Patent number: 11900800Abstract: An approach is provided for determining tunnel speed for a vehicle travelling through a tunnel. A tunnel processing platform aggregates probe data associated with at least one vehicle into at least one tunnel path based, at least in part, on a network geometry topology for at least one tunnel. The tunnel processing platform also designates at least one probe point collected upstream of the at least one tunnel as at least one starting point of the at least one tunnel path and at least one temporary probe point as at least one endpoint of the at least one tunnel path, wherein the at least one temporary probe point is downstream of the at least one tunnel. It then determines at least one temporary tunnel speed for the at least one tunnel path based, at least in part, on the timestamp for the at least one probe point and the current time associated with the at least one temporary probe point.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2019Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: HERE Global B.V.Inventors: James Fowe, Finn Swingley

Patent number: 9109914Abstract: A method and system for calculating an energy efficient route 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 uses impedance factor data associated with each segment in the route. The impedance factor is calculated using probe data when the probe data is available for a road segment. When probe data is unavailable, the impedance factor is calculated using machine learning techniques that analyze the results of the impedance factor classifications for road segments having probe data.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2013Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: HERE Global B.V.Inventors: Praveen J. Arcot, Justin M. Spelbrink, Finn A. Swingley, Matthew G. Lindsay

Patent number: 7856310Abstract: A method is disclosed for developing traffic messages. The method obtains traffic data indicating collected traffic speeds at various locations on a road network. Traffic messages are developed from the traffic data. The method obtains ground truth data indicating ground truth speeds at a subset of the locations on the road network. The ground truth speed represents average speed of vehicles at one of the locations. For those locations for which ground truth speed has been obtained, the method computes a traffic quality value comparing the collected traffic speed to the ground truth speed for the location. The traffic messages and traffic quality data representative of the traffic quality values are transmitted.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2009Date of Patent: December 21, 2010Assignee: Navteq North America, LLCInventors: Bishnu Phuyal, Michael Brian Lane, Lawrence M. Peterson, Finn A. Swingley, William King Sedore, Victoria Leila Tanzar, Matthew Richard Zdano
