Traffic monitoring systems and methods
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- providing, by a mobile device, mobile device attribute data to a traffic monitoring subsystem;
receiving, by the mobile device, traffic condition data generated by the traffic monitoring subsystem based at least in part on the mobile device attribute data;
presenting, by the mobile device by way of a user interface, the traffic condition data for consideration by a user of the mobile device; and
providing, by the mobile device, an interface tool configured to be used by the user to report a traffic condition to the traffic monitoring subsystem;
wherein the presenting of the traffic condition data comprises presenting at least one ofan indication of a number of mobile devices that provided attribute data used by the traffic monitoring subsystem to generate the traffic condition data, andan indication of a confidence factor for the traffic condition data.

Abstract
In an exemplary method, a mobile device provides mobile device attribute data to a traffic monitoring subsystem, receives traffic condition data generated by the traffic monitoring subsystem based at least in part on the mobile device attribute data, presents, by way of a user interface, the traffic condition data for consideration by a user of the mobile device, and provides an interface tool configured to be used by the user to report a traffic condition to the traffic monitoring subsystem. In certain embodiments, the mobile device receives, by way of the interface tool, user input indicating a user observance of the traffic condition and provides, in response to the receiving of the user input, a notification of the user observance of the traffic condition to the traffic monitoring subsystem.
