  • Pedestrian and vehicle route optimization
    Patent number: 11175153
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for a route optimization system. The route optimization system includes a sensor configured to detect a location of one or more pedestrians. The route optimization system includes a processor. The processor is coupled to the sensor and configured to obtain a start location and a destination location for a vehicle or a personal device. The processor is configured to determine pedestrian traffic flow between the start location and the destination location based on the location of the one or more pedestrians. The processor is configured to determine multiple routes between the start location and the destination location and determine an optimal route based on the pedestrian traffic flow. The processor is configured to provide the optimal route to a user.
