Patent number: 11514778Abstract: A system and method for collecting, processing, storing, or transmitting traffic data. A localized data collection module may retrieve, receive, or intercept traffic data through or from hardware installed in a traffic control cabinet adjacent an intersection or other roadway feature of interest. Data which may have previously been confined to a closed loop traffic control system may be remotely accessible for traffic operations control or monitoring via a network connected server and/or cloud architecture.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2020Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Teledyne FLIR Commercial Systems, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Benhammou, Tyler Birgen, Gary Christiansen

Patent number: 11138875Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling traffic signaling includes a wireless sensor operable to detect and receive wireless signals emitted from a vehicle, an image sensor operable to capture a stream of images of a field of view. A traffic control system is operable to extract geographic positioning information for the vehicle from the wireless signals, track the vehicle's movement using the extracted geographic positioning information, detect and track an object in the stream of images corresponding to the vehicle. The vehicle's geographic movement is further tracked using a pixel location of the object in steam of images and a traffic control action is executed based on the geographic movement to facilitate passage of the at least one vehicle through a monitored traffic control location.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2020Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: FLIR SYSTEMS TRADING BELGIUM BVBAInventors: Michael Deruytter, Daniel Benhammou

Patent number: 10679494Abstract: A traffic monitoring system (400) includes a network of geographically distributed sensors (401-403). The sensors (401-403) provide raw or preprocessed data to a processing system (405) based on received long range wireless signals (e.g., 2.4 GHz, 5.8 GHz, or 5.9 GHz spectrum). The processing system (405) can then implement any of various algorithms to calculate traffic parameters taking into account the range of communication between the source and the sensor. The inputs to these algorithms include a first contacts, last contacts, maximum range, minimum range, median of contacts, average of contacts, maximum strength, and combinations thereof.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2018Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: FLIR Commercial Systems, Inc.Inventor: Daniel Benhammou

Patent number: 10593198Abstract: A system and method for securing and verifying transmitted traffic data. A transmitter may send a transmission via a radio signal including traffic data through or from hardware installed in a traffic control cabinet adjacent an intersection or other roadway feature of interest. The transmission may be signed with a private key. A receiver associated with a vehicle may receive, in addition to the transmission, a public key (e.g., via a data network) for use in verification of the authenticity of the transmission.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2017Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: FLIR COMMERCIAL SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Daniel Benhammou, Tyler Birgen

Patent number: 10297147Abstract: A system and method for processing traffic data and locally generated data. A traffic signal monitoring device may be associated with a vehicle and configured to receive traffic data from traffic infrastructure devices. The traffic signal monitoring device may additionally or alternatively utilize local data (e.g., speed of the vehicle) to generate alerts to notify a driver of hazardous conditions or to suppress operations (e.g., notifications, menus) of a device to reduce distractions.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2017Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: FLIR Commercial Systems, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Benhammou, Tyler Birgen, Josh Houska, Ryan VanRooyen
