PASSAGE INFORMATION PROVIDING DEVICE, PASSAGE INFORMATION PROVIDING METHOD, AND PROGRAM STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240346920 titled 'PASSAGE INFORMATION PROVIDING DEVICE, PASSAGE INFORMATION PROVIDING METHOD, AND PROGRAM STORAGE MEDIUM
The abstract describes a device that gathers information on the movement of people on a road to determine if the road is passable, providing passage availability information based on this data.
- The device acquires people flow information to estimate road passability.
- It outputs passage availability information indicating the state of road passability.
- The innovation helps in assessing road conditions based on human movement data.
- It offers real-time information on road passability for better decision-making.
- The device enhances road safety and efficiency by providing accurate passability information.
Potential Applications: - Traffic management systems - Urban planning and development - Emergency response coordination
Problems Solved: - Uncertainty about road conditions - Lack of real-time passability information - Inefficient traffic flow management
Benefits: - Improved road safety - Enhanced traffic flow efficiency - Better decision-making for road users
Commercial Applications: Title: Real-time Road Passability Assessment Device This technology can be utilized by transportation departments, smart city initiatives, and navigation apps to provide accurate and timely information on road passability, improving overall traffic management and safety.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the device acquire people flow information to estimate road passability? The device uses sensors or cameras to track the movement of people on the road and analyzes this data to determine passability.
2. What are the potential implications of using this technology in emergency response coordination? This technology can help emergency responders assess road conditions quickly and accurately, allowing for more efficient and effective response efforts.
Original Abstract Submitted
a passage information providing device acquires information regarding movement of people on a road as people flow information. the passage information providing device estimates whether the road is passable by using the people flow information that has been acquired. the passage information providing device outputs passage availability information indicating the estimated state of whether the road is passable.
