Abstract

When planning a trip, we wish to receive a precise itinerary, taking into account various factors such as traffic, distance, types of roads. However, we often have to deal with unreliable and inaccurate information. Evaluating the reliability of a route is a crucial aspect to improve the quality of navigation services and guarantee the user an experience that is not only effective but also efficient in terms of cost and travel time. The problem was approached with an innovative solution, which uses fuzzy logic and dispersion indices to measure variations in the traffic situation at different times of the day and on different days of the week, with tests carried out on real routes collected by the Google Maps platform API.
