摘要： Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems for forecasting traffic and concurrently presenting images of forecasted traffic are disclosed to facilitate more efficient departure and/or navigation by providing an outlook of anticipated traffic flow for an area and/or a route (e.g., associated with an origin and destination), for example. A predicted traffic pattern and/or associated navigation may be provided and/or generated based upon traffic data (e.g., historical traffic data, current traffic data, and/or predicted traffic data). Additionally, a suggested departure time may be provided to mitigate travel time to and/or from a destination, for example. Accepted suggestions may be associated with predicted traffic data to update predicted traffic patterns (e.g., predicted traffic data) thereafter. Accordingly, travelers may be provided with traffic forecasting to enable more desirable travel experiences (e.g., shorter travel times).

摘要： One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for determining whether a vehicle comprises a sufficient amount of fuel to reach a destination. Making such a determination may comprise, among other things, estimating an amount of fuel required to reach the destination and/or estimating a rate of consumption along a travel route. Such estimates may be based upon factors external to the vehicle, including, among other things, topology of the travel route, current and/or predicted traffic patterns along the travel route, and/or driving habits of a user or others whom have navigated a similar route (or at least a portion of the route). When it is determined that the vehicle comprises an insufficient amount of fuel, a refueling notice indicative of the determination may be provided. In one embodiment, such a refueling may also suggest possible refueling stations along the travel route.

摘要： Location-based devices ( e.g. , GPS receivers) may be used to identify and track traffic conditions. However, such scenarios are difficult to extend to the identification of relevant facts other than traffic, such as road or weather conditions ( e.g. , debris, animals, or ice). Presented herein are techniques for receiving and aggregating reports of location-based conditions received from users, either spontaneously ("I just witnessed an accident") or in response to a query ( e.g. , "did you encounter road ice one kilometer ago?"). From such reports, location conditions of respective locations may be automatically extracted ( e.g. , using natural-language parsing techniques), and users in the vicinity of or routing through a particular location may be automatically notified of location conditions ( e.g. , "ice reported one kilometer ahead"). Such systems may also communicate with users in a voice-only interface while the user is operating a vehicle, and may additionally receive and utilize vehicle telemetry to determine location conditions.

摘要： Techniques are described for generating and using information regarding road traffic in various ways, including by obtaining and analyzing road traffic information regarding actual behavior of drivers of vehicles on a network of roads. Obtained actual driver behavior information may in some situations be analyzed to identify decision point locations at which drivers face choices corresponding to possible alternative routes through the network of roads ( e.g. , intersections, highway exits and/or entrances, etc.), as well as to track the actual use by drivers of particular paths between particular decision points in order to determine preferred compound links between those decision point locations. The identified and determined information from the analysis may then be used in various manners, including in some situations to assist in determining particular recommended or preferred routes of vehicles through the network of roads based at least in part on actual driver behavior information.

摘要： Techniques are described for assessing road traffic conditions in various ways based on obtained traffic-related data, such as data samples from vehicles and other mobile data sources traveling on the roads, as well as in some situations data from one or more other sources (such as physical sensors near to or embedded in the roads). The assessment of road traffic conditions based on obtained data samples may include various filtering and/or conditioning of the data samples, and various inferences and probabilistic determinations of traffic-related characteristics of interest from the data samples. In some situations, the inferences include repeatedly determining traffic flow characteristics for road segments of interest during time periods of interest, such as to determine average traffic speed, traffic volume and/or occupancy, and include weighting various data samples in various ways (e.g., based on a latency of the data samples and/or a source of the data samples).
