  • Patent number: 11955003
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, in which a commuter demand control system (CDCS) can obtain commuter profiles, and each profile can identify a commuter, an origin, a destination and commute preferences. The CDCS can determine from the commuter profiles batches of commuter profiles. The CDCS can determine, for a batch of commuter profiles, commute profiles, and each commute profile can correspond to a commuter profile in the batch of commuter profiles. The CDCS can provide the commute profiles. In addition, a traffic control system can obtain a commute profile for at least one commuter, and the commute profile can identify a commuter and an authorized time range. In response to determining that the commuter is authorized to traverse the traffic control device at the time point, the traffic control system can actuate the traffic control device.
