Description

DESCRIPTION

System and method for dissemination by carrying and processing of traffic warning information to notify a driver

Field

The present disclosure relates to an intelligent transportation system and method which will be used in communications and automotive sectors that provides dissemination of traffic warning information by means of carrying that information by vehicles and processing of that information to notify drivers which enables dissemination of traffic warning information long distances not limited by signal range of wireless communication technologies and eliminates the need to connect to a central server and mobile connectivity. Background

Transportation is very important in today's world. Drivers must obey the traffic rules to ensure the vehicle traffic to operate reliably. Warnings concerning the traffic rules are traditionally conveyed to drivers by signs, signboards or signals placed on or above the roads. The effectiveness of this method is bound to the visual attention of drivers. But attention levels of drivers are not always reliable because of variety of factors tied to human nature and weather conditions can impede the visibility of these warnings.

Traffic signal light information systems which communicate with traffic signal lights are known. A product named "Personal Signal Assistant" establishes real-time communication with the traffic signal controllers. Cars receive real-time traffic signal information from advanced traffic management systems that monitor traffic lights. The link between vehicles and infrastructure is routed via the onboard LTE data connection and servers. "Personal Signal Assistant" communicates to public agencies systems that are capable of real-time communication. It is entirely software based and able to predict into the future of traffic signal operations using data fusion techniques and a type of simulation.

There is another signal light information system which brings traffic light information into cars to enable drivers and automotive systems to know the real-time status of traffic lights and predict their changes. Their system combines this data with map, GPS and speed limit information and then apply proprietary analytics and algorithms to predict upcoming traffic light behavior. That information is then delivered to vehicles via cellular networks. Their product "EnLighten" can be used in municipalities currently integrating their traffic management system data. This system's prediction engine uses advanced machine learning and statistical techniques to integrate a broad range of information including current light state, light timing plans, time of day, vehicle and pedestrian calls and historical behavior to determine when a light will change and certainty about the prediction. This system offers a hardware to municipalities wishing to provide their data that allows municipalities to distribute real-time traffic signal data to selected third parties of their choosing.

U.S. Patent No. 6,989,766 discloses that traffic signal data is broadcast, for receipt by vehicles traversing the road ways controlled by traffic signals. If desired, traffic lights are provided with the capability to broadcast their location, status, changing cycles and timing data continuously. A receiving system in a vehicle is configured to receive the traffic signal data and display, to a user of the vehicle, visual display information and/or audible information informing the user of a speed range which, if followed, optimizes the use of the highway and minimizes the number of starts and stops that must be made.

U.S. Patent No. 8,478,500 discloses a system and method for utilizing traffic signal information to reduce wait time at traffic signals and to reduce fuel use. Traffic signal timing data can be received from traffic signals or from a central server to determine a reference velocity for a vehicle to travel through a plurality of traffic signals. The reference velocity can then be provided to the driver so that the driver can manually control the vehicle at a velocity close to the reference velocity. The techniques also can be used in connection with a cruise control system to control the velocity of a vehicle to be close to the reference velocity.

Adaptive cruise control systems and autonomous driving systems are being developed which senses around the vehicle and the road via various sensors, radars and image processing techniques. Another system in vehicles known as start-stop system is being developed to save fuel by turning off the engine when the vehicle stops. But all of these systems are not capable of communicating with traffic signals.

All of these techniques and systems have certain limitations which can be solved by the desired characteristics of the present invention. These applications need a central traffic management system where traffic signal light information is gathered. In the cities which have the most advanced traffic management systems, only about 30% of traffic signals are connected to traffic management system and capable of real-time communication. Additionally, they work through a central server and require cellular connectivity. They predict upcoming traffic signal light behavior using techniques such as data fusion, simulation, analytics, algorithms, machine learning and statistics. In the case of receiving traffic signal data wirelessly, they are limited by the range of wireless connectivity. Furthermore, they all take into consideration only traffic signal light information but traffic infrastructure consists of other elements too such as traffic signs.

