A method of determining a user-centric traffic estimation error parameter associated with an estimated road traffic condition that is electronically provided to a user of a device. the method comprises: at a first moment in time, acquiring an estimated travel time for a road segment, the estimated travel time having been computed for the first moment in time; responsive to the device approaching the road segment, displaying an application-generated estimated travel time for the road segment, the application-generated estimated travel time being based on a most recently acquired estimated travel time from the server; responsive to the device departing from the road segment, determining an actual travel time for the road segment; computing the user-centric traffic estimation error parameter based on the application-generated estimated travel time and the actual travel time; and transmitting the user-centric traffic estimation error parameter to the server for adjusting a traffic prediction algorithm.
