Revolutionary System for Monitoring & Controlling Traffic Signals

This patent is designed to create autonomous traffic signal controls that have the ability to identify vehicles of different sizes well before they approach an intersection. By tracking vehicles well before the intersection the system can make decisions that maximize flow through the intersection, instead of simply reacting after the fact, or relying on timers. By maximizing flow through an intersection we will save fuel, reduce carbon emissions, all while saving time and frustration. For more information visit Link A system and method for monitoring objects, such as vehicle traffic, and controlling a flow of the objects, such as vehicle traffic, through a flow point, such as an intersection having traffic control signals. At least one three-dimensional (3D) vector imaging sensor is operable for detecting an object and capturing node-based object with motion vector data relating to the object. A Sensor Processing Unit (SPU) is associated with the vector imaging sensor(s) and operable for processing the mode-based object with motion vector data, determining a tracked object from a plurality of the objects detected by the vector imaging sensor(s) and extracting the object data of the tracked object to an object database. A Central Tracking Unit (CTU) is associated with the SPU and operable for classifying the tracked object, generating object tracking data from the tracked object, predicting a future object state of the tracked object, and generating an object control output for controlling a control signal to thereby facilitate the flow of the objects through the flow point.

Financial information

The intelligent traffic signal industry is already a 10 billion dollar a year industry. This patent will lead the way to autonomous traffic signals, disrupting the current market. No longer do we need to sit at dumb traffic lights, waiting for the right-of-way, while no cross traffic is even within eyesight. We shouldn't have to stop at a traffic signal because someone tripped the wire loop in the road and has long since turned right on red. So we set out to design a system of long-distance detection (from a mile away, in every direction, including hills, valleys, and curves). A system that could identify differing vehicles and anticipate what decisions needed to be made in order to maximize flow through any given intersection in real-time. Imagine eliminating millions of tons of CO2 emissions, and helping national productivity at the same time. It's staggering how much time Americans waste sitting at dumb traffic lights. We have patented a system that piggybacks on existing infrastructure and anticipates the constantly changing needs of traffic flow and adjusts on the fly. A system that autonomously Anticipates how to maximize the flow of traffic through an intersection, instead of reacting after a car rolls over a loop of wire in the road, or into the field of view of a camera.
