Abstract

Method, computer program product, and apparatus for providing navigation guidance to vehicles are disclosed. The method may include receiving crowdsourcing data from a plurality of vehicles, determining information corresponding to a route of interest to at least one vehicle using the crowdsourcing data, and providing navigation guidance to the at least one vehicle using the information determined. The crowdsourcing data includes on board diagnostics data (OBD) correlated with time stamps and GPS locations of a vehicle, where the on board diagnostics data includes odometer information, speedometer information, fuel consumption information, steering information, and impact data.

First claim

We claim:

1. A method of providing navigation guidance to vehicles, comprising:
receiving crowdsourcing data from a plurality of vehicles, wherein the crowdsourcing data includes on board diagnostics data (OBD) correlated with time stamps and GPS locations of a vehicle; and wherein the on board diagnostics data includes odometer information, speedometer information, fuel consumption information, steering information, and impact data;
determining information corresponding to a ro…
