  • Patent number: 11138875
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling traffic signaling includes a wireless sensor operable to detect and receive wireless signals emitted from a vehicle, an image sensor operable to capture a stream of images of a field of view. A traffic control system is operable to extract geographic positioning information for the vehicle from the wireless signals, track the vehicle's movement using the extracted geographic positioning information, detect and track an object in the stream of images corresponding to the vehicle. The vehicle's geographic movement is further tracked using a pixel location of the object in steam of images and a traffic control action is executed based on the geographic movement to facilitate passage of the at least one vehicle through a monitored traffic control location.
