First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining an average speed, the method comprising:
- receiving, via one or more processors, operational data comprising vehicle telematics data, the vehicle telematics data (a) being indicative of one or more vehicle dynamics for a vehicle during one or more time periods, (b) collected by a telematics device affixed to the vehicle, and (c) downloaded by a remote computing device;
determining, via the one or more processors, a distance traveled by the vehicle within a geographical area during the one or more time periods;
identifying, via the one or more processors, one or more travel delay segments during the one or more time periods;
determining, via the one or more processors, a duration of the identified travel delay segments;
determining, via the one or more processors, based on the distance traveled and the duration of the travel delay segments, a value indicative of the average amount of travel delay time per unit of distance within the geographical area;
identifying, via the one or more processors, time information associated with traveling from a first location to a second location, wherein the first location and the second location are within the geographical area;
identifying, via the one or more processors, distance information associated with traveling from the first location to the second location;
identifying, via the one or more processors, travel delay information associated with traveling from the first location to the second location; and
determining, via the one or more processors, an average speed for traveling from the first location to the second location based at least in part on the time information, the distance information, and the travel delay information.

Abstract
Computer program products, methods, systems, apparatus, and computing entities are provided for forecasting travel delays corresponding to streets, street segments, geographic areas, geofenced areas, and/or user-specified criteria. And from the forecasted travel delays, speed and travel times that take into account such travel delays can be determined.

7. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
-
receive operational data comprising vehicle telematics data, the vehicle telematics data (a) being indicative of one or more vehicle dynamics for a vehicle during one or more time periods, (b) collected by a telematics device affixed to the vehicle, and (c) downloaded by a remote computing device; determine a distance traveled by the vehicle within a geographical area during the one or more time periods; identify one or more travel delay segments during the one or more time periods; determine a duration of the identified travel delay segments; determine based on the distance traveled and the duration of the travel delay segments, a value indicative of the average amount of travel delay time per unit of distance within the geographical area; identify time information associated with traveling from a first location to a second location, wherein the first location and the second location are within the geographical area; identify distance information associated with traveling from the first location to the second location; identify travel delay information associated with traveling from the first location to the second location; and determine an average speed for traveling from the first location to the second location based at least in part on the time information, the distance information, and the travel delay information. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
