7 Claims

1. A system, comprising:

at least one processor;

a display; and

memory containing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:

obtain a set of location intervals from a traffic data provider;

for each location interval in the set:

select, by at least one processor, a location interval from a map database, the location interval representing a road segment;

subdivide, by at least one processor, the respective location interval into a fixed number of sub-segments such that the sub-segments are equal in length,

identify, by at least one processor, each sub-segment as an offset with respect to the respective location interval, and

map, by at least one processor, traffic data to each sub-segment;

aggregating, by at least one processor, the mapped traffic data from all the sub-segments of all the location intervals in the set;

processing, by at least one processor, the aggregated traffic data into a defined flow vector format;

transmitting, by at least one processor, the processed flow vectors to a user device over a one-way broadcast and/or a two-way data communications network.
