Apparatus for Predicting Traffic Speed and Method Thereof - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240129211 titled 'Apparatus for Predicting Traffic Speed and Method Thereof

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an apparatus and method for predicting traffic speed based on spatio-temporal relationships between different links.

  • The apparatus includes an input device to receive traffic speed sequences from multiple links.
  • The controller then analyzes the spatio-temporal relationship between the traffic speeds of these links to predict the future traffic speed of a specific target link.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in:

  • Traffic management systems
  • Navigation apps
  • Urban planning tools

Problems Solved

  • Traffic congestion
  • Accurate travel time estimation
  • Efficient route planning

Benefits

  • Improved traffic flow
  • Reduced travel times
  • Enhanced overall transportation efficiency

Potential Commercial Applications

"Predictive Traffic Speed Apparatus for Smart Cities"

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of historical traffic data to predict future traffic conditions. However, the specific spatio-temporal relationship analysis described in this patent application may be a novel approach.

Unanswered Questions

How does the apparatus handle real-time updates in traffic conditions?

The patent application does not provide details on how the apparatus adjusts predictions in real-time based on new traffic data.

What is the accuracy rate of the traffic speed predictions made by the apparatus?

The patent application does not mention the accuracy rate or any validation studies conducted to assess the effectiveness of the predictive model.


Original Abstract Submitted

an apparatus for predicting a traffic speed and a method thereof are provided. the apparatus includes an input device that receives traffic speed sequences of a plurality of links and a controller that detects a spatio-temporal relationship between traffic speeds of the plurality of links and predicts a future traffic speed of a target link based on the spatio-temporal relationship between the traffic speeds of the plurality of links.
