TRAFFIC CONTROL APPARATUS, SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240242603 titled 'TRAFFIC CONTROL APPARATUS, SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
The abstract describes a patent application for a traffic control apparatus that uses an imaging device to capture video images of a road. Detection means identify accidents in the captured video images, while determination means analyze the situation of the accident. Traffic light control means adjust traffic lights at the intersection where the accident occurred based on the determined situation.
- The imaging device captures video images of a road with moving objects.
- Detection means identify accidents in the captured video images.
- Determination means analyze the situation of the detected accidents.
- Traffic light control means adjust traffic lights at the accident site based on the determined situation.
Potential Applications: - Traffic management systems - Accident detection and response systems - Intersection control technology
Problems Solved: - Efficient accident detection - Improved traffic flow management - Enhanced intersection safety
Benefits: - Quick response to accidents - Reduced traffic congestion - Enhanced road safety
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Traffic Control System for Accident Management" This technology can be used in smart cities, transportation departments, and traffic management companies to improve road safety and traffic flow.
Questions about Traffic Control Apparatus: 1. How does the imaging device capture video images of the road? The imaging device is mounted at a vantage point to capture a wide view of the road. 2. What is the role of the determination means in the traffic control apparatus? The determination means analyze the situation of accidents to inform the traffic light control system.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers are constantly working on improving accident detection algorithms and integrating artificial intelligence for more accurate analysis.
Original Abstract Submitted
an imaging device can capture a video image of a road on which a moving object travels. in a traffic control apparatus, detection means detects the occurrence of an accident from a video image captured by an imaging device. determination means determines the situation of the accident that has occurred based on the video image captured by the imaging device. traffic light control means controls a traffic light installed at the intersection where the accident has occurred based on the determined situation of the accident.
