Generating travel time data
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A server computer configured to produce a list of destinations, having a processor configured to:
- receive co-ordinates for a starting location;
receive a maximum travel time;
read processed graph data comprising nodes representing pre-filtered map features and edges that include representations of travel times between said nodes;
traverse said graph data to identify selected nodes that can be reached from said starting location via edges in said graph data within said maximum travel time;
receive candidate destinations;
for each candidate destination, identify whether it is geographically close to one of said selected nodes, and if so select it; and
output for display a list including said selected candidate destinations.

Abstract
The generation of travel time data is disclosed in which coordinates are received for a starting location (1901). A maximum travel time is received (1903) and processed graph data is read that includes nodes representing pre-filtered map features and edges representing travel times between nodes. A temporary graph is built (1907) of selected nodes that can be reached via selected edges within the maximum travel time. Candidate destinations are received (1908) and the travel time to these candidate destinations is tested (1909) with reference to the temporary graph.

6. A method of generating travel time data, comprising the steps taken by a processor of:
-
receiving coordinates for a starting location; receiving a maximum travel time; reading processed graph data comprising nodes representing pre-filtered map features and edges representing travel times between said nodes; traversing said graph data to identify selected nodes that can be reached from said starting location via edges in said graph data within said maximum travel time; receiving candidate destinations; for each candidate destination, identifying whether it is geographically close to one of said selected nodes, and if so selecting it; and outputting for display a list including said selected candidate destinations. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
