  • Localized traffic data collection
    Patent number: 11514778
    Abstract: A system and method for collecting, processing, storing, or transmitting traffic data. A localized data collection module may retrieve, receive, or intercept traffic data through or from hardware installed in a traffic control cabinet adjacent an intersection or other roadway feature of interest. Data which may have previously been confined to a closed loop traffic control system may be remotely accessible for traffic operations control or monitoring via a network connected server and/or cloud architecture.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 14, 2020
    Date of Patent: November 29, 2022
    Assignee: Teledyne FLIR Commercial Systems, Inc.
    Inventors: Daniel Benhammou, Tyler Birgen, Gary Christiansen

  • Infrastructure to vehicle communication protocol
    Patent number: 10593198
    Abstract: A system and method for securing and verifying transmitted traffic data. A transmitter may send a transmission via a radio signal including traffic data through or from hardware installed in a traffic control cabinet adjacent an intersection or other roadway feature of interest. The transmission may be signed with a private key. A receiver associated with a vehicle may receive, in addition to the transmission, a public key (e.g., via a data network) for use in verification of the authenticity of the transmission.

  • Methods and apparatus for monitoring traffic data
    Patent number: 10297147
    Abstract: A system and method for processing traffic data and locally generated data. A traffic signal monitoring device may be associated with a vehicle and configured to receive traffic data from traffic infrastructure devices. The traffic signal monitoring device may additionally or alternatively utilize local data (e.g., speed of the vehicle) to generate alerts to notify a driver of hazardous conditions or to suppress operations (e.g., notifications, menus) of a device to reduce distractions.
