Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for increasing geospatial resolution of traffic information by dividing known location intervals into a fixed number of sub-segments not tied to any one map providers format, efficient coding of traffic information, and distribution of traffic information to end-user consuming devices over one or more satellite based broadcast transport medium and data communications network. Nationwide traffic service which can be encoded and distributed through a single broadcast service may be described herein. Aggregating traffic data from segments of multiple location intervals, into predefined and predetermined flow vectors, and sending flow vectors within a data stream to users may be described herein. Confidence levels obtained from raw traffic data can (i) be disclosed to drivers/users to supplement a very low signal (or no signal) speed and congestion report, and (ii) used in various system algorithms that decide what local anomalies or aberrations to filter out as noise.
