel time is determined for a first route. A personal travel time for the first route is determined based on travel data of a user while traveling the first route. A scaling factor is determined based on at least one travel characteristic associated with the user or the route. A travel time for is estimated a second route based on the general travel time, the personal travel time and the scaling factor.

20. A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, which when executed by a system, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
-
for each segment of multiple segments included within a route; determining a general travel time for the segment; determining a personal travel time for the segment based on travel data of a user while traveling the segment; determining a scaling factor for the segment based on at least one travel characteristic associated with the user or the segment; and estimating a travel time for the segment based on the general travel time, the personal travel time and the scaling factor, wherein the estimating the travel time comprises solving the equation;
ETT=GTT+(PTT−
GTT)*C,wherein ETT represents the estimated travel time, GTT represents the general travel time, PTT represents the personal travel time and C represents the scaling factor; and totaling the estimated travel times for the multiple segments, to determine a total estimated travel time for the route.
