METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSMITTING DATA TO A TRAFFIC INFORMATION SERVER
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting data to a traffic information server, the method comprising:
- obtaining, at a mobile vehicle, data including at least one of a vehicle speed and a vehicle location at a then-current time;
determining whether the data is redundant by at least one of;
comparing the data with other data previously transmitted to the traffic information server from an other mobile vehicle;
ordetermining whether the data falls within an expected range for a predetermined time interval; and
transmitting the data, via a wireless communication system, to the traffic information server from the mobile vehicle if the data is determined to be non-redundant.

Abstract
A method for transmitting data to a traffic information server includes obtaining, at a mobile vehicle, data including at least one of a vehicle speed and a vehicle location at a then-current time, and determining whether the data is redundant. Determining whether the data is redundant may be accomplished by at least one of comparing the data with other data previously transmitted to the traffic information server from an other mobile vehicle or determining whether the data falls within an expected range for a predetermined time interval. The method further includes transmitting the data, via a wireless communication system, to the traffic information server from the mobile vehicle if the data is determined to be non-redundant. Also disclosed herein is a system to perform the method.

11. A method for transmitting data to a traffic information server, the method comprising:
-
transmitting data, via a wireless communication system, to the traffic information server from a first mobile vehicle; communicating other data from a second mobile vehicle to the first mobile vehicle; comparing the other data received from the second mobile vehicle with the data transmitted from the first mobile vehicle; and transmitting the other data, via a wireless communication system, to the traffic information server from the second mobile vehicle if the other data is different from the data transmitted from the first mobile vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A traffic information system, comprising:
-
a first mobile vehicle configured to obtain data including at least one of a vehicle speed and a vehicle location at a then-current time; means for determining whether the data is redundant, wherein the means for determining is configured to; compare the data with other data from a second mobile vehicle;
ordetermine if the data falls within an expected range for a predetermined period of time; and a traffic information server in selective operative communication with the first and second mobile vehicles and configured to receive a transmission including the data if the data is determined to be non-redundant. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
