Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for improved pedestrian and vehicle safety along with systems and methods for obtaining or sharing data from surrounding mobile assets in the case of an occurrence of an event of interest, an impending event of interest or emergency situation.
Claims20
A system for determining whether one or more mobile assets have been involved in a collision, comprising:
- a wireless network configured to receive a collision detection message from a plurality of mobile assets, wherein the wireless network receives a first collision detection message from a first mobile asset and a second collision detection message from a second mobile asset;
- and
- comparing the first collision detection message and the second collision detection message to determine whether the first mobile asset and second mobile asset have likely collided.
A system for use with a plurality of mobile assets to acquire potentially relevant information regarding an event of interest comprising:
- a wireless network configured to monitor wireless assets within a predetermined area, the wireless network further configured to determine when an event of interest occurs within the predetermined area;
- the wireless network configured to determine a sub-plurality of mobile assets from the plurality of mobile assets proximate to the event of interest;
- the wireless network further configured to determine if any of the sub-plurality of mobile assets has potentially relevant information regarding the event of interest;
- and
- the wireless network configured to upload any potentially relevant information identified from the sub-plurality of mobile assets.
A system for use with a plurality of mobile assets to assist in the safe exit of a venue in the event of an emergency situation, comprising:
- a wireless network configured to monitor a plurality of wireless assets within a predetermined area, the wireless network further configured to determine when an emergency event occurs within the predetermined area;
- the wireless network configured to determine a sub-plurality of mobile assets potentially affected by the emergency event;
- and
- automatically providing an egress route to the mobile device to provide assistance for users of the sub-plurality of mobile assets to safely exit the venue.
