Abstract
A computing device identifies a slow moving object and activates an alert signal a predetermined period of time when the slow moving object is identified. A sensor measurement is received from a sensor to compute a speed of travel of a moving object. When the computed speed is below a predefined speed threshold, an alert signal of an alert signal device mounted adjacent to the sensor is activated and the alert signal is deactivated when a predetermined period of time relative to a time of activation of the alert signal expires.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-readable instructions that when executed by a computing device cause the computing device to:
- receive a sensor measurement from a sensor to compute a speed of travel of a moving object;
- compute a speed of travel of a moving object based on the received sensor measurement;
- and
- when the computed speed is below a predefined speed threshold,
- activate an alert signal of an alert signal device mounted adjacent to the sensor;
- and
- deactivate the alert signal when a predetermined period of time relative to a time of activation of the alert signal expires.
A device comprising:
- a sensor mounted to a post;
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium operably coupled to the processor, the computer-readable medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to
- receive a sensor measurement from the sensor;
- compute a speed of travel of a moving object based on the received sensor measurement;
- and
- when the computed speed is below a predefined speed threshold, activate an alert signal of an alert signal device mounted adjacent to the sensor;
- and
- deactivate the alert signal when a predetermined period of time relative to a time of activation of the alert signal expires.
A method of identifying a slow moving object and activating an alert signal, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, a sensor measurement from a sensor;
- computing, by the computing device, a speed of travel of a moving object based on the received sensor measurement;
- and
- when the computed speed is below a predefined speed threshold,
- activating, by the computing device, an alert signal of an alert signal device mounted adjacent to the sensor;
- and
- deactivating, by the computing device, the alert signal when a predetermined period of time relative to a time of activation of the alert signal expires.
