  • Patent number: 11741832
    Abstract: A method for determining space allocation and signal timing of an isolated signalized intersection consists of at least one remote server and a processing module that is communicably coupled with the at least one remote server. A plurality of traffic-related data, wherein the plurality of traffic-related data reflects activity at the isolated signalized intersection, is received through the processing module. A space determination process is performed on the plurality of traffic-related data through the processing module. Next, a timing determination process is performed on the plurality of traffic-related data through the processing module in order to minimize the average intersection delay at the isolated signalized intersection. Based upon the results from the space determination process and the timing determination process a cycle length is determined for the isolated signalized intersection.

  • Patent number: 11443623
    Abstract: A crash severity prediction tool for use with a vehicle. The vehicle is equipped with a native crash severity prediction application and includes a user interface configured to receive a user destination, a GPS unit configured to generate location coordinates of the vehicle and a display configured to show a road map depicting roadways between a user start location and the user destination. The native crash severity computer application is communicably connected to a cloud based crash severity prediction computer application configured to receive the location coordinates and the road map. The cloud based application includes a trained artificial neural network (ANN) configured to predict a crash severity level based on real time weather conditions, light conditions, road surface conditions, and day of the week. A crash severity index is transmitted to the native crash severity prediction application and is rendered on a vehicle display.
