Abstract: Transit through an area by a population of travelers may be evaluated by a number of techniques, and may be useful for routing, transit time estimation, and transit control. Some techniques involve the use of probes, such as individuals or vehicles that are tagged and trackable through the area. However, estimating properties such as transit queue volume through probe counts may be difficult, as the ratio of probes to the overall population may vary. Presented herein are techniques for estimating transit properties by evaluating transit queues to estimate the probe ratio for an area. Such techniques involve counting and tracking the probes in a transit queue to estimate a queue length change of the transit queue, and a probe rate change of probes entering and exiting the transit queue. This information may inform estimates of the probe ratio, and in turn regional transit estimates, such as transit queue volumes.

Abstract: Estimates may be compiled of a volume of travelers in an area, such as vehicles, pedestrians, and migratory wildlife. Such estimates are often compiled through human observation and/or the deployment of regional monitoring equipment, such as roadside cameras and road-embedded sensors; however, such techniques may entail significant costs in equipment purchase, deployment, monitoring, and maintenance, and may exhibit inadequate accuracy and/or rapidity of data collection. Presented herein are techniques for estimating a traveler volume in an area by using an aerial device, such as a drone, to capture an aerial image of the area from an aerial perspective, and applying object recognition machine vision techniques to recognize and count the travelers depicted in the aerial image. Such data may be used to estimate traveler volume; to evaluate transit patterns of the travelers throughout a region; and/or to control transit patterns of the travelers using transit control devices.

Abstract: Vehicles operation is often regulated by vehicle operation policies, such as operator and vehicle licensing, safe operation rules, and emissions testing, as well as advisory policies (e.g., safety tips) and infrastructure policies (e.g., traffic congestion reduction). However, enforcement of vehicle operation policies may be infrequent, costly, inaccurate, and/or ineffective for particular types of problems. Presented herein are techniques for enforcing vehicle operation policies using vehicle telemetrics detected by a vehicle telemetry sensor and reported to telemetric monitoring components during operation of the vehicles. For example, in-car emissions sensors may regularly report emissions data to roadside monitors, enabling continuous monitoring, early detection of emissions problems, and accurate measurements during road travel. Additional telemetric exchange may promote the persuasion of advisory vehicle operation policies, such as safety tips, and the transmission of travel information of interest to other vehicles and individuals, such as road hazards, traffic congestion, and available parking spots.

Abstract: Vehicles feature various forms of automated driving control, such as speed control and braking distance monitoring. However, the parameters of automated control may conflict with the user driving behaviors of the user; e.g., braking distance maintained with respect to a leading vehicle may seem overcautious to users who prefer shorter braking distances, and unsafe to users who prefer longer braking distances. Presented herein are techniques for controlling vehicles according to the user driving behaviors of users. While a user operates a vehicle in a driving context, a device monitors various driving features (e.g., acceleration or braking) to determine various user driving behaviors. When requested to control a driving feature of the vehicle, a controller may identify the user driving behaviors of the user in the driving context, and control the driving features according to the user driving behaviors, thus personalizing automated driving to the preferences of the user.

Abstract: Users who are traveling on a path between a first location and a second location may be informed by navigation devices about the user's selected route. The path may also feature two or more lanes, which may present comparative advantages (e.g., a toll-restricted lane may present less traffic, and a toll-free lane may present more traffic at a reduced cost). Presented herein are techniques for enabling navigation devices to advise users about the lanes of the path. A travel service may collect information about the respective lanes, such as traffic density and the typical travel duration of users utilizing the lane during various periods, and may transmit information about the predicted travel durations of the respective lanes to the device. Such information may enable the device to advise the user to choose a selected lane, according to the predicted travel durations of the lanes of the path.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for determining a scaled flow rate of traffic for a road segment. For example, probe flow rate information is determined based upon locational information from one or more probe vehicles on a road segment (e.g., a flow rate of probe vehicles corresponding to a sum of probe vehicles identified from time stamped global positioning system coordinates provided by the probe vehicles). Satellite imagery of the road segment is analyzed to identify a count of vehicles on the road segment. Scale factor and offset information is estimated based upon the probe flow rate information and the count of vehicles. The scale factor and offset information is used to scale the probe flow rate information to determine a scaled flow rate that may be a relatively accurate flow rate of traffic, which may correspond to an inferred traffic volume along the road segment.

Abstract: Techniques are described for using information regarding road traffic and other types of transportation-related information to determine and/or assess alternative inter-modal passenger travel options in a geographic area that supports multiple modes of transportation. For example, a particular user may have multiple alternatives for travel from a starting location to a destination location in the geographic area, including to use alternative modes of transportation (e.g., private vehicle, bus, train, walking, etc.) for some or all of the travel, and these alternatives may have different travel-related characteristics in different situations (e.g., depending on current road traffic; mass transit schedules and current actual deviations; travel-related fees for gas, parking, mass transit, etc; parking availability; etc.). Multiple alternative travel options are thus assessed for a given situation based on multiple types of information, enabling one or more preferred travel options for the given situation to be identified and used.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for operating an autonomous vehicle based upon a driving preference. For example, a driving profile, comprising a driving preference (e.g., a speed preference, a route preference, etc.) of a user, may be provided to an automated driving component of the autonomous vehicle. An operational parameter for the autonomous vehicle may be generated based upon the driving preference of the user. The autonomous vehicle may be operated based upon the operational parameter. In an example, a condition of the user traveling in the autonomous vehicle may be determined, and the operational parameter for the autonomous vehicle may be adjusted based upon the condition of the user not corresponding to the driving preference.
