Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for providing users with access to a route for travelling. A user, of a client device, may send a request for access to the route to a route planning service. The route may correspond to a starting location and an ending location. The route planning service may query a route database to identify an entry indicating that a restricted access road segment (e.g., a high occupancy vehicle lane, a shoulder lane, a bus lane, etc.) and/or a road segment (e.g., comprising a traffic light alteration capability) exists between the starting location and the ending location. Responsive to successfully authorizing the user for travelling the restricted access road segment and/or the road segment, the route, comprising the restricted access road segment and/or the road segment, may be provided to the client device.

One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for to creating an avoidance zone spatially proximate a venue, where the avoidance zone is created based upon identifying road segments where increased traffic congestion is expected due to an event at the venue. Information pertaining to the avoidance zone, such as a description of road segments to avoid and/or expected travel delays, may be provided to a route planner configured to develop vehicle routes. In this way, the route planner can take into consideration the impact of events on one or more road segments when planning a route.

The environmental impact of vehicle transit through an area is often evaluated through indirect and/or aggregate metrics, such as visibility and/or health effects from smog, or the contamination of air or water quality. However, such environmental metrics may be inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, and/or insufficient to inform a user of a vehicle as to the environmental impact of the vehicle transit of his or her vehicle on the environment. Instead, a vehicle device may collect driving metrics for a vehicle, and may transmit such driving metrics to an environmental monitoring service, which may correlate such driving metrics for the vehicle with the environmental impact. A notification of environmental impact may be transmitted back to the vehicle device, which may present the environmental impact to the user, and/or may adjust an autonomous operation of the vehicle, such as a speed or route of the vehicle, in view of the environmental impact.

Various types of vehicle navigation may facilitate a driver of a vehicle, including lane suggestions (e.g., a message indicating that the current route of the vehicle involves an exit from the rightmost lane of a causeway). A device may be configured to formulate lane change suggestions by detecting a current lane of the driver; comparing the travel conditions of the current lane with the travel conditions of other lanes of the causeway; and presenting a lane change suggestion of another lane presenting advantageous travel conditions as compared with the current lane. The inclusion of the current lane in the selection and formulation of lane change suggestions may improve the relevance of the suggestions (e.g., presenting lane change suggestions only if the travel condition of another lane is advantageous over the current lane, and presenting lane change suggestions relative to the current lane, e.g., "move two lanes to the left").

Vehicular travel may be facilitated by user interfaces presenting travel information. Such user interfaces often involve visual displays positioned peripherally to a window through which an individual operates the vehicle (e.g., displays mounted in a dash or console) and/or non-visual interfaces (e.g., audio, speech recognition, and manual controls). While presenting visuals on the window obscuring the view of the individual may present safety concerns, peripherally presented visual interfaces that distract the gaze of the individual may raise comparable or greater concerns. Instead, visual user interfaces may be displayed on the window through which the individual operates the vehicle (e.g., a windshield or individual eyewear) to presents visuals representing travel information received from a travel service, such as routing, traffic congestion, highlighting vehicles or routes, and rendering non- visible objects (e.g., obscured traffic control signals). Such user interfaces enable user interaction while allowing the individual to maintain gaze through the window.

One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for managing traffic, such as road traffic. When a traffic authority indicates a desire to reduce load on a route or within a particular geographic zone, an offer is provided to a group of one or more users. The offer is indicative of a reward provided to the users in return for avoiding the route during a specified time window. If a user accepts the offer, movement of the user is monitored during the specified time window to verify that the user avoided the route, in which case the reward is provided to the user. If an insufficient number of offers are accepted (e.g., to achieve a desired load reduction), the offer communicated to the users is adjusted (e.g., to increase an incentive for users to accept the offer). Outstanding offers are revoked once a sufficient number of offers are accepted (e.g., to achieve the desired load reduction).

Techniques and systems are provided for estimating parking occupancy. For a paid parking period, parking meter transaction data is acquired for a parking meter encompassed by a zone of parking spaces. The parking meter transaction data is evaluated to determine status data, such as an estimation of whether one or more parking spaces are available, occupied, and/or will become available. A parking occupancy, indicative of a likelihood of available parking spaces, is estimated based upon the status data. For a free parking period, the parking occupancy is estimated based upon vehicle flow data that is indicative of vehicles entering, parking, and leaving the parking spaces. In this way, the parking occupancy may be provided to a driver to mitigate wasted time and gas otherwise spent searching for an available parking space.

Transit through an area by a population of travelers may be evaluated by a number of techniques, and may be useful for routing, transit time estimation, and transit control. Some techniques involve the use of probes, such as individuals or vehicles that are tagged and trackable through the area. However, estimating properties such as transit queue volume through probe counts may be difficult, as the ratio of probes to the overall population may vary. Presented herein are techniques for estimating transit properties by evaluating transit queues to estimate the probe ratio for an area. Such techniques involve counting and tracking the probes in a transit queue to estimate a queue length change of the transit queue, and a probe rate change of probes entering and exiting the transit queue. This information may inform estimates of the probe ratio, and in turn regional transit estimates, such as transit queue volumes.

Users who are traveling on a path between a first location and a second location may be informed by navigation devices about the user's selected route. The path may also feature two or more lanes, which may present comparative advantages (e.g., a toll-restricted lane may present less traffic, and a toll-free lane may present more traffic at a reduced cost). Presented herein are techniques for enabling navigation devices to advise users about the lanes of the path. A travel service may collect information about the respective lanes, such as traffic density and the typical travel duration of users utilizing the lane during various periods, and may transmit information about the predicted travel durations of the respective lanes to the device. Such information may enable the device to advise the user to choose a selected lane, according to the predicted travel durations of the lanes of the path.

Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for authorizing an action using vehicle identification information (e.g., supplied by a vehicle) and user identification information (e.g., supplied by a mobile device associated with a user of the vehicle). Such an action may relate to, among other things, refueling the vehicle, parking the vehicle, using a fee-based road segment, and/or other vehicle-centric actions, for example. Moreover, in one embodiment, as part of the authorization, a payment transaction may be initiated by an authorization system configured to authorize the action.
