Drive+ Traffic Routing

Hi,
I've been using Android phones with Google Maps for several years and recently switched to WP8.1 with Here Drive+ for navigation. I'm in the USA, New York City metro area, and find the route selection based on traffic not good. From what I see on the map, the actual traffic (yellow/red lines) does seem to be accurate as far as I can tell, but the routing seems to ignore it. I find I can't rely on it to give me the best route to get to my destination based on current traffic conditions. I also find the ETA to be incorrect by 15-30 minutes where Google Maps was much closer to actual time.
As an example, yesterday, I had two route choices, one was more miles with no traffic and a second was less miles with heavy traffic. There are smart signs on the road showing the drive time to the George Washington Bridge from a point. One route was a 15 minute drive the other was a 54 minute drive. Radio news traffic confirmed what the signs said. 
I could see on Drive+ that the green, yellow, red lines seemed to match the conditions on the road sign and where I could see traffic flow. Drive+ selected the heavy traffic route, I seleted the light traffic route. Drive+ kept trying to re-route me on the heavy traffic road via u-turns and connecting roads. It showed my time to my destination as 4:11PM. As I continued on my route, it finally showed me on this route and changed the ETA to 3:50PM. It should have routed me using a shorter drive time from the start.
The app needs to better handle traffic conditions for route selection as this seems to be typical.

Thanks. The thread you linked was based on a re-route for a current trip. For me, even the initial route is selected had a longer ETA. It should have based the initial trip on traffic.
I think what might be happening is it selects the trip based on distance, then adds traffic rather than using traffic to compute the route.
Re-routing a current trip is something that Google only recently added as well.

  • Slow TCP performance for traffic routed by ACE module

    Hi,
    the customer uses two ACE20 modules in active-standby mode. The ACE load-balances servers correctly. But there is a problem with communication between servers in the different ACE contexts. When the customer uses FTP from one server in one context to the other server in other context the throughput through ACE is about 23 Mbps. It is routed traffic in ACE:-(  See:

    Do you know how can I increase performance for TCP traffic which is not load-balanced, but routed by ACE? Thank you very much.
    Roman

    Default inactivity timeouts used by ACE are
    icmp 2sec
    tcp 3600sec
    udp 120sec
    With your config you will change inactivity for every protocol to 7500sec.If you want to change TCP timeout to 7500sec and keep the
    other inactivity timeouts as they are now use following
    parameter-map type connection GLOBAL-TCP
    set timeout inactivity 600
    parameter-map type connection GLOBAL-UDP
    set timeout inactivity 120
    parameter-map type connection GLOBAL-ICMP
    set timeout inactivity 2
    class-map match-all ALL-TCP
    match port tcp any
    class-map match-all ALL-UDP
    match port tcp any
    class-map match-all ALL-ICMP
    match port tcp any
    policy-map multi-match TIMEOUTS
    class ALL-TCP
    connection advanced GLOBAL-TCP
    class ALL-UDP
    connection advanced GLOBAL-UDP
    class ALL-TCP
    connection advanced GLOBAL-ICMP

  • Unknown network traffic / router traffic monitoring

    So I got a new PC with windows 7 on it, and I installed this gadget that monitors network traffic, and it shows a lot of traffic that my local PC isn't showing, so I am thinking there is something running on the LAN that I can't see. I was looking to find a live, better program to monitor the actiontec router, for traffic. anyone know of anything that can maybe show me who is using all the bandwidth on my network?
    i have found software for Linksys, but nothing for the Actiontec.
    Thanks,
    Quasimodem

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Keep in mind that when looking at Wireshark (sniffer) software there are different types of traffic:
    Unicast
    Broadcast
    Multicast
    Unicast is traffic between two devices.  You will see the traffic between the PC with wireshark and another device on your local network such as a printer, another PC or the Router.  You should not see traffic between another PC and the Internet for example.  Using a phone as an example some calls you and the conversation is between you and the person on the other end of the phone.  This is unicast traffic.  Using defaults of the actiontec, IP address seen will be 192.168.1.1 for the router and 192.168.1.2-99 for devices on your network.  If you have the TV service, 192.168.1.100-1xx is used for the cable boxes.
    Broadcast traffic is traffic sent to all devices.  Its not directed toward a particular PC but rather usually looking for information.  In a sniffer trace you will see broadcast traffic. Going back to the phone example, someone makes an announcement on an overhead intercom system that is broadcast traffic.  Broadcast traffic will be seen as 192.168.255.255
    Multicast traffic is traffic from one device for many devices.  Usually used in video feeds.   Using the phone system as an example someone wishes to tell a group of people something so instead of calling each person up and telling them each person who wants the information joins a conference bridge.  Anyone is allowed to listen but only those that wish to get the information receive it.  Generally how multicast works.  Multicast traffic will be seen as IP address 224.x.x.x or something of the sorts where the address will be 2xx.x.x.x.  
    I hope this makes sense.  Probably more information than you needed but at least it will help you understand what wireshark is telling you.

