Patent number: 10713941Abstract: A self-learning cycle timer is disclosed. A wait time is measured between a first indication, associated with a stop, and a second indication, associated with movement following the stop, each indication received from a smart device. A geolocation is received from the smart device and a traffic signal identified at the geolocation. The traffic signal's area of influence is determined. The wait time is determined to have occurred inside the area of influence. An average cycle time and a reference time associated with the traffic signal are retrieved from a database. A cycle time associated with the traffic signal is calculated according to the wait time and the reference time. The average cycle time is updated according to the calculated cycle time.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2019Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Diego P. R. Franco, Fernando A. Cavalcanti, Marcos C. Sylos
