Abstract
A server identifies areas of traffic congestion and generates traffic objects associated with the identified areas of traffic congestion. The server receives, from a mobile device, a request for traffic objects, where the request includes a current geographic location of the mobile device and a destination geographic location to which the mobile device plans to travel. The server determines a length of travel based on the current geographic location and the destination geographic location, identifies a particular traffic object based on the length of travel, the current geographic location, and the destination geographic location, and provides information regarding the particular traffic object to the mobile device to permit the mobile device to generate navigational directions based on the particular traffic object.
