  • Patent number: 11391588
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for an event navigation system. The event navigation system includes a sensor configured to monitor traffic flow within a first structure. The event navigation system includes a memory configured to store a map of the first structure. The event navigation system includes a processor coupled to the sensor and the memory. The processor is configured to obtain a current location of a user and a destination location for the user. The processor is configured to determine a route from the current location to the destination location based on the map of the first structure, the current location, the destination location and the traffic flow within the first structure. The processor is configured to provide the route to the user.

  • Patent number: 11175153
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for a route optimization system. The route optimization system includes a sensor configured to detect a location of one or more pedestrians. The route optimization system includes a processor. The processor is coupled to the sensor and configured to obtain a start location and a destination location for a vehicle or a personal device. The processor is configured to determine pedestrian traffic flow between the start location and the destination location based on the location of the one or more pedestrians. The processor is configured to determine multiple routes between the start location and the destination location and determine an optimal route based on the pedestrian traffic flow. The processor is configured to provide the optimal route to a user.

  • Patent number: 11032175
    Abstract: A method for isolating packet loss on a hierarchical packet network, the method including: connecting a first network element (NE) to a second NE via a varying path traversing multiple network segments; discovering, with the first NE, a set of segment-demarcation expect-to-echo nodes along the varying path; ascertaining, with the first NE, a request-to-echo configuration for each node in the set; emitting a sample size of requests-to-echo in a respective request-to-echo configuration for each node in the set at a sample rate; receiving results of the sample size of requests-to-echo to generate a packet-loss sample; and calculating a rate-of-loss for the packet-loss sample.
