Patent number: 11941979Abstract: The present application discloses a traffic light control method for an urban road network based on expected return estimation, which uses C-V2X wireless communication technology to obtain real-time information of all vehicles and traffic state in the road network from vehicle-mounted terminals, and adaptively and dynamically controls the phase transformation of the traffic light. According to the present application, the expected returns of keeping the current phase and executing phase switch are calculated by estimating the timely driving distance and the future driving distance of the passable vehicles in the next green light duration in combination with the proposed road priority traffic index. By comparing the expected returns of keeping the current phase or switching to other phases, the best phase is selected, so as to make as many passable vehicles travel farther as possible in the next green light duration. Therefore, the efficiency of traffic will be improved.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2023Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: ZHEJIANG LABInventors: Qian Huang, Kan Wu, Yongdong Zhu, Zhifeng Zhao

Patent number: 11843528Abstract: One or more lower-tier system monitoring components are installed and operated prior to installing a higher-tier system monitoring component. A lower-tier system may be an individual server, network device, or local area network. A higher-tier system may include an enterprise or organization wide network or service that includes at least a part of the lower-tier system. Once the higher-tier system monitoring component is installed, the higher-tier and lower-tier system monitoring components use an interface to operate with one another to form a single larger instance of an organization wide monitoring system. The combination of the higher-tier system monitoring component and the one or more lower-tier system operating components performs monitoring aspects of the overall information technology environment based at least in part on machine data produced and made searchable to provide monitoring results.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2021Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Alan Vincent Hardin, Kan Wu, Arun Ramani, Nicholas Matthew Tankersley, Tristan Fletcher, Alok Bhide
