  • Patent number: 10782138
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are described herein for determining pedestrian behavior profiles for road segments of a road network, from those pedestrian behavior profiles, determining the likelihood that an adverse pedestrian event will occur, and determining the action to be taken in response. Example embodiments may provide a mapping system including: a memory having map data; and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry may be configured to: receive data points associated with pedestrian movement; associate pedestrian movement with a road segment; determine, based on the data points, a pedestrian behavior profile for the road segment; and in response to the pedestrian behavior profile for the road segment indicating a likelihood for an adverse pedestrian event that satisfies a predetermined likelihood, cause at least one action in response thereto.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9160817
    Abstract: A page server and method of using the page server is described. The page server stores versioned pages. The pages, which are equally sized data chunks, can be stored with identifiers and version data in a relational database, in separate files, or in a single file where pages are concatenated. The page server may be accessed via SQL, a web interface, a proprietary key/value/version interface on top of TCP/IP, or other method. The page server facilitates incremental updates.
