Abstract
A system and method for determining an optimal route between an origin and a destination along one or more road segments is provided. The system includes a controller disposed within a vehicle and configured to determine the optimal route between the origin and the destination. A first data source provides the server with data regarding current and/or future conditions on a plurality of road segments. A second data source provides the server with data regarding actual traversals of the plurality of road segments. The system solves a backward problem to extract probability distribution functions for how each of several factors affect time and energy required to traverse each of the plurality of road segments. The system also solves a forward problem to apply the probability distribution functions, using data regarding actual conditions to determine the optimal route that is optimized for both of time and energy consumption.
