Abstract
Embodiments relate to calculating a journey time for a planned journey between a chosen origin and a chosen destination over a network of roads in a region. A first journey time for the journey is estimated using a route scheduling algorithm and a second journey time for the journey is estimated using selected historical journeys characterized by journey origins and destinations. The historical journeys are selected based on their vicinity to the planned journey. An error in the second journey time is calculated based on the standard deviation in the selected historical journeys. The second journey time is selected as the estimated journey time from the planned journey if this error is below a defined threshold, otherwise the first journey time is selected as the estimated journey time for the planned journey.
