Generating visual information associated with traffic
View Patent ↗Disclosed herein is a traveler information monitoring and dissemination system. The system disclosed herein provides real time information to a traveler, wherein the real time information may be pre-selected by the traveler. The system ensures consistent and quality data are produced and issued to the traveler.
1. A method for generating visual information associated with traffic, the method comprising:
receiving information relating to real-time traffic conditions;
identifying a real-world traffic route, wherein the traffic route is color coded based on the real-time traffic conditions; and
generating a traffic model of the real-world traffic route, the traffic model including:
the color coded traffic route,
at least one thoroughfare image,
at least one thoroughfare identifier,
at least one structure identifier when at least one structure is present on the real-world traffic route,
a visual representation of at least one vehicle, and
a visual representation of a landscape.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the visual representation of the landscape includes textured topography.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the visual representation of the landscape is a three-dimensional representation.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the visual representation of the landscape includes satellite imagery.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the visual representation of the landscape includes aerial imagery.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the visual representation of the landscape includes at least one three-dimensional landmark.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the at least one landmark is a three-dimensional landmark.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one vehicle is color coded based on the real-time traffic conditions.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising updating the position, speed, and acceleration of the at least one vehicle in real time.
