Michael Zweck has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Apparatus, system and method for merging and applying intersection data for a vehicle
    Patent number: 11776398
    Abstract: Technologies and techniques for merging/resolving MAP data and signal phase and timing (SPaT) messages for traffic light data prediction a vehicle in an intelligent transportation system. SPaT data and/or MAP data may be received in a vehicle from a direct source and a network source, and processed to merge data from the two different platforms. The merging of the data allows a vehicle to generate inferences relating to traffic light data received on direct, low-latency, connections, while taking advantage of the more comprehensive data provided from the network source.
    Type: Grant

  • Virtual induction loops for adaptive signalized intersections
    Patent number: 10388154
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for controlling traffic signals using virtual induction loops. The system allows bidirectional communication between a traffic signal controller and a vehicle so that the controller can send map data to the vehicle and the vehicle can send a recall message to the controller, requesting to be served by the controller at an approaching traffic signal.
