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.
Claims19
A method implemented by a mobile monitoring system for detecting unique identifiers (ID) from wireless devices, comprising:
- collecting, at a receiver of a monitoring device, one or more information packets transmitted from one or more wireless devices;
- determining, with processing circuitry of the monitoring device, whether the collected packets exceed a packet-threshold to determine whether or not to extract a unique ID for each of the one or more wireless devices;
- invoking, with the processing circuitry and when it is determined that the collected packets do not exceed the packet threshold, more information packets to be transmitted from the one or more wireless devices until the invoked information packets exceed the packet-threshold;
- extracting, with the processing circuitry, the unique IDs from the information packets that exceed the packet-threshold;
- inferring, at a server, a crowd density and traffic condition based on the unique IDs;
- and
- transmitting, from the server, a traffic estimation to the one or more wireless devices based on the crown density and traffic condition.
A monitoring system for automatically detecting unique identifiers (ID) from wireless devices, comprising:
- one or more mobile monitoring devices configured to collect wireless signals emitted from the one or more wireless devices, each mobile monitoring device including
- a memory configured to store the signals, and
- a receiver configured to collect one or more information packets transmitted from one or more wireless devices, and
- a transmitter configured to transmit the collected information packets to a server, the server including processing circuitry configured to
- determine whether the collected packets exceed a packet-threshold to determine whether or not to extract a unique ID for each of the one or more wireless devices,
- invoke, when it is determined that the collected packets do not exceed the packet threshold, more information packets to be transmitted from the one or more wireless devices until the invoked information packets exceed the packet-threshold,
- extract the unique IDs from the information packets that exceed the packet-threshold,
- infer a crowd density and traffic condition based on the unique IDs, and
- transmit a traffic estimation to the one or more wireless devices based on the crown density and traffic condition.
A computer-readable medium storing executable instructions, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute a method comprising:
- collecting one or more information packets transmitted from one or more wireless devices;
- determining whether the collected packets exceed a packet-threshold to determine whether or not to extract a unique ID for each of the one or more wireless devices;
- invoking, when it is determined that the collected packets do not exceed the packet threshold, more information packets to be transmitted from the one or more wireless devices until the invoked information packets exceed the packet-threshold;
- extracting the unique IDs from the information packets that exceed the packet-threshold;
- inferring a crowd density and traffic condition based on the unique IDs;
- and
- transmitting a traffic estimation to the one or more wireless devices based on the crown density and the traffic congestion.
