Solution Approach 1:

The estimation system is divided into multiple independent modules: a driving pattern recognition module that processes historical data, a real-time information acquisition module that gathers traffic and environmental data, and an integrated estimation module that combines both. This segmentation allows the system to maintain high accuracy through comprehensive data processing while managing complexity through modular architecture.
