Abstract
A road sensor has a housing, at least one sensor inside the housing, a processor inside the housing, the processor configured to execute instructions to cause the processor to: receive data from the at least one sensor; use machine learning to recognize conditions local to the sensor from the sensor data; and provide an output signal of the conditions. A method of providing road conditions includes receiving, at a road sensor, input detectable by at least one sensor, using a processor in the road sensor to execute code that will cause the processor to: receive sensor data from the at least one sensor; apply machine learning to the sensor data to recognize at least one road condition associated with the sensor data; and transmit an output signal identifying the road conditions.
Claims19
A road sensor, comprising:
- a housing having a same profile and shape as a raised pavement marker;
- at least one sensor inside the housing;
- a processor inside the housing, the processor configured to execute instructions to cause the processor to:
- receive data from the at least one sensor;
- use machine learning to recognize conditions local to the sensor from the sensor data;
- and
- provide an output signal of the conditions.
A method of providing road conditions, comprising:
- receiving, at a road sensor, input detectable by at least two sensors located in the road sensor;
- using a processor in the road sensor to execute code that will cause the processor to:
- receive sensor data from the at least two sensors located in the road sensor;
- apply machine learning to the sensor data to recognize at least one road condition associated with the sensor data;
- and
- transmit an output signal identifying the road conditions.
