  • Publication number: 20220171406
    Abstract: An approach for reducing transmission of probe car data over a network is provided. The approach includes using a processor to receive, at one or more processors remote from a vehicle, a first set of probe car data for the vehicle, wherein the first set of probe car data comprises a trigger event from a first time. The processor determine that no additional set of probe car data is received during a second time interval. The processor also determines that a trigger event has not occurred during the second time interval based on the determination that no additional set of probe car data was received. The processor also estimates an estimated probe car data for the vehicle at the second time interval based on the first set of probe car data and a non-trigger assumption.

  • Patent number: 10984014
    Abstract: A method is provided for consistent data processing by first and second distributed processing systems having different data partitioning and routing mechanisms such that the first system is without states and the second system is with states. The method includes dividing data in each system into a same number of partitions based on a same key and a same hash function. The method includes mapping partitions between the systems in a one-to-one mapping. The mapping step includes calculating a partition ID based on the hash function and a total number of partitions, and dynamically mapping a partition in the first system to a partition in the second system, responsive to the partition in the first system being unmapped to the partition in the second system.

  • Publication number: 20200250968
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for acquiring a velocity of a vehicle, detecting whether the velocity is in a fluctuating state, and determining that the vehicle is in traffic congestion, in response to a parameter of the velocity being less than or equal to a predetermined threshold value and the velocity being detected to be in the fluctuating state. The computer-implemented method may further be capable of acquiring a position of the vehicle and identifying a position of a tail end of the traffic congestion, based on the position of the vehicle determined to be in the traffic congestion. In exemplary embodiments, if a ratio of vehicles capable of acquiring information is low, then the accuracy of an estimation of traffic congestion also becomes low.
