METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR ADAPTIVELY CONTROLLING TRAFFIC SIGNALS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240346925 titled 'METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR ADAPTIVELY CONTROLLING TRAFFIC SIGNALS
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes methods and apparatuses for adaptively controlling traffic signals based on external interventions at intersections that deviate from the traffic control plan.
- The processor identifies external interventions causing traffic control behavior deviations.
- The traffic control plan is modified based on the behavior caused by the external intervention.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Adaptive control of traffic signals based on real-time external interventions.
- Modification of traffic control plans to accommodate deviations caused by external factors.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in smart cities, transportation management systems, and traffic control infrastructure.
Problems Solved:
- Addressing traffic congestion caused by unexpected events at intersections.
- Improving traffic flow efficiency by adapting to real-time changes.
Benefits:
- Enhanced traffic management and control.
- Reduced congestion and improved overall traffic flow.
- Increased safety at intersections.
Commercial Applications: Adaptive traffic signal control systems can be implemented by city authorities, transportation departments, and companies specializing in traffic management solutions.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior patents related to adaptive traffic signal control systems and real-time traffic management technologies.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay informed about the latest developments in adaptive traffic signal control systems and real-time traffic management research.
Questions about Adaptive Traffic Signal Control Systems: 1. How does adaptive traffic signal control improve traffic flow efficiency? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing adaptive traffic signal control systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
present disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for adaptively controlling traffic signals. a method for adaptively controlling traffic signals based on a traffic control plan comprises identifying, by a processor, an external intervention occurring at an intersection, the external intervention causing traffic control behaviour at the intersection that deviates from the traffic control plan; and modifying, by the processor, the traffic control plan based on the traffic control behaviour caused by the external intervention.
