Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to a traffic control system, the system includes at least: a Wi-Fi communication unit which connects between vehicles and Internet network; and a control unit which controls the vehicles by a Wi-Fi network. The control unit generates crowdsourcing data by using the data collected from the vehicles, and controls the vehicles based on the generated crowdsourcing data.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a server including:
- a communication unit configured to connect between vehicles and an internet network;
- and
- a control unit configured to
- control the vehicles by a wireless network,
- generate crowdsourcing data by using the data collected from sensors equipped in the vehicles,
- transmit the generated crowdsourcing data to electronic control units (ECUs) embedded in the vehicles that update navigation information stored in storages in the ECUs embedded in the vehicles based on the crowdsourcing data transmitted from the control unit to the ECUs embedded in the vehicles, wherein the generated crowdsourcing data is combined, by the ECUs embedded in the vehicles, with the data collected from the sensors equipped in the vehicles, to update navigation information stored in the storages in the ECUs embedded in the vehicles,
- update navigation information stored in the control unit based on the generated crowdsourcing data, and
- transmit the updated navigation information by the control unit, to the ECUs embedded in the vehicles.

A method for controlling a traffic, performed by a traffic control system including a server including a communication unit, and a control unit, the method comprising:
- connecting, by the communication unit, via a wireless network, between vehicles and an internet network;
- collecting, by the communication unit, data from sensors equipped in the vehicles;
- generating, by the control unit, crowdsourcing data by using the data collected from the sensors equipped in the vehicles;
- transmitting, by the communication unit, the generated crowdsourcing data to electronic control units (ECUs) embedded in the vehicles that update navigation information stored in storages in the ECUs embedded in the vehicles based on the crowdsourcing data transmitted from the control unit to the ECUs embedded in the vehicles, wherein the generated crowdsourcing data is combined, by the ECUs embedded in the vehicles, with the data collected from the sensors equipped in the vehicles, to update navigation information stored in the storages in the ECUs embedded in the vehicles;
- updating, by the control unit, navigation information stored in the control unit based on the generated crowdsourcing data;
- and
- transmitting, by the communication unit, the updated navigation information by the control unit, to the ECUs embedded in the vehicles.
