First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for suggesting alternative transit points in a transit system, the method comprising:
- identifying, with one or more computing devices, a plurality of transit points of the transit system;
receiving, with the one or more computing devices, location information including geo-location paths of a plurality of mobile devices, each of the geo-location paths including one or more of the identified transit points;
determining, with the one or more computing devices, based on the received location information including the geo-location paths of the plurality of mobile devices, a congestion level for a first identified transit point; and
providing to a user, with the one or more computing devices, a suggested alternative transit point to the first identified transit point based on the determined congestion level.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for analyzing travel patterns in transit systems is provided. The method includes identifying an existing transit point of a transit system and receiving location information including geo-location paths of a plurality of mobile devices. Each of the geo-location paths includes the identified transit point. The method also includes determining a congestion level for transit points of the transit system based on the received location information. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

12. A system for suggesting alternative transit points in a transit system, the system comprising:
-
a memory storing executable instructions; and one or more processors coupled to the memory configured to execute the stored executable instructions to; identify a plurality of transit points of the transit system; receive location information including geo-location paths of a plurality of mobile devices, each of the geo-location paths including one or more of the identified transit points; determine, based on the received location information including the geo-location paths of the plurality of mobile devices, congestion levels for the identified transit points; and provide to a user a suggested alternative transit point to a selected one of the identified transit points based on the congestion level determination. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising:
machine-readable instructions for causing a one or more processors to execute a method for suggesting alternative transit points in a transit system, the method comprising; identifying a plurality of transit points of the transit system; selecting one of the identified transit points; receiving location information including geo-location paths of a plurality of mobile devices, each of the geo-location paths including one or more of the identified transit points; determining, based on the received location information including the gees-location paths of the plurality of mobile devices, a congestion level for the identified transit points; and providing to a user, based on the determined congestion levels for the identified transit points, a suggested alternative transit point to the selected identified transit point. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
