  • Patent number: 11037438
    Abstract: A pedestrian terminal transmits a message including pedestrian information to a roadside machine. In a case where the message transmitted from the pedestrian terminal is received, the roadside machine accumulates the pedestrian information included in the message as passage history information, detects occurrence of an abnormal event for a person possessing the pedestrian terminal based on the passage history information, and transmits the message including information indicating that the abnormal event occurs for the person possessing the pedestrian terminal to a nearby pedestrian terminal.

  • Patent number: 10771921
    Abstract: A pedestrian terminal device receives pedestrian information transmitted from another pedestrian terminal device which is present in the vicinity of the pedestrian terminal device. A location of the pedestrian terminal device is acquired, and it is determined whether or not a pedestrian who carries the pedestrian terminal device is located inside a pedestrian group based on the location of the pedestrian terminal device and a location of the other pedestrian terminal device included in the pedestrian information. When the pedestrian is located inside the pedestrian group, pedestrian-vehicle communication is stopped.

  • Publication number: 20200273325
    Abstract: A pedestrian terminal transmits a message including pedestrian information to a roadside machine from an ITS communicator. In a case where the message transmitted from the pedestrian terminal is received by an ITS communicator, the roadside machine accumulates the pedestrian information included in the message in a storage as passage history information and a controller generates path guidance information related to an evacuation path at a time of occurrence of a disaster based on the passage history information of the storage. Particularly, a care-needed person such as an aged person or a person frequently performing a dangerous behavior is detected, and the path guidance information for the person is generated. The message including the path guidance information is transmitted to the pedestrian terminal present nearby.

  • Patent number: 10431090
    Abstract: Pedestrian terminal device that can save power consumption. The pedestrian terminal device carried by a pedestrian is provided with an operation mode selector for selecting one of a principal terminal operation mode wherein a pedestrian-vehicle communication with an in-vehicle terminal device is performed representing other pedestrian terminal devices, and an in-group terminal operation mode wherein a short-range wireless communication of a shorter range and a smaller power output than the pedestrian-vehicle communication is performed with another pedestrian terminal device operating in the principal terminal operation mode.

  • Patent number: 6580703
    Abstract: A code reader reads code specification information stored in a code list. An interference level measurer measures the interference level of a received signal despread with the code specification information read by the code reader. A threshold selector selects a code specification information corresponding to an interference level smaller than a preset threshold and stores the selected code specification information in a code candidate list. A code determiner determines the code specification information of a base station from the selected code specification information. When a new base station is added, a base station code may be automatically determined without needing a theoretical design for assigning codes to all base stations.