  • Problem connecting with USB Hard drive on Router since upgrade to Lion

    Over the past year we have been slowly getting set up to have a hard drive with our photos networked so we can access from all home computers. We have a CineRAID hard drive storage tower w/one 2TB Seagate HD (allows for 4 hard drives). We have collected pictures from all computers onto the hard drive. Up until recently, we have had the system connected directly to one computer to allow transfer of files more easily. When I recently attached it back to the Netgear WNDR3700v2 router, I can see the drive (called ReadyShare, instead of the drive name "Photos & Videos") in the Finder, but I cannot access the drive; says "Connection Failed" and clicking brings up the box to connect as if to another computer.
    I had set this up when we first got the hard drive in January and everything worked fine, i.e., I could see and access the pictures that had been transferred to the drive, without having to logon to the hard drive. The only thing that I know has changed is migrating my computer from Snow Leopard to Lion. Is there some new protocol for accessing this type system, or have I inadvertently switched/changed something else, that I no longer remember?

  • WD Onebook 2 TB external hard drive EA6500 router problems

    Had a Western Digital 2 TB external HD loaded with music and photos. Wanted to put it on the EA6500 for wireless access. Connected the USB to the Router and attempted to connect. Would get the message no USB device found.
    Gave up after several attempts. Plugged the USB back into the laptop (HP Envy Dv6 w/ Windows 8) and had nothing but crash and burn messages. Look like all the files had been wiped. 
    Stumped and bummed for sure.

    You might have formatted the drive when it is connected through the router. Check though on the computer if there's a back up file created first.

    Hi,
    According to your description, I check this setting in my system, it shows "Modifying this setting may affect compatibility with clients, services, and applications". I think your problem most probably caused by driver compatibility problem, it would be
    better to check USB router driver edition, also check its official site if there dirver compatible with Windows 8.1.

  • EA6500 - External HFS+ formatted Drive causes Router to become unstable

    Hi All,
    I am running the most recent firmware 1.1.28 released on Jan 2nd(ish) 2013 and if I try and access or configure my external Segate Freeagent 1.5 GB it essentially crashes my router whereby I cannot reach the internet nor the Admin console. I have to power cycle to be able to connect.
    Does anyone have any fix suggestions?
    Thanks!

    The hard drive should work fine because it is on the list of tested HDD for this router. It is too early to say the router is defective. What you can try is to backup the drive and do the reformat procedure again. There is a possibility that the reformat procedure was not properly done the first time. Use the same HFS+ format. If that would not help solve the issue, try formatting the drive to NTFS and see the difference. If nothing would work, you might need to reformat the drive that way you had it when it was working.

  • How to start a loop back proxy in Windows Phone 8 and have all app and internet traffic routed via it

    I want to develop a proxy in windows phone 8 that will handle all data traffic emanating from phone(i.e. browser and Apps). The following procedures were carried out
    a) Edited the Wifi settings http proxy and port to the loop back proxy running in the phone(i.e. 127.0.0.1) and the port in which we brought up the loop back proxy
    b) We browsed pages and no request landed on the loop back proxy in the phone
    Loop back proxy in phone is built using StreamSocketListener 
    Another observation is that:
    If we edit Wifi settings http proxy and port to a http/https proxy running on server then when we browse pages from windows phone we are getting the requests to server. Why is this difference?
    Is there a limitation to run http/https proxy on mobile phone as loop back proxy.
    But there are apps in the market for windows phone that behaves as HTTP proxy like 
    http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/smartproxy/75da629b-c0f3-4999-86a3-9559181d1299
    Any help on the same would be appreciated

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply and we have used StreamSocketListener waiting on a port and ip is given as loopback.The same settings are done for Wifi access point but when we browse any page in IE the requests are not landing on to the loop back proxy.Any idea on
    the same would be highly appreciated

