Abstract: The present apparatus and method is for automatic vision enhancement in a traffic complex. The apparatus and method employs radar and sensor-based systems such as infrared imaging, ultrasound imaging, active radar and passive far infrared systems. The apparatus and method further employs laser radar and passive millimeter-wave systems, charged-coupled-device cameras, GPS systems, and satellite communication systems.

Abstract: The present apparatus and method for vehicle counting, tracking and tagging can determine if dynamic traffic assignment will be executed, with automatic, predetermined rerouting instructions, based on real or predicted traffic conditions, as measured by automatic vehicle counts. Further, with the present apparatus and method, information and advisories on real and predicted traffic conditions are dynamically updated and measured by the number of vehicles in operation on selected and alternative routes. Such is provided in part by electronic tags. When equipped with electronic tags, each vehicle has an address whereby infrastructure sensors and processors can differentiate between vehicles and count, track, warn, control, predict, and communicate with each vehicle. Electronic tags include identification information.

Abstract: An emergency flashing light mechanism includes one or more emergency flashing lights, a processor, a transmitter, and a receiver. The emergency light flashing mechanisms can exchange information with the vehicles, pedestrians and other components of a traffic complex via their respective transmitters and receivers. The emergency flashing light mechanisms can process such information and override control lights having red, yellow and green lights. The emergency flashing lights can selectively respond to emergency vehicles.

Abstract: A portable safety mechanism housed in a cane, a walking stick or a belt-carried housing. In each of such embodiments, the portable safety mechanism includes a processor, a transmitter, a receiver, and an outside image sensor or scanner, a warning device such as an audible warning device or warning light. The scanner may, for example, sense the shape of a traffic signal or the color of a traffic signal. The portable safety mechanism may further be housed in a wheelchair or walker. The portable safety mechanism may employ computer telephony technology.

Abstract: A reading pen (or input and output hand held device) that includes both digital and mechanical features. Digital features include a scanner for scanning printed information, including “selecting” information, pictures, etc., for color and/or patterns, a microphone for receiving dictated information, a digitizer for digitizing the scanned and dictated information, a computer processor, a storage, a visual display (or visual output), a printer, and a speaker (or audible output). Mechanical features include a lens for magnifying the printed information being scanned and a marking or coloring instrument such as a highlighter for marking the printed information being scanned. One simple electrical feature is a light for illuminating the printed information being scanned.
