Patent number: 10802452Abstract: An occupancy-based traffic control system for augmenting traffic control mechanisms corresponding to buildings of one or more building types within a geographic subsector is provided. The system includes, a subsector aggregator, an other facility occupancy estimator, and a subsector processor. The subsector aggregator receives energy consumption and outside temperature streams corresponding to a portion of the buildings, and employs occupancy components to generate average occupancy components corresponding to each building type. The other facility occupancy estimator matches the average occupancy components to remaining ones of the buildings not in the first portion according to building type. The subsector processor uses the first and second aggregated occupancy components modify defaults of traffic control devices based on the occupancy estimate to optimize flow of pedestrians.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2019Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: Enel X North America, Inc.Inventors: Husain Al-Mohssen, Angela S.
