  • Method for controlling the provision of traffic informational data in order to update traffic information
    Patent number: 9528841
    Abstract: In a method for controlling provision of traffic informational data for updating traffic information, traffic information that was previously valid on a route section, and that was provided by a traffic service provider, for example, is allocated a first added value. A second time value is determined for traffic information on the route section updated virtually by traffic informational data generated from a vehicle. From a comparison of the first and second time values, a priority ratio may be obtained as a measured value for the benefit of transferring the traffic informational data generated in the vehicle to a traffic service provider for updating traffic information that was previously valid at the traffic service provider.
    Type: Grant

  • Methods for transmission and/or processing of traffic information
    Patent number: 8589077
    Abstract: A method of transmitting traffic information is provided, wherein the traffic information is forecast, a pattern for the traffic information is determined, and an indicator for identifying the pattern is transmitted. In a method for processing traffic information, an indicator for identifying a pattern is received, forecast traffic information is determined by use of the indicator, and a navigation is carried out by taking the forecast traffic information into account.
