Abstract: A multiobjective management system for saturated traffic road networks comprising: green wave coordination of locally adaptive traffic control units, traffic movement optimization and live traffic route guidance. Current traffic congestion measurements on intersections are generated from local traffic cameras and remote air-borne conventional cameras and thermal sensing imaging cameras or satellite radar such as SAR/ISAR using optical image brightness analysis. At the first stage of traffic optimization, individual local intersection green times are computed based on current traffic congestion level. At the second stage optimization, the central traffic server uses a multiobjective approach to coordinate the current locally-optimized green times of the first stage and create input constraints for green-way coordination of plurality of traffic lights.

Abstract: An individually tailored endovascular stent graft device and procedure is for performing a no-cut repair of different aneurysm types: ascending, descending, arch, abdominal and cerebral aneurysms. Many aneurysm types can thus be treated without the need for open heart surgery. The stent may be biomaterial based (collagen-based in the preferred embodiment). No shape-memory metals need be used therefore allowing better implantation flexibility and better patient recovery. The stent may be fixated in the designated treatment area by remotely activating individually capsulated bicomponent biological glue by UV light/ultrasound means, wherein each component of the glue is coated separately. Further presented is a method for calculating stent graft implantation path by determining the sequence of implantation points through computer simulation means, wherein the implantation is done by discrete pulses.

Abstract: The present invention includes systems and methods for detecting a speed limit violation based on the movement of a cell phone in a moving vehicle. The system and method determine whether a speeding violation has occurred based periodic cell phone location data, the time between a cell phone's presence at one location and the next, and the speed limit of the section of a section of road that the cell phone could be located on. Embodiments of systems and methods of the invention detect whether a moving vehicle may be part of a public transit system, in which case the corresponding cell phones are removed from consideration. The system and method also include generating a speeding ticket for a car determined to have violated a corresponding speed limit, keeping a record of a speeding violation, and sending a request to settle the ticket if it is not paid on time.

Abstract: A computer-based method and system accomplish automatic optimization of a preferred merchandising figure of merit like revenue, profit, etc. by concurrent optimization of prices and in-store promotion schedules for groups of interrelated products in a supermarket or in a chain of supermarkets. The basis of the system is a statistical model that combines effects of prices, promotion schedules and other factors that could influence demands, and produces a flexible nonparametric predictive demand function that can be optimized simultaneously in prices and promotion schedules. The system generates demand predictions for groups of interrelated products by applying data mining procedures to historical database that contains sales data along with various sales conditions, adjusting statistical predictive demand models, and then optimizing them in prices and promotion schedules.

Those records together with digital maps are fed into mathematical models and algorithms to construct lists of vehicles traveling on various road sections, traffic loads at particular road sections, real time travel times along all road sections resulting from traffic congestion in particular areas, turning loads for signal intersections, for ral time functioning of Intelligent Transportation System, in particular of Intelligent Traffic Control Systems, and Route Guidance Systems.

Abstract: A method for the system wide control of signals in a traffic network in real time to provide an overall reduction in congestion is described. In the method, signals obtained from vehicular-based cellular phones provide location information on moving vehicles and are input into an Intelligent Traffic Control System to provide position information that is stored in the form of records. Mathematical models use those records together with detailed digital maps and algorithms to compute actual travel times consumed by traveling along road sections, by queuing near signalized intersections, and by making various allowed turns and go-throughs in the vicinity of signalized intersection areas. The actual travel times measured for a fixed control time period are compared to the corresponding theoretical travel times and form a basis for a mathematical optimization model.

Abstract: A system and method for real time vehicle guidance by Central Traffic Unit are presented. The proposed vehicle Guidance System includes a plurality of vehicles equipped with Individual Mobile Units including GPS units (position determining systems adapted to determine their present position) and communicatively linked to the Central Traffic Unit computer server. The Central Traffic Unit broadcasts the updated traffic patterns in real time thereby enabling the Individual Mobile Units to dynamically calculate the desired optimal travel paths. In response to a request from a driver for a route update from his present position to a desired destination, the Individual Mobile Unit searches for an optimal (usually fastest) route and shows it to the driver. In route searching by the minimal time criterion, the Individual Mobile Unit relies on estimated travel times stored in its database, and may also use current real time information on bottleneck situations received from Central Traffic Unit.
