Traffic information, including flow information and incident information, obtained through a traffic management system for providing and facilitating the exchange of traffic information between a remote location and a vehicle may be used in route calculation by a navigation device. The navigation device may recalculate a route based on anticipated user error. Alternatively, the navigation device may recalculate a route using received traffic information triggered by the receipt of a traffic information update, or triggered by the passage of an amount of time. The broadcast rate of traffic information updates may vary temporally (providing more frequent updates during peak commute times) or geographically (providing more frequent updates to metropolitan areas with increased traffic information needs). If route calculation is triggered by an elapsed amount of time, the amount of time may vary to be shorter during peak commute times. Additional route calculation techniques allow the incorporation of historical traffic information or the use of the most recent traffic information if incomplete traffic information is available. Still further route calculation techniques may calculate a best route by avoiding zigzagging or evaluating an assigned cost of a potential route.

An activity-based itinerary planning tool permits a trip planner to incrementally build and itinerary starting at a selected entry point and adding activities in a step-by-step manner, by taking into account commute times for different types of transportation and entry / exit conditions for particular activities / facilities in order to present the user with lists of all activities / facilities that can be reached from the entry point or from already selected activities / facilities.

A battery heater / cooler increases mileage, comfort and / or safety in a conventional, electric or hybrid electric vehicle. An enclosure around the battery or batteries includes an inlet for heated or cooled air or liquid and an outlet to facilitate the transfer of heated or cooled air into a passenger compartment. A second battery unit may be used in conjunction with a timer or a remote controlled device to pre-heat or pre-cool itself and the primary battery or batteries and / or passenger compartment before commute times.

The invention provides a method for calculating commuting time of an individual on the basis of GPS positioning data of a mobile terminal, belonging to the technical field of computer application. Themethod includes the following steps: calculating commuting tracks of users within a period of time and initializing a commuting track cluster set, and finding out two commuting track clusters which are shortest between each other in distance in the commuting track cluster set if the number of commuting track clusters is greater than one; if the distance between the two clusters is less than or equal to the maximum distance threshold, combining cluster commuting tracks corresponding to the two commuting track clusters in space and time, and then combining the two commuting track clusters; andif the number of the commuting track clusters cannot be reduced, ending clustering and obtaining commuting time corresponding to each commuting track through calculation. The commuting time of each user can be accurately calculated by conducting clustering on similar commuting tracks of the users, so the method has great application values for improving urban traffic conditions.

The invention discloses a commuting private car dynamic car-sharing recommendation method. The commuting private car dynamic car-sharing recommendation method comprises steps that license plates are input, and data is automatically identified, and is preprocessed to generate a car trajectory set; based on the urban vehicle trajectory set, by combining with the high repeatability and the periodicity of the time-space rules of the commuting private cars, a workday commuting private car identification algorithm is designed; by combining with the home-work addresses, the commuting time windows, and the workday dynamic influence factors (weather, accidents, and traffic)of the commuting private cars, the key characteristics affecting the car-sharing of the commuting private cars are extracted; based on the space-time characteristics of the commuting cars, the commuting cars having the similar commuting time-space rules are matched with each other, and by combining with dynamic influence factors affecting car-sharing wills of drivers, the dynamic factors are effectively combined with car-sharing demands of users in a time-space dimension, and therefore the dynamic car-sharing matching based on the wills of the users is realized, a long-term stable car-sharing mechanism is provided for the commuting private cars, and then the number of the private cars in the morning and evening rush hours is obviously reduced.

To assist in the development of travel plans, at least one first and at least one second user input mechanism is provided via a graphical user interface to a user. In response, first travel inputs and second travel inputs are received and respectively used to derive baseline and revised travel parameters, which travel parameters respectively include a baseline and revised environmental impact indication. The baseline and revised travel parameters, including the environmental impact indications, are presented via the graphical user interface. Difference values between the respective baseline and revised travel parameters may be determined and likewise presented. Furthermore, cost and commute time indications may be determined in a similar fashion, i.e., based on the first and second travel inputs, and subsequently presented. The environmental impact indications may be provided in the form of estimated carbon emissions.

The invention discloses a traffic isochronism visualization application method based on business map open data, which comprises the following steps: firstly, acquiring position data information of keypoints of urban transportation hubs such as bus stations, subway stations and the like from a business map according to a specified urban area, and forming a key point list; then, obtaining traffic commuting time data between every two key points in the key point list in different traffic modes through the same mode, and forming a commuting time matrix. Then, according to different positions of astarting point and different travelling policies, the reachable range formed by the traffic isochrones is drawn and rendered on a commercial map, and the traffic isochrones visual application based on different travel starting points, different travel times and different vehicles is formed, so that travelers are helped to make corresponding travel strategies for travel demands of multiple destinations or uncertain destinations.

Methods and computer program products for accommodating unforeseen events using an electronic calendar. Occurrences of unforeseen events pertinent to preexisting appointments are detected. Occurrences of unforeseen events may be detected by, for example, accepting input from the user conveyed by, for example, a keyboard, a mouse click, or a menu selection; or by accepting input from an automated information source that provides, for example, commute times or weather reports. The calendar responds automatically on behalf of the user to the detection of unforeseen events pertinent to preexisting appointments. Response may include sending notifications to other parties to appointments by way of, for example, electronic mail, instant messaging, or voice mail messaging; by canceling appointments; or by rescheduling appointments.

The present invention provides a house source recall method and device based on commuting to find a house. The method includes: obtaining a list of communities that meet commuting screening conditions; wherein, the commuting screening conditions include commuting destinations; The commuting time of the commuting destination is ring-segmented; the cells in the ring-shaped area after the ring-segmentation are clustered to obtain a clustering set corresponding to the ring-shaped area; House information, for the client to render the house information on the map. The house source recall method and device based on commuting to find a house provided by the present invention divide the communities that meet the commuting conditions in a ring according to the commuting time, and then obtain multiple cluster sets respectively, and recall the area where each cluster in the cluster set is located. The housing information is displayed in parallel, which is conducive to displaying the clustering results of housing resources that meet the requirements of different commuting times, and improves the accuracy of the display of housing resources for commuting.
