  • Patent number: 10909366
    Abstract: A system accesses a plurality of ratio values for similar AOIs, each ratio value indicating a ratio between a count of device users at a similar AOI and a count of vehicles of the similar AOI. The similar AOIs are AOIs that have measurable characteristics within a range of similarity with those of the target AOI. The count of vehicles of the similar AOI is generated using aerial imagery received for the similar AOI. The count of device users at the similar AOI is extracted from third party data for the similar AOI. The system accesses a count of a number of reported device users at the target AOI, and generates an estimate of the vehicle count for the target AOI using the count of the number of reported device users at the target AOI and a combination of the plurality of ratio values for similar AOIs.
