  • Patent number: 11049391
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods applying an innovative non-discriminating and anonymous car related navigation driven traffic model predictive control, producing predictive load-balancing on road networks which dynamically assigns efficient sets of routes to car related navigation aids and which navigation aids may refer to in dash navigation or to smart phone navigation application. The system and methods are may enable, for example, to improve or to substitute commercial navigation service solutions, applying under such upgrade or substitution a new highly efficient proactive traffic control for city size or metropolitan size traffic.

  • Publication number: 20200234582
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods applying incentive based non-discriminating and anonymous dynamic car navigation driven traffic load balancing, using DTA based model predictive control that dynamically assigns sets of routes to car navigation aids wherein sets of routes tend to converge to non- discriminating sets under said traffic load balancing control and wherein in-vehicle privacy preserving incentives enable anonymous load balancing operation without potential big brother syndrome. The system and methods enable to apply a new highly efficient proactive traffic control for a city or metropolitan road network while improving or substituting commercial navigation service solutions.

  • Patent number: 6734823
    Abstract: A method of tracking changes in position of a plurality of remote stations, each having, the method comprising: (a) assigning a plurality of transmission slots to each of the remote stations; (b) determining, by the respective stations, of their positions; (c) initially transmitting, by the respective stations of their positions; (d) determining, by the respective stations, of their positions, relative to the previously determined and transmitted positions; and (e) subsequently transmitting, by the respective stations, of the determined relative positions, wherein the slots themselves indicate the relative determined position and wherein the determined relative position is indicated by the presence or absence of a signal in one or more of said plurality of slots.

  • Patent number: 6437743
    Abstract: A method of mapping (FIG. 10) a characteristic value of a plurality of remote stations (18-24) each having a varying attribute affecting the characteristic value computed according to a predetermined procedure comprising: (a) assigning a plurality of transmission slots to each of the remote stations; (b) determining, by the respective stations, of their characteristic values; (c) initially broadcasting, by the respective stations, of their determined characteristic values in said plurality of transmission slots, said broadcast characteristic value having a first characteristic value resolution; and (d) subsequently broadcasting, by the stations, of their respective characteristic values in said plurality of transmission slots, said subsequent broadcasting having a finer characteristic value resolution relative to said previously broadcasted characteristic value having a first characteristic value resolution.
