CLOUD-BASED STOP-AND-GO MITIGATION SYSTEM WITH MULTI-LANE SENSING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17943917 titled 'CLOUD-BASED STOP-AND-GO MITIGATION SYSTEM WITH MULTI-LANE SENSING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes systems and methods for activating mitigation strategies through a cloud-based system to reduce stop-and-go traffic. A control vehicle can activate a mitigation strategy to maintain the vehicle at a reference speed based on stop-and-go waves.

  • Cloud-based system for activating mitigation strategies
  • Control vehicle can activate and operate based on mitigation strategy
  • Mitigation strategy involves maintaining vehicle at reference speed

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in transportation systems, autonomous vehicles, and traffic management solutions.

Problems Solved

This technology helps reduce stop-and-go traffic, improve traffic flow, and enhance overall transportation efficiency.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include smoother traffic flow, reduced congestion, lower fuel consumption, and improved driver experience.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing traffic flow in smart cities Enhancing autonomous vehicle systems Improving transportation logistics with real-time data analysis

Unanswered Questions

How does the cloud-based system communicate with control vehicles to activate mitigation strategies?

The patent application does not provide specific details on the communication protocol or technology used for this purpose.

What are the potential cybersecurity risks associated with a cloud-based system controlling vehicles on the road?

The patent application does not address potential cybersecurity threats or measures to ensure the security of the system and data transmitted between vehicles and the cloud platform.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods are provided for activating mitigation strategies through a cloud-based system. Embodiments of the systems and methods disclosed herein can provide mitigation strategies to reduce or eliminate the stop-and-go traffic. A control vehicle can activate a mitigation strategy and operate the vehicle in accordance with the mitigation strategy based on stop-and-go waves. The mitigation strategy may comprise maintaining the vehicle at a reference speed.
