  • Publication number: 20240242848
    Abstract: In an illustrative embodiment, systems and methods for automatically building a control population closely matched to a member population and applying the control population in establishing medical outcome comparison metrics with the member population includes accessing demographic information for the member population, classifying the members into demographic groups of demographic categories including age, gender, and/or geography, accessing medical data of the member population, and classifying the members into condition groups of medical condition categories. The systems and methods may include using the demographic and medical condition classifications to match members of the member population to individuals of a control population. The systems and methods may include analyzing the member population in view of the matching individuals of the control population in relation to health outcomes, medical efforts, and/or healthcare utilization.

  • Patent number: 10928521
    Abstract: Systems and methods for using a plurality of probe reports to augment a geographic database with traffic volume data. The plurality of probe reports are identified for a road segment for a time period. A probe value is determined for the road segment for the time period based on the plurality of probe reports. A probe probability value is calculated for the road segment for the time period based on the probe value. The probe probability value is adjusted using road attributes. The adjusted probe probability value is used to estimate traffic volume. The geographic database is augmented with the estimated traffic volume.

  • Publication number: 20180349792
    Abstract: An approach is provided for generating parking occupancy data using a machine learning model. The approach involves determining one or more classification features of a road link. The approach also involves processing the one or more classification features using the machine learning model to match the road link to a link category. The approach further involves determining a parking occupancy pattern for the road link based on the link category. The approach further involves creating or updating a parking occupancy record of a geographic record corresponding to road link using the parking occupancy pattern.

  • Patent number: 10132643
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing navigation services including illumination data. A request for a route is received with one or more preferences related to illumination for the route. One or more road segments that have illumination road attributes that correspond to the one or more preferences are selected. The illumination road attributes are calculated as a function of high beam frequency for the one or more road segments. The route is generated including the one or more road segments. The route is provided with the illumination road attributes.
