Abstract
A first mobile monitoring system includes one or more mobile monitoring devices, a network, a server and a storage memory. The server is implemented to analyze the collected signals and the traffic information to identify at least one traffic flow according to travel routes of the one or more wireless devices; determine whether the identified at least one traffic flow exceeds an updating threshold based on the collected signals; derive at the server when the traffic flow exceeds the updating threshold, an updating priority indicating an order in which the traffic flows are processed based on the collected signals; and update a dynamic traffic transportation plan map based on the at least one traffic flow, the updating threshold and the updating priority.
Claims20
A traffic update method implemented by a mobile monitoring system including in part a server and at least one monitoring device, comprising:
- collecting, at the at least one monitoring device, signals emitted from one or more wireless devices;
- collecting, at the server, traffic information from at least one of satellite, radio channel and network sources;
- analyzing, at the server, the collected signals and the traffic information to identify at least one traffic flow according to travel routes of the one or more wireless devices;
- determining, at the server, whether the identified at least one traffic flow exceeds an updating threshold based on the collected signals;
- deriving, at the server, when the traffic flow exceeds the updating threshold, an updating priority indicating an order in which the traffic flows are processed based on the collected signals;
- and
- updating, at the server, a dynamic traffic transportation plan map based on the at least one traffic flow, the updating threshold and the updating priority.
A monitoring system for automatically detecting traffic flows, comprising:
- one or more monitoring devices configured to collect wireless signals emitted from one or more wireless devices;
- and
- a server configured to
- collect traffic information from at least one of satellite, radio channel and network sources;
- analyze the collected signals and the traffic information to identify at least one traffic flow according to travel routes of the one or more wireless devices;
- determine whether the identified at least one traffic flow exceeds an updating threshold based on the collected signals;
- derive, when the traffic flow exceeds the updating threshold, an updating priority indicating an order in which the traffic flows are processed based on the collected signals;
- and
- update a dynamic traffic transportation plan map based on the at least one traffic flow, the updating threshold and the updating priority.
A monitoring server for automatically detecting traffic flows, the server comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to
- collect traffic information from at least one of satellite, radio channel and network sources;
- analyze the collected signals and the traffic information to identify at least one traffic flow according to travel routes of the one or more wireless devices;
- determine whether the identified at least one traffic flow exceeds an updating threshold based on the collected signals;
- derive, when the traffic flow exceeds the updating threshold, an updating priority indicating an order in which the traffic flows are processed based on the collected signals;
- and
- update a dynamic traffic transportation plan map based on the at least one traffic flow, the updating threshold and the updating priority.
