System and method for estimating driving time using road traffic condition information

摘要

The method involves checking whether a link is in a real time traffic information collection section for each link of a search path between a present location and a destination. Passing time is found for each link based on the traffic information by a car navigation system (120). An additional elapsed time estimated when a waiting time is applied to each link is added with the passing time to obtain a total elapsed drive time. An independent claim is also included for a system for estimating an elapsed drive time using road traffic condition information.
