Patent number: 11340091Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for storing and accessing traffic data images in a limited bandwidth environment. A traffic map image database is stored in a navigation device, where the database includes a plurality of traffic map images. A traffic condition is determined for a location of the navigation device. A traffic map image is retrieved from the database using a processor, where the traffic map image reflects the traffic condition for the location of the navigation device. The traffic map image is displayed on the navigation device.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2019Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: HERE Global B.V.Inventors: Sunil Kumar Chintakindi, Andrew Calkins, Joy Hoeffler, Pedro Alvarez-Tabio Togores

Patent number: 10809067Abstract: An initial geometry including one dimensional representation of a path is accessed. The initial geometry may be based on traffic data. An envelope size is identified based on the path. The envelope size may be derived from a width, functional classification, or lane quantity associated with the path. A processor calculates a supplemental geometry based on the envelope size for the path and generates a two dimensional representation of the path based on the initial geometry, the supplemental geometry, and the envelope size.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2017Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: HERE Global B.V.Inventors: Pedro Alvarez Tabio Togores, Sunil Kumar Chintakindi, Andrew Calkins, Joy Hoeffler

Patent number: 8880333Abstract: A method and system for calculating a green route using an effective slope is disclosed. A route calculation application calculates one or more routes from an origin to a destination. For each of the routes, the route calculation application calculates an associated fuel consumption value. The fuel consumption value is based on effective slope for segments in the route. The effective slope is a value that is based on the impact slope has on the fuel consumption of a vehicle traveling on the segment.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2010Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: HERE Global B.V.Inventor: Andrew Calkins

Patent number: 8755993Abstract: A method and system for determining energy efficient routes is described. Map data represents road segments. Energy consumption data is obtained while a vehicle travels on a first road segment. Energy consumption data associated with the first road segment can be used to predict the expected energy consumption when traveling on a second road segment that has similar physical attributes to those of the first road segment. The predicted energy consumption data may be used to determine whether the second road segment is part of a most energy efficient route.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2011Date of Patent: June 17, 2014Assignee: Navteq B.V.Inventors: Andrew Calkins, Eric N.
