20140244158 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING NAVIGATIONAL GUIDANCE USING THE STATES OF TRAFFIC SIGNAL - A method and apparatus for predicting traffic on a transportation network where real time data points are missing. In one embodiment, the missing data is estimated using a calibration model comprised of historical data that can be periodically updated, from select links constituting a relationship vector. The missing data can be estimated off-line whereafter it can be used to predict traffic for at least a part of the network, the traffic prediction being calculated by using a deviation from a historical traffic on the network. The invention further discloses a method for in-vehicle navigation; and a method for traffic prediction for a single lane. | 08-28-2014 |
