Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a method for delivering a certificate to a vehicle comprising transmitting the certificate to the vehicle via near field coupling is provided. The near field coupling can be accomplished by transmitting data using a near field coupled antenna to a receiver. The near field coupled antenna can also be used for content delivery such as for example, a streaming video signal, a streaming webcast signal, non-streaming transfer of information, etc. The method can be used for location validation of land vehicles, marine vehicles, and pedestrians as well as content delivery, and payment mechanisms. In accordance with another embodiment a traffic control system is configured to control vehicles and pedestrians in an intelligent transportation system.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a method for processing information associated with vehicular traffic includes monitoring two signals that include information associated with vehicular traffic. A comparison signal is generated by comparing the two signals. The two signals may be wireless signals, or one of the two signals may be a hardwired signal.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a method for controlling traffic in response to information associated with vehicular traffic includes receiving a signal at an input of a data aggregator and transmitting the signal to a server. A control signal is generated in response to signal transmitted by the data aggregator. The control signal is used to control traffic.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a method for processing information associated with vehicular traffic includes generating an input signal that contains information associated with vehicular traffic and transmitting the information to a cloud-based server system. A control signal is generated in response to the information. In accordance with another embodiment, a traffic monitoring system has a data aggregator coupled to a malfunction management unit and to a traffic signal controller coupled to the data aggravator.

Abstract: A multilayer film includes a base film, a cavitated layer, and a sealing layer. Such films have been found to produce good ultrasonic seals in the cross-machine direction at high speeds.
