Abstract
A method and system for traffic control includes receiving at a processing unit sensor data of a site on a road network and receiving at the processing unit a V2X communication. Locations of road users are calculated from the sensor data and the V2X communication enabling the detection of connected and non-connected road users. Once connected and non-connected road users are detected at a site, this information can be used to control traffic.
Claims19
A method of controlling traffic at a site of a road network, the method comprising, by a processing unit:
- receiving sensor data informative of road users in a vicinity of the site and processing the sensor data to detect sensor data-based (SD) road users and to associate the detected SD road users with SD user parameters, wherein said SD user parameters comprise SD locations respectively associated with SD users;
- receiving V2X communications comprising V2X data informative of connected road users and processing the V2X data to obtain V2X data-based (VD) parameters of connected road users characterized by respective VD parameters, wherein said VD parameters comprise VD locations respectively associated with the connected users;
- matching SD and VD locations to identify, among the SD road users detected in the vicinity of the site, a plurality of connected road users characterized by matched, at least, SD and VD locations and a plurality of non-connected road users characterized by SD locations without VD locations matching thereto;
- calculating an adoption rate of V2X technology, the adoption rate being indicative of a portion of the connected road users among road users, wherein calculating the adoption rate comprises:
- calculating a total number of SD road users detected during a given period in the vicinity of the site and a number of connected road users detected during the given period in the vicinity of the site at the site;
- and
- calculating the adoption rate of V2X technology by comparing the total number of the detected SD road users and the number of connected road therein.
One or more computing devices comprising processors and memory, the one or more computing devices configured, via computer-executable instructions, to perform operations for operating, in a cloud computing environment, a system controlling traffic at a site of a road network, the system further configured to operate in accordance with a method comprising:
- receiving sensor data informative of road users in a vicinity of the site and processing the sensor data to detect sensor data-based (SD) road users and to associate the detected SD road users with SD user parameters, wherein said SD user parameters comprise SD locations respectively associated with SD users;
- receiving V2X communications comprising V2X data informative of connected road users and processing the V2X data to obtain V2X data-based (VD) parameters of connected road users characterized by respective VD parameters, wherein said VD parameters comprise VD locations respectively associated with the connected users;
- matching SD and VD locations to identify, among the SD road users detected in the vicinity of the site, a plurality of connected road users characterized by matched, at least, SD and VD locations and a plurality of non-connected road users characterized by SD locations without VD locations matching thereto;
- calculating an adoption rate of V2X technology, the adoption rate being indicative of a portion of the connected road users among road users, wherein calculating the adoption rate comprises:
- calculating a total number of SD road users detected during a given period in the vicinity of the site and a number of connected road users detected during the given period in the vicinity of the site at the site;
- and
- calculating the adoption rate of V2X technology by comparing the total number of the detected SD road users and the number of connected road therein.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processing unit, cause the processing unit to enable controlling a traffic at a site of a road network in accordance with a method comprising:
- receiving sensor data informative of road users in a vicinity of the site and processing the sensor data to detect sensor data-based (SD) road users and to associate the detected SD road users with SD user parameters, wherein said SD user parameters comprise SD locations respectively associated with SD users;
- receiving V2X communications comprising V2X data informative of connected road users and processing the V2X data to obtain V2X data-based (VD) parameters of connected road users characterized by respective VD parameters, wherein said VD parameters comprise VD locations respectively associated with the connected users;
- matching SD and VD locations to identify, among the SD road users detected in the vicinity of the site, a plurality of connected road users characterized by matched, at least, SD and VD locations and a plurality of non-connected road users characterized by SD locations without VD locations matching thereto;
- calculating an adoption rate of V2X technology, the adoption rate being indicative of a portion of the connected road users among road users, wherein calculating the adoption rate comprises:
- calculating a total number of SD road users detected during a given period in the vicinity of the site and a number of connected road users detected during the given period in the vicinity of the site at the site;
- and
- calculating the adoption rate of V2X technology by comparing the total number of the detected SD road users and the number of connected road therein.