While various intelligent transportation systems and traffic signal prediction systems are developed, no system or methodology has emerged that generally encompasses all of the desired characteristics as presented herein in accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Dissemination of traffic warning information by vehicles provides sharing of traffic infrastructure information over long distances not constrained by signal range capabilities of wireless communication systems and eliminate the need to connect to a central server. Furthermore, obtaining the information directly from the source eliminates the need for any algorithm or cloud computing necessary to make predictions. These advantages of long range, connectionless, safe and economical real-time intelligent transportation system will provide the means of much needed solutions to alleviate problems of congestion and emissions and save fuel, time and resources. Consequently, because of the shortcomings mentioned and deficiencies of available techniques, an improvement is needed in the field.

Detailed description

In this detailed description, exemplary embodiments of the invention is explained solely for the purposes of better understanding of the subject and not limitations of the invention to these examples.

In general, the invention disclosed here comprises systems and methods which provide dissemination of traffic warning information by means of carrying that information by vehicles and aims processing of that information to notify drivers. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, traffic warning information is broadcasted by a data broadcasting device associated with the traffic warning object (traffic signal light, traffic sign/warden or emergency vehicle) wirelessly. Broadcasted traffic warning information may comprise the contents, location, phase, timing and topology of the traffic warning object. Broadcasted information is received and recorded by an on-board device associated with a vehicle and carried and rebroadcasted by the vehicle to be received by another users of the system. An on-board device associated with an another vehicle receiving that carried and rebroadcasted information processes that traffic warning information to notify driver. Alternatively the techniques of the present invention may be used in connection with adaptive cruise control system, start-stop system, autonomous driving systems and emergency vehicle preemption systems to provide numerous advantages and facilities.

Figures 1a and 1 b illustrates an exemplary embodiment of an intelligent transportation system. In this intelligent transportation system of figures 1 a and 1 b, traffic signal light information (150, 160) received from the data broadcasting devices (1 10, 120) are shared by means of carrying and rebroadcasting by on-board devices (130, 140). In figure 1a, on-board devices (130, 140) in vehicles traveling in opposite directions receive traffic signal light information (150, 160) from data broadcasting devices (110, 120) upon entering the range of wireless communication. Traffic signal light information (150, 160) may contain phase, timing, location and topology of the traffic signal light. The said topology information is how the crossroads at which traffic signal lights are situated are geographically positioned such as for example north-south or east-west and necessary to detect in which direction a vehicle approaches a crossroads. Figure 1 b illustrates the moment these vehicles traveling in opposite directions enter the range of wireless communication of each other. On-board devices (130, 140) in these vehicles transmit to each other the traffic signal light information (150, 160) of the crossroads they have recently transitioned which have received from the data broadcasting devices (110, 120), recorded and carried. On-board devices (130, 140) process the traffic signal light information (150, 160) they received from each other according to location, heading and speed of the vehicles at that moment. That processing may include calculation of the distance to or time to reach to the location of the next traffic signal light in the direction of travel, time to next signal phase change and speed range to reach to the location of the traffic signal light when traffic signal light is in green phase. On-board devices (130, 140) then notify driver about the results of processing accompanied with the phase of the traffic signal light and remaining time to phase change visually and/or audibly. Driver can regulate the speed of the vehicle near to the determined speed to transition the crossroads without stopping at a red light. Alternatively, this intelligent transportation system may generate a command for the adaptive cruise control system to maintain the speed of the vehicle near to the determined speed. Besides, this intelligent transportation system may generate a command for the start-stop system to stop or not to stop the engine of the vehicle in case the vehicle stops at a red light considering the time remaining to signal change and economical benefit of doing that. Additionally, a command may be generated for start-stop system not to stop the engine of the vehicle if the vehicle not stops at a red light. In an another application, this intelligent transportation system may generate commands for autonomous driving system to control the vehicle according to traffic signal light information. Figures 2a and 2b illustrates an another exemplary embodiment of an intelligent transportation system. In this intelligent transportation system of figures 2a and 2b, traffic sign information (240) received from data broadcasting device-3 (210) is carried and rebroadcasted by on-board device-3 (220) and transmitted to an another on-board device-4 (230) in a vehicle traveling towards that traffic sign. In figure 2a, on-board device-3 (220) receives traffic sign information (240) from data broadcasting device-3 (210) upon entering the range of wireless communication. Traffic sign information (240) may contain contents, location and topology of that traffic sign. Figure 2b illustrates the moment the vehicle which received, recorded and carried the traffic sign information (240) in the near future enters the range of wireless communication of an another vehicle traveling towards the traffic sign. Traffic sign information (240) received recently, recorded and carried by on-board device-3 (220) is transmitted to an another on-board device-4 (230) in a vehicle traveling towards the traffic sign. On-board device-4 (230) processes the received traffic sign information (240) according to the location, heading and speed of the vehicle at that moment. That processing may include calculation of the distance to or time to reach to the location of the traffic sign. On-board device-4 (230) then notifies driver about the results of processing accompanied with the contents of the traffic sign visually and/or audibly. Driver can control the vehicle according to the traffic sign information (240). Alternatively, this intelligent transportation system may generate a command for the adaptive cruise control system to control the speed of the vehicle according to the traffic sign information (240). In an another application, this intelligent transportation system may generate commands for autonomous driving system to control the vehicle according to the traffic sign information (240).

