METHOD FOR MANAGING TRAFFIC OF CONNECTED AND AUTOMATED VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240274006 titled 'METHOD FOR MANAGING TRAFFIC OF CONNECTED AND AUTOMATED VEHICLE
The invention pertains to a method for managing traffic of connected and automated vehicles (CAV) at a road intersection with multiple branches. The method involves obtaining data related to vehicles in each branch, determining a priority level for each branch, comparing the priority levels, and instructing a CAV in a specific branch to enter the intersection at a designated time.
- Obtaining data related to vehicles in each branch of the road intersection
- Determining priority levels for each branch based on the obtained data
- Comparing the priority levels to make decisions on vehicle movement
- Instructing a CAV in a specific branch to enter the intersection at a specific time
- Optimizing traffic flow and safety at road intersections
Potential Applications: - Traffic management systems - Autonomous vehicle technology - Smart city infrastructure
Problems Solved: - Congestion at road intersections - Efficient utilization of road space - Enhanced safety for vehicles and pedestrians
Benefits: - Improved traffic flow - Reduced waiting times - Enhanced safety measures
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Traffic Management System for Connected Vehicles" This technology can be utilized by city planners, transportation departments, and autonomous vehicle manufacturers to enhance traffic flow efficiency and safety at intersections.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve traffic flow compared to traditional intersection management? - This method optimizes vehicle movement based on real-time data, reducing congestion and delays. 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this system on a large scale? - Challenges may include infrastructure upgrades, data management, and coordination with existing traffic systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
the invention relates to a method for managing traffic of connected and automated vehicles, cav, at a road intersection comprising n branches, said method comprising: for each branch i of m branches among the n branches, with i�[1;m], m equal or greater than 2 and smaller or equal to n: obtaining by a cav data related to vehicles in the i-th branch; determining by said cav a i-th value relative to a level of priority of the i-th branch; comparing the i-th values; according to the result of the comparison, instructing a first cav in one p-th branch among the m branches to enter a crossing area, ca, of the road intersection at a entering time.
