Abstract
A computer-implemented method and system for providing unidirectional traffic flow distributions. The method includes generating a directed graph representing a position of a vehicle and a road network within a predetermined distance of the position of the vehicle, wherein vertices represent decision points along an edge and edges represent route segments between adjacent vertices, determining a plurality of travel routes within the directed graph by estimating a shortest path and at least one index for each edge in the directed graph, wherein each travel route includes one or more edges, selecting a travel route from the plurality of travel routes, and outputting unidirectional traffic information for edges included along the travel route.