  • WLAN internet traffic routing

    Hi,
    I have a 5508 controller.
    The controller is located at the HQ while we have couple of small remote offices that will have AP's connected to the controller.
    I would like the wireless users at the remote offices to connect to the AP and send internet traffic out directly from the AP instead of all that data going back and forth between the office and HQ.
    I just want management traffic between the AP and the controller. I am sure I would need a autonomous AP instead of a lightweight but what settings do i set on the autonomous to acheive this type of setup?
    Thanks in advance

    you can do this with a lightweight AP if you use the Flexmode or H-REAP mode. basically this mode turns the access point
    into a lightweight managed autonomous AP. The caveat is that when an AP is in H-REAP mode some authentication methods aren't supported if it loses connection to the controller. Depending on the firmware version on your controller you need to maintain a 150ms round-trip time.
    In H-reap mode you need to specify native VLAN for the AP, and then the VLAN for each of the H-REAP/locally switched SSID's
    and you will need to configure the SSID's for local-switching.
    See the guides below for reference and configuration assistance.

  • Traffic re-routing problem on M25

    Hi,
    I have a N8 on Anna, when I use the traffic option in drive it routes me around the M25 junction 18 as it seems to think the motorway is blocked. The map has a black line on it and the no-entry icon. The motorway is not blocked, If I drive on the route is re-calculated and I find no blockage.
    It has been like this for a few days now, I connected to my PC and found 3.08 release and updated my maps, but the problem still exists.
    Help!
    Thanks
    Stephen

    If by "re-route" you mean an HTTP redirect is occurring, then that would most likely be either your script or a mod_rewrite rule doing that. You should look at the transactions and your logs carefully.

  • Ip in the same subnet gets routed Why?

    Hi
    In windows 2008 server R2, it is connecting to production network through the teamed network adapter.Ip of the teamed adapter is 10.157.86.31 255.255.255.0 and its gateway is 10.157.86.1
    And the server is getting backed up with the backup interface configured with 10.128.141.64 255.255.248.0 in one of the nic in the server connected to the NAS Drive with the ip address 10.128.141.28 .The backup was happening perfectly as the backup is a non-routed
    network.
    Once the motherboard of the server is changed, suddenly the backup stopped worked failing in authentication to the NAS drive because in NAS Drive authentication is setup based on the ip addresses of the servers connected to the NAS Drive.
    What I have found is that even though the server's backup ip address is not changed , still the NAS drive ip 10.128.141.28 is reached via another network gateway 10.157.86.31 even though the NAS DRive is connected in the same subnet.
    Since the NAS DRive is reached by the server through the ip address of the gateway 10.157.86.31, the authentication fails with the NAS drive because it expects the ip address to be as 10.128.141.64
    how to force the traffic to the ip 10.128.141.28 to initiate through the nic 10.128.141.64 ?
    Any suggestions please
    Below is the answer for the problem ; already implemented and backup is working
    But needed the clarification
    Below is the solution too:
    In spite of rebuild of the server from scratch by freshly installing the operating system , the backup vlan is not connected.So I decided to connect the cable coming from the switch port to the unused nic port of the server and it solved the issue by reconfiguring
    the ip address to the new nic port.
    But needed one clarification here:
    Before swapping the cable to spare nic the picture is below
    Highlighted above is the nic connected to the backup vlan through which no communication happens.
    So decided to swap the cable from lan1 (backup) which is a separate nic to the spare nic available in the server which is higlighted below
    After configuring the backup ip address to the new spare nic also resulted in the traffic routed the production vlan which should not be the case.And moreover my observation from the above screeshot , why swapping the cable from the lan1(non-teamed adapter)
    is showing that lan4 (teamed adapter)as disconnected .
    And moreover , currently the setup is working as below with the backup traffic happening through the backup vlan when it is configured in the above manner
    Thanks & Regards S.Swaminathan Live & let others live!!!

    Also, prior to setting up the teams, make sure that the NIC is set to obtain IP automatically and not have a static entry on it. I've seen this cause problems in the past.
    If you have any unused NICs, such as Local Area Connection 2, don't just unplug them. You must disable them, otherwise they will try to register the APIPA in DNS and that will cause problems.
    Make sure that the correct DNS are on the interfaces that you need to use, too.
