SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING AN OPTIMAL ROUTE USING AGGREGATED ROUTE INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A system for providing navigation information comprising:
- a navigation server that receives route information from a plurality of mobile devices;
a storage module that stores the route information received from the plurality of mobile devices as aggregated route information;
a route calculation module that, in response to receipt of a request for direction information from a starting location to a destination location, calculates one or more potential routes from the starting location to the destination location; and
an optimal route determination module that determines which route of the one or more potential routes is an optimal route based on at least the aggregated route information and a preselected criterion.

Abstract
A system for providing navigation information is provided. A navigation server receives route information from multiple mobile devices. A storage module stores the route information received from the mobile devices as aggregated route information. In response to receipt of a request for direction information from a starting location to a destination location, a route calculation module calculates one or more potential routes from the starting location to the destination location. An optimal route determination module determines which route of the one or more potential routes is an optimal route. The optimal route is determined based on the aggregated route information and a preselected criterion.
