Deviation detection in mobile transit systems
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a memory configured to store target routes for a plurality of transit routes; and
a controller configured to;
receive data indicative of a location of a mobile device;
access a target route based on the location of the mobile device, wherein the target route is defined by path widths from collected data from past trips on the plurality of transit routes;
compare the target route and the location of the mobile device or a subsequent location of the mobile device to determine whether the location of the mobile device deviates from the target route; and
adjust, when the comparison of the target route and the location of the mobile device determines a deviation from the target route, the target route based on the deviation.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a mobile device or a network device is configured to identify when a transit vehicle deviates from a transit path. The mobile device is configured to perform a positioning technique to generate data indicative of the location of a mobile device. Based on the location of the mobile device, a path is identified. The path is associated with an estimated path width based on the classification of the path and/or the accuracy of the positioning technique. A target route is calculated using the estimated path width. As the transit vehicle travels, the target route is compared to the location of the mobile device. If the mobile device and or transit vehicle deviates from the target route, a message is generated. The message may indicate that the transit vehicle is being re-routed and/or recommends the computation of a new path.

1. An apparatus comprising:
-
a memory configured to store target routes for a plurality of transit routes; and a controller configured to; receive data indicative of a location of a mobile device; access a target route based on the location of the mobile device, wherein the target route is defined by path widths from collected data from past trips on the plurality of transit routes; compare the target route and the location of the mobile device or a subsequent location of the mobile device to determine whether the location of the mobile device deviates from the target route; and adjust, when the comparison of the target route and the location of the mobile device determines a deviation from the target route, the target route based on the deviation. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

8. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a controller, data indicative of a location of a mobile device; accessing, by the controller, a target route based on the location of the mobile device, wherein the target route is defined by path widths from collected data from past trips on the plurality of transit routes; comparing, by the controller, the target route and the location of the mobile device or a subsequent location of the mobile device to determine whether the location of the mobile device deviates from the target route; and adjusting, by the controller when the comparison of the target route and the location of the mobile device determines a deviation from the target route, the target route based on the deviation. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions that, when executed, are operable to:
-
receive data indicative of a location of a mobile device; access a target route based on the location of the mobile device, wherein the target route is defined by path widths from collected data from past trips on the plurality of transit routes; compare the target route and the location of the mobile device or a subsequent location of the mobile device to determine whether the location of the mobile device deviates from the target route; and adjust, when the comparison of the target route and the location of the mobile device determines a deviation from the target route, the target route based on the deviation. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
