Patent
Method and apparatus for providing shortest elapsed time route and tracking information to users
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and apparatus for determining and communicating shortest elapsed time route information to users is presented, wherein information of desired origin and destination combinations is received from the users in a central processor or computer, instant rates of travel on multiple route segments interconnecting various possible origins and destinations being monitored and transferred to the central processor which then calculates the route segment or segment combination providing shortest elapsed-time routes for each origin-destination combination and transmitting that information to the respective user.
