  • Publication number: 20240078902
    Abstract: An system, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium for managing traffic at a worksite. The system includes a traffic control signal, a wireless interface, a mast, a support base, a wireless control device, and a base station for communicating between the wireless interface and the wireless control device. The method involves receiving input from the wireless control device, generating a control signal got the traffic control signals. The non-transitory computer readable medium is encoded with codes for directing a processor to carry out the method.

  • Patent number: 7283904
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for establishing a mobile network in which each mobile unit, such as a car, becomes a node able to receive and transmit a wide variety of information, including for example, traffic conditions, vehicle mechanical/electrical status, interactive game playing information, streaming audio and video, email, and voice mail. In one aspect, multi-sensor fusion technology is used to determine the best value of a monitored variable, for example, the real time locations of each mobile unit, that may be communicated to others via the network. In addition, a new method of traffic control using real time traffic positioning and density data is disclosed. Further, methods and systems for enhancing driver safety are disclosed. In another aspect, the system may use a unique secure dynamic link allocation system to improve the information transfer from one node (mobile unit) to another and to other networks, such as the Internet.

  • Publication number: 20030073406
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for establishing a mobile network in which each mobile unit, such as a car, truck or other vehicle equipped with the multi-sensors, processor and receiver/transmitter of the invention, becomes a node able to receive and transmit a wide variety of information, including for example, information about traffic conditions, vehicle mechanical/electrical status, interactive game playing information, streaming audio and video, email, and voice mail. In one aspect, the invention uses multi-sensor fusion technology to determine the best value of a monitored variable, for example, the real time locations of each mobile unit, that is then optionally communicated to others via the network. The system of the invention also provides a new method of traffic control using real time traffic positioning and density data. The invention also provides methods and systems for enhancing driver safety.
