| 187 | Selectively controlling a self-driving vehicle's access to a roadway | US15800214 | 2017-11-01 | US10109195B2 | 2018-10-23 | Michael S. Gordon; James R. Kozloski; Ashish Kundu; Peter K. Malkin; Clifford A. Pickover |
| A processor-implemented method and/or computer program product selectively blocks a self-driving vehicle's access to a roadway. A vehicle interrogation hardware device receives an autonomous capability signal from an approaching self-driving vehicle. One or more processors compare the predefined roadway conditions to current roadway conditions of the access-controlled roadway. In response to the predefined roadway conditions matching the current roadway conditions of the access-controlled roadway within a predetermined range, the processor(s) determine whether the level of autonomous capability of the approaching self-driving vehicle is adequate to safely maneuver the approaching self-driving vehicle through the current roadway conditions of the access-controlled roadway. In response determining that the level of autonomous capability of the self-driving vehicle is not adequate to safely maneuver the approaching self-driving vehicle through the current roadway conditions of the access-controlled roadway, an automatic barricade controlling device positions an automatic barricade to block the approaching self-driving vehicle from accessing the access-controlled roadway. | ||||||

| Systems and methods can be used for triggering traffic light sensors. A vehicle can detect a condition indicative of a failure of a traffic light to transition (e.g., due to a failure to activate a traffic light sensor) and take action in response. In some examples, the condition can be detected based on the state of the traffic light facing the vehicle and/or the state of one or more traffic lights controlling traffic perpendicular to the vehicle. In some examples, the condition can be detected based on a duration of a state of the traffic lights. In response to detecting the condition, the vehicle can take action. In some examples, the autonomous driving system of the vehicle can automatically adjust the vehicle's position to trigger the sensor. In some examples, the vehicle can notify the driver of the condition. In some examples, the autonomous driving system of the vehicle can reroute the vehicle. | ||||||

| 194 | Traffic-light cycle length estimation device | US15114231 | 2015-01-29 | US09947218B2 | 2018-04-17 | Rie Murai |
| For each of the traveling directions (traveling direction 1 to traveling direction 4) at an intersection, a traffic-light cycle length estimation device acquires a time at which a vehicle in the stopped state starts moving, calculates the time difference between neighboring start times, which have been acquired, as a start interval, and generates a histogram based on the number of samplings of start intervals. The device combines the generated histograms into a histogram for all direction to generate one histogram that represents the relation between the start intervals and the number of samplings and, based on this histogram, estimates the cycle length of the traffic light. If a particular value, one of the start intervals, corresponds to the maximum number of samplings, that particular value is estimated as the cycle length. | ||||||

| An electronic lighted safety marker system used by emergency responders to warn motorists of the presence of an accident scene ahead on or beside the roadway is provided by the invention. Such safety marker can be deployed individually or in groups by the emergency responder along the perimeter of the accident scene and ideally ahead of it along the roadway to provide adequate warning to approaching motorists to avoid the accident scene. The safety marker contains a power source, a light panel, a protective shield for the light panel, and electronic circuitry for controlling the operation of the lights in a predetermined frequency or pattern, and may be automatically actuated and self-righting when it is dropped onto the ground or other hard surface. The safety marker further includes a transmitter for sending a signal to a receiver. Upon impact with the safety marker, the signal ceases and the receiver, equipped with an alarm, triggers either or both of an audible or visual signal. The safety marker can also contain an incursion warning system against incoming vehicles, an early warning radar transponder for sending a warning message to such incoming vehicles, a GPS location detector and transmitter for providing the location of the safety marker and its associated accident scene to a central dispatcher, and a gunshot sensor for detecting the occurrence of gunfire around the accident scene and its location to provide that information to the central dispatcher. | ||||||

| 198 | ESTIMATING TRANSIT QUEUE VOLUME USING PROBE RATIOS | US15123043 | 2015-03-03 | US20170076596A1 | 2017-03-16 | Christopher L. Scofield; Dominic Jordan |
| Transit through an area by a population of travelers may be evaluated by a number of techniques, and may be useful for routing, transit time estimation, and transit control. Some techniques involve the use of probes, such as individuals or vehicles that are tagged and trackable through the area. However, estimating properties such as transit queue volume through probe counts may be difficult, as the ratio of probes to the overall population may vary. Presented herein are techniques for estimating transit properties by evaluating transit queues to estimate the probe ratio for an area. Such techniques involve counting and tracking the probes in a transit queue to estimate a queue length change of the transit queue, and a probe rate change of probes entering and exiting the transit queue. This information may inform estimates of the probe ratio, and in turn regional transit estimates, such as transit queue volumes. | ||||||
| 199 | TRAFFIC FLOW RATES | US15123244 | 2015-03-03 | US20170076594A1 | 2017-03-16 | Christopher L. Scofield |
| One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for determining a scaled flow rate of traffic for a road segment. For example, probe flow rate information is determined based upon locational information from one or more probe vehicles on a road segment (e.g., a flow rate of probe vehicles corresponding to a sum of probe vehicles identified from time stamped global positioning system coordinates provided by the probe vehicles). Satellite imagery of the road segment is analyzed to identify a count of vehicles on the road segment. Scale factor and offset information is estimated based upon the probe flow rate information and the count of vehicles. The scale factor and offset information is used to scale the probe flow rate information to determine a scaled flow rate that may be a relatively accurate flow rate of traffic, which may correspond to an inferred traffic volume along the road segment. | ||||||
