Abstract: Various embodiments are described herein for systems and methods of traffic management in a road network including pathways and at least one intersection. In at least one embodiment, the method comprises receiving data signals from corresponding one or more connected vehicles and generating an intersection model for each approach of each intersection at a first time, where the intersection model comprises estimated arrival times for incoming vehicles at each approach. The method further comprises generating at the first time, for each intersection, candidate traffic timing data signals based at least on the intersection model corresponding to all approaches at the intersection, and generating, at the first time, for each intersection, an optimized traffic timing data signal, which is configured to control the operation of one or more traffic signals at the intersection, and is generated based on the candidate traffic timing data signals and a predetermined optimization variable.

Abstract: Various embodiments are described herein for methods, devices and systems that can be used to determine an occupancy count for a vehicle. In at least one embodiment, the method includes receiving a plurality of data signals from a corresponding one or more occupancy data sources, storing a plurality of occupancy data source records corresponding to each received data signal analyzing the plurality of occupancy data signals to identify a state of each occupancy data source for a duration of time marked by a starting time and a stopping time of the vehicle, processing the plurality of occupancy data signals based on the identified state of the corresponding occupancy data source; generating an estimated occupancy count; providing a signal corresponding to the estimate occupancy count to a display system for verification by at least one occupant of the vehicle and receiving a verification input from the at least one occupant.

Abstract: Various embodiments are described herein for methods, devices and systems that can be used to determine an occupancy count for a vehicle, the occupancy count corresponding to a number of occupants in a vehicle. In at least one embodiment, the method includes receiving a plurality of data signals from a corresponding one or more occupancy data sources, storing a plurality of occupancy data source records, where each occupancy data source record corresponds to each data signal received at the processor, analyze the plurality of occupancy data signals to identify an input state of each of the one or more occupancy data sources for a duration of time, the duration of time being marked by a starting time and a stopping time of the vehicle, process the plurality of occupancy data signals based on the identified input state of the corresponding occupancy data source and generate the occupancy count corresponding to the vehicle based on the processing of the plurality of occupancy data signals.

Abstract: A lens for preventing the build-up of snow and ice on LED traffic lights. The lens is hollow and fits over the LED signal beacon of the traffic light. The lens has a sidewall defined by a right circular conical frustum between a circular base and a plane spaced apart from the base and oriented at an oblique angle to the base. A convex face portion of the lens extends from the sidewall and closes the hollow space within the lens.

Abstract: A traffic signal hanger is disclosured in which an elastomeric member is provided intermediate a traffic signal support arm and a traffic signal housing which elastomeric member provides advantagous damped pivoting of the signal housing relative to the support to accommodate wind forces.
