Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Actual conditions of a roadway segment are estimated by providing roadway condition data to a processor for the roadway segment from a plurality of different types of sources of the roadway condition data, assigning a quality to each of the plurality of different types of sources of the roadway condition data, and estimating in the processor the actual conditions of the roadway segment by using the roadway condition data and the quality of each of the plurality of different types of sources of the roadway data. The quality determines weightings given to each of the plurality of different types of sources.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method of estimating actual conditions of a roadway segment embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the method comprising: providing roadway condition data to a processor for a plurality of data points along the roadway segment from a plurality of different sources of the roadway condition data, wherein the plurality of different sources are organized by source types, wherein a hierarchy defines which type of source is u…
