Telematics systems and methods are described for generating interactive animated guided user interfaces (GUIs). A telematics cloud platform is configured to receive vehicular telematics data from a telematics device onboard a vehicle. A GUI value compression component determines, based on the vehicular telematics data, a plurality of GUI position values and a plurality of corresponding GUI time values. A geospatial animation app receives the plurality of GUI position values and the plurality of corresponding GUI time values. The geospatial animation app implements an interactive animated GUI that renders a plurality of geospatial graphics or graphical routes on a geographic area map via a display device. The geospatial graphics or graphical routes are rendered to have different visual forms based on differences between respective GUI position values and corresponding GUI time values.

In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a method including: receiving, by a collaboration service, location data of a user, wherein the location data includes a timestamp; verifying, by the collaboration service and based on a digital itinerary associated with the user, a location of the user; processing data from a data profile associated with the user as input data to a machine learning model; receiving, by the collaboration service and as output of the machine learning model, a plurality of predicted travel objective classifications; determining, by the collaboration service, a plurality of travel objectives, wherein each of the plurality of travel objectives is associated with one of the plurality of predicted travel objective classifications; determining, by the collaboration service, a travel objective within a predefined proximity of the location of the user; and displaying the travel objective to the user via a planning interface.

The invention relates to a method for calculating an AR overlay of additional information for display on an AR display unit, in particular a head-up display of a vehicle or smart glasses. The AR overlay is used to display a navigation route on the AR display unit. The navigation route is recalculated from time to time by a navigation system. The method is characterized in that the AR overlay is calculated in such a way that the recalculated route is displayed at least at a certain first distance before a branch-off point, and the driver is given an operating option of switching back and forth between the overview of the recalculated route and the previously calculated route.

A route planning method includes: receiving a route planning request including information of a starting position and information of a destination position; planning a route from the starting position to the destination position based on conditions about a road including a physical isolation belt; sending a route planning result, the conditions about a road including a physical isolation belt are fused into the route planning.

Systems and methods are provided for generating a mapping application that displays an initial map with a zoom level that is based on a travel time associated with the location of the user. The mapping application receives a request to present a digital map from a client device. Based on the current geographic location of the client device, the mapping application estimates a distance in which a user of the client device can travel within a particular time period. The mapping application then selects a parameter for a viewport of the digital map based at least on the estimated distance. For example, the viewport parameter may be a zoom level. The mapping application then generates the digital map in accordance with the selected parameter, and displays the digital map via a user interface of the client device.

Generating a map associated with an environment may include collecting sensor data received from one or more vehicles and generating a set of links to align the sensor data. A mesh representation of the environment may be generated from the aligned sensor data. A system may determine a proposed link to add, a proposed link deletion, and/or a proposed link alteration, and receive a modification comprising instructions to add, delete, or modify a link. Responsive to receiving a modification, the system may re-align a window of sensor data associated with the modification. The modification and/or sensor data associated therewith may be collected as training data for a machine learning model, which may be trained to generate link modification proposals and/or determine sensor data that may be associated with a poor sensor data alignment.

The present invention provides a method for generating a virtual navigation route, by obtaining multiple navigation points each with a flag data; identifying at least two lanes from a front video data; creating a navigation characteristic image according to the flag data, the navigation points, the front video data, and the at least two lanes, wherein the navigation characteristic image has multiple dotted grids; calculating a probability of a navigation route passing through each dotted grid, and setting the dotted grid with the highest probability calculated in each row of the navigation characteristic image as a first default value; and fitting curves for the grids with the first default value as the navigation route; the navigation route is generated in real time and projected over the front video data using an augmented reality (AR) method, achieving AR effects and navigating with better representation of the traffic.

Systems and methods are provided for predicting a traversal time for a route. A request for navigation directions is received and a route between the origin and destination is calculated. A series of route segments to be traversed on the route are identified, as well as one or more sub-series of route segments of the series of route segments, with each sub-series having route segments to be traversed consecutively on a portion of the route. For each sub-series, a sub-series traversal time is predicted based on historical traversal time data associated with historical trips where each of the route segments of the sub-series were traversed consecutively. A total route traversal time is predicted based on the sub-series traversal time. A set of navigation directions and the predicted total route traversal time are provided for presentation on a client device for navigating from the origin to the destination via the route.

The preferred embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods and systems for dynamic route estimation and prediction using discrete sampled location updates from various mobile devices for the purpose of providing a graphical representation of a mobile device's route along a known network path of map data. The embodiments also provide supplemental route metrics, such as traveled distance, elapsed time, etc., and the capability to assign destination points for the purpose of providing the ability to modify location update points in an application, such as a route planner, and/or to store the dynamically generated route based on various preferences for later retrieval.

A navigation system includes a server apparatus connected to vehicles via a network and a navigation apparatus connected to the server apparatus via the network. The server apparatus receives, from a first vehicle, traffic-related information related to snow on a road on which the first vehicle has traveled or slipperiness of the road, and location information of the road; generates difficulty information for the road related to a travel difficulty caused by the snow or the slipperiness; and transmits the difficulty information and the location information to the navigation apparatus movable together with a second vehicle identical to or different from the first vehicle. The navigation apparatus receives the difficulty information and the location information; sets a traffic regulation for passage of the second vehicle through the road; and sets, for the second vehicle, a travel route based on the traffic regulation.
