COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18469985 titled 'COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system where probe data from a vehicle is only transmitted to a server device if certain conditions are met, including the receipt of specific time stamps from surrounding vehicles.
- Communication device on a probe vehicle can communicate with server device and other devices on nearby vehicles.
- Probe data is not transmitted if M or more time stamps within the past N minutes are received before the vehicle passes through a link in the road network.
- Probe data is transmitted to the server device along with a generated time stamp corresponding to the link.
- If M or more time stamps within the past N minutes are not received, the generated time stamp is transmitted to the surroundings of the probe vehicle.
Key Features and Innovation
- Conditional transmission of probe data based on time stamps from surrounding vehicles.
- Generation and transmission of time stamps corresponding to specific links in the road network.
- Efficient data transmission and communication between probe vehicles and server devices.
Potential Applications
- Traffic management systems
- Vehicle tracking and monitoring
- Road network optimization
Problems Solved
- Overload of unnecessary data transmission
- Improved accuracy of probe data collection
- Enhanced communication between vehicles in a network
Benefits
- Reduced data congestion
- More precise and relevant probe data
- Enhanced efficiency in traffic and road network management
Commercial Applications
The technology can be utilized in smart city initiatives, transportation logistics, and fleet management systems to improve traffic flow, optimize routes, and enhance overall road network efficiency.
Questions about the Technology
How does this technology improve data transmission efficiency in traffic management systems?
The technology ensures that only relevant probe data is transmitted, reducing unnecessary data congestion and improving the accuracy of information shared between vehicles and server devices.
What are the potential implications of using generated time stamps in road network optimization?
Generated time stamps can help track the movement of vehicles through specific links in the road network, allowing for better analysis of traffic patterns and optimization of routes.
Original Abstract Submitted
In a case where the communication device can communicate with the server device and other communication devices mounted on other probe vehicles around the probe vehicle, and N is a real number of zero or more and M is an integer of one or more, the probe data obtained from the probe vehicle is not transmitted when M or more time stamps within the past N minutes corresponding to the link are received from the surroundings of the probe vehicle before the probe vehicle has passed through the link in the road network, and the probe data is transmitted to the server device in association with the link, a time stamp corresponding to the link is generated, and the generated time stamp is transmitted to the surroundings of the probe vehicle when M or more time stamps within the past N minutes corresponding to the link are not received.
