Patent number: 11634143Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for providing users with access to a route for travelling. A user, of a client device, may send a request for access to the route to a route planning service. The route may correspond to a starting location and an ending location. The route planning service may query a route database to identify an entry indicating that a restricted access road segment (e.g., a high occupancy vehicle lane, a shoulder lane, a bus lane, etc.) and/or a road segment (e.g., comprising a traffic light alteration capability) exists between the starting location and the ending location. Responsive to successfully authorizing the user for travelling the restricted access road segment and/or the road segment, the route, comprising the restricted access road segment and/or the road segment, may be provided to the client device.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2020Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: INRIX, INC.Inventors: Christopher Scofield, Dominic Jordan, Uri Lavee, Kevin James Foreman, William Schwebel

Publication number: 20200317200Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for training and/or utilizing a traffic obstruction identification model for identifying traffic obstructions based upon vehicle location point data. For example, a training dataset, comprising sample vehicle location points (e.g., global positioning system location points of vehicles) and traffic obstruction identification labels (e.g., locations of known traffic obstructions such as stop signs, crosswalks, stop lights, etc.), may be evaluated to extract a set of training features indicative of traffic flow patterns. The set of training features and the traffic obstruction identification labels may be used to train a traffic obstruction identification model to create a trained traffic obstruction identification model. The trained traffic obstruction identification model may be used to determine whether a road segment has a traffic obstruction or not.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2020Publication date: October 8, 2020Inventors: Judith Rosalyn Elgie, Dominic Jordan

Patent number: 9940836Abstract: Transit through an area by a population of travelers may be evaluated by a number of techniques, and may be useful for routing, transit time estimation, and transit control. Some techniques involve the use of probes, such as individuals or vehicles that are tagged and trackable through the area. However, estimating properties such as transit queue volume through probe counts may be difficult, as the ratio of probes to the overall population may vary. Presented herein are techniques for estimating transit properties by evaluating transit queues to estimate the probe ratio for an area. Such techniques involve counting and tracking the probes in a transit queue to estimate a queue length change of the transit queue, and a probe rate change of probes entering and exiting the transit queue. This information may inform estimates of the probe ratio, and in turn regional transit estimates, such as transit queue volumes.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2015Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: INRIX, INC.Inventors: Christopher L.

Patent number: 9418545Abstract: A method of identifying congestion comprising the steps of monitoring traffic conditions using off call tracking data relating to cellular mobile communication devices carried in vehicles along an off call path and determining when an off call path crossing time of the call path exceeds a threshold. When the off call path crossing time exceeds the threshold, obtaining traffic data from probe vehicles on roads corresponding to the off call path, and analyzing the traffic data to determine the location of the congestion along the off call path.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2012Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: INRIX HOLDING LIMITEDInventors: Alex Petrie, Dominic Jordan, Jonathan Burr

Publication number: 20140279012Abstract: For an advertisement opportunity near a travel region, advertisements may be selected that are targeted to individuals who are likely to view the advertisement. However, travel patterns among individuals sharing particular traits may exist that facilitate targeted advertising, but may be non-intuitive and therefore difficult to predict, and other techniques, such as population surveys, may be costly and inaccurate. Presented herein are techniques for automatically evaluating travel patterns by tracking the routes of particular individuals, and inferring demographics for such individuals based on the locations of their routes (e.g., an individual whose route frequently includes a residence may be presumed to share the population demographics of the residential neighborhood). Extrapolating such individual demographics may enable inference of shared demographics at particular advertisement opportunities (e.g.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Inventors: Christopher L.
