Patent number: 11080995Abstract: A number of roadway sensing systems are described herein. An example of such is an apparatus to detect and/or track objects at a roadway with a plurality of sensors. The plurality of sensors can include a first sensor that is a radar sensor having a first field of view that is positionable at the roadway and a second sensor that is a machine vision sensor having a second field of view that is positionable at the roadway, where the first and second fields of view at least partially overlap in a common field of view over a portion of the roadway. The example system includes a controller configured to combine sensor data streams for at least a portion of the common field of view from the first and second sensors to detect and/or track the objects.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2018Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: Image Sensing Systems, Inc.Inventors: Chad Stelzig, Kiran Govindarajan, Cory Swingen, Roland Miezianko, Nico Bekooy
