  • Patent number: 11627060
    Abstract: A method (and system, apparatus, and computer product) for reporting traffic data includes, in an onboard unit installed in a vehicle, generating a traffic data report packet including information identifying a location of the vehicle in a traffic network and storing the generated traffic data report packet in a transmission queue. The onboard unit stores and maintains the generated traffic data report packet in the transmission queue with other traffic data report packets in a sequence in accordance with potential transmission times associated with each traffic data report packet. At least a portion of the traffic data report packets stored in the transmission queue is selectively transmitted, as a batch transmission to a traffic center server via a communication link.

  • Publication number: 20220329595
    Abstract: Method and system for secure valuation and access of data streams includes encrypting access to a data stream, storing the encrypted data stream on a secure platform, determining an estimated value of the data stream based on a prediction function, determining an accuracy of the estimated value, storing the estimated value and the accuracy of the estimated value with the data stream on the secure platform and controlling access on the secure platform to the data stream. Encrypting access to the data stream may be done on a blockchain. Access on the secure platform may be controlled by a token system and a value and number of tokens for accessing the data stream is determined based on the accuracy of the estimated value. Data streams may be bundled based on the value and number of tokens for accessing the plurality of data streams determined based on the accuracy of the estimated values.

  • Patent number: 11120053
    Abstract: A computer system includes one or more processors; and one or more non-transitory memories including computer program code, the one or more memories and the computer program code being configured to, with the one or more processors, cause the computer system to perform operations comprising: providing a first set of data records and a second set of data records in which each data record potentially relates to information associated with at least one transitional object; identifying a set of labelings in which at least one label refers to at least one data record; assigning a likelihood score that an identified label corresponds to a data record that is referred to; determining an identity of the at least one transitional object based on the assigned likelihood score; and outputting the determined identity.

  • Patent number: 9843500
    Abstract: A system (and method) includes at least one traffic server to receive traffic information reports transmitted from vehicles located on a traffic network serviced by the at least one traffic server. The traffic network is segmented into a plurality of predefined links, each predefined link associated with a priority level, a reporting latency, and an identification code. An onboard unit in a vehicle transmits traffic information reports to the at least one traffic server. The onboard unit is configured: to determine a current location of the vehicle; based on the current location, to determine on which of a link of the predefined links in the traffic network the vehicle is currently located; to determine a link identification code that corresponds to the link on which the vehicle is currently located; and to generate a traffic data packet to be potentially transmitted by the onboard unit to the at least one traffic server.
