  • Systems and methods for dynamic routing of users
    Patent number: 12272239
    Abstract: Methods and systems for dynamically providing routes to users of vehicles. In some examples, a method includes determining a first traffic flow model for uninformed drivers of vehicles and determining a second traffic flow model for informed drivers of vehicles. Each of the informed drivers makes driving decisions based on receiving dynamic routes from a traffic routing system. The method includes iteratively updating the second traffic flow model using the first traffic flow model until a convergence criterion is met. The method includes sending, to at least one informed driver, a first dynamic route from a first origin to a first destination using the second traffic flow model.