Figures 3a and 3b illustrates an another exemplary embodiment of an intelligent transportation system. In this intelligent transportation system of figures 3a and 3b, traffic warden information (340) deployed at a certain location by authorities received from data broadcasting device-4 (310) is carried and rebroadcasted by on-board device-5 (320) and transmitted to an another on-board device-6 (330) in a vehicle traveling towards that traffic warden. Traffic warden may be about an accident, road construction etc. In figure 3a, onboard device-5 (320) receives traffic warden information (340) from data broadcasting device-4 (310) upon entering the range of wireless communication. Traffic warden information (340) may contain contents, location and topology of that traffic warden. Figure 3b illustrates the moment the vehicle which received, recorded and carried the traffic warden information (340) in the near future enters the range of wireless communication of an another vehicle traveling towards the traffic warden. Traffic warden information (340) received recently, recorded and carried by on-board device-5 (320) is transmitted to an another on- board device-6 (330) in a vehicle traveling towards the traffic sign. On-board device-6 (330) processes the received traffic warden information (340) according to the location, heading and speed of the vehicle at that moment. That processing may include calculation of the distance to or time to reach to the location of the traffic warden. On-board device-6 (330) then notifies driver about the results of processing accompanied with the contents of the traffic warden visually and/or audibly. Driver can control the vehicle according to the traffic warden information (340). Alternatively, this intelligent transportation system may generate a command for the adaptive cruise control system to control the speed of the vehicle according to the traffic warden information (340). In an another application, this intelligent transportation system may generate commands for autonomous driving system to control the vehicle according to the traffic warden information (340).

Figure 4 illustrate an another exemplary embodiment of an intelligent transportation system. In this intelligent transportation system of figure 4, emergency vehicle information (440) which is broadcasted from an on-board device-5 (410) in an emergency vehicle is received by an on-board device-6 (420) in a vehicle traveling the same direction as the emergency vehicle. Emergency vehicle information (440) may be the type, location, heading and speed of the emergency vehicle. The received emergency vehicle information (440) is rebroadcasted by on-board device-6 (420) in the vehicle which received the emergency vehicle information (440). On-board device-7 (430) in an another vehicle which receives the rebroadcasted emergency vehicle information (440) rebroadcasts the emergency vehicle information (440). Emergency vehicle information (440) which is received by data broadcasting device-6 (450) associated with traffic signal controller in the range of wireless communication is processed and distance of emergency vehicle and time to reach to crossroads are calculated. Data broadcasting device-6 (450) then generates a control input for traffic signal controller according to the calculations to give way to vehicle traffic in the direction of travel of the emergency vehicle so that emergency vehicle transitions without stopping at a red traffic light.
