First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
a memory that stores code executable by the processor to;
receive travel data over a network from a plurality of different sources and a plurality of devices associated with different users in response to requesting travel data from each of the different users travelling to a location, the travel data comprising data associated with one or more factors that affect an arrival time of each user at the location;
calculate an estimated arrival time at the location for each user of the one or more users based on the travel data;
determine a percentage of users that will arrive at the location at different periods of time before and after a target arrival time based on the estimated arrival times; and
present the estimated arrival time at the location for each user of the one or more users and the percentage of users that will arrive at different periods of time before and after the target arrival time.

Abstract
Apparatuses, method, systems, and program products are disclosed for forecasting arrival times. A method includes receiving, by a processor, travel data in response to requesting travel data from each of one or more users travelling to a location. The travel data includes data associated with one or more factors that affect an arrival time of each user at the location. A method includes calculating an estimated arrival time at the location for each user of the one or more users based on the travel data. A method includes presenting the estimated arrival time at the location for each user of the one or more users.
