  • Publication number: 20240094017
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device displays suggested routes based on the characteristics of respective vehicles. In some embodiments, an electronic device receives data for respective vehicles from a source external to the electronic device. In some embodiments, an electronic device anonymizes a vehicle identifier and determines customized suggested routes using the anonymized vehicle identifier. In some embodiments, Starting Charge Maps and/or Buffer Maps are generated and/or utilized for route generation or suggestion.

  • Publication number: 20180051995
    Abstract: Computing shortcuts for cells used in cell-based routing in a mobile navigation system re-computes shortcuts based on updated traffic conditions and estimated time of arrival (ETA) at an entry to the cell. Shortcuts are computed on demand and stored in a last recently used (LRU) cache. Shortcuts are computed using cost functions stored in the LRU cache. Shortcuts are computed in accordance with metadata stored in the LRU cache. Shortcuts are optionally based on predicted ETA and future traffic conditions to provide accurate estimates of best cost routes.

  • Publication number: 20180052002
    Abstract: Live traffic routing in a mobile navigation system generates alternate routes based on the user's current location, live traffic conditions and estimated time of arrival at certain locations along the route. Live traffic routing re-ranks alternate routes taking into account which routes offer the best cost path to the user's destination.

  • Publication number: 20170356752
    Abstract: A route-biased search in a mobile navigation system locates points of interest (POI) on or convenient to a mobile user's current travel. The route-biased search operates in two modes, navigation and non-navigation. The navigation mode identifies the most convenient POIs that honor the mobile user's route to their destination. The non-navigation mode identifies the most convenient POIs that are located ahead of the user based on the user's inferred direction of travel. The route-biased search determines the best possible routes to the identified POIs taking into account the impact of the detour costs of traveling to the POI along with other ranking factors.
