Abstract: A system and method for presenting location-based augmented reality road signs on or within a vehicle includes a database, a plurality of transmitters, and a plurality of vehicle integrated receivers. The database is held in a computer network accessible location and stores a plurality of datasets. The plurality of transmitters are connected to the database through the computer network and broadcast area-relevant datasets from the database wirelessly in a defined geographic coverage area. The plurality of vehicle integrated receivers are operative to receive area-relevant datasets and use the information therein to determine when a particular road sign is required and then generate a standardized road sign image for the required road sign and display the image on or in the vehicle as an augmented reality projection.

Abstract: A system and method for detecting individuals in a target geographic location, such as a disastrous site, that identifies and locates potential victims using signals from the victims' cell phone utilizes an unmanned aerial vehicle controlled equipped with a retractable antenna component and a core network connection component. The retractable antenna component includes a mobile telephony base station and employs a smart antenna system so as to estimate the direction of arrival of all incoming signals. The core network connection component is operative to establish a wireless communication link with an Internet Protocol based core network of. When a victim's cell phones attempts to connect to the base station in order to access the core network, the location of the cell phone can be determined. The locations can be plotted on a map and based on the distribution of phones on the map, rescue efforts can be optimized.
