    Abstract: A system and method that enables individual travelers, including pedestrians or individuals on smaller conveyances, to communicate their location and direction of travel to signal light controllers at an intersection, enables traffic networks to receive this communication and output the detected data to the corresponding intersection traffic-signal controller to allow for individuals not in standard motor vehicles to be detected by traffic detection systems and to allow for priority of traveler flow either independent of vehicle use, or based on specifics of the vehicle used. The system also provides feedback to the traveler to provide information about the actions of the system or to alter the movement of the traveler.

    Abstract: A method for permitting a target vehicle to safely violate a right-of-way system of rules is described. The method may comprise, amongst other things, providing a roadway system, wherein the movements of vehicles within the roadway system are governed by a right-of-way system of rules; controlling a traffic control system including a plurality of traffic control signals in a manner that causes the plurality of traffic control signals to change in accordance with default control pattern for implementing the right-of-way system of rules; and modifying the default control pattern. By doings so, the method may permit a target vehicle to safely violate the right-of-way system of rules. Similarly, by doing so, the method may prevent a plurality of secondary vehicles from traveling along or through a predicted path of the target vehicle.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for system for controlling a traffic grid, the system comprising a traffic grid including a first roadway and a second roadway, the second roadway crossing the first roadway at an intersection; a special transit lane included within at least one of the first roadway and the second roadway, the special transit lane being configured to share both personal vehicular traffic and special vehicular traffic; a detector configured to detect the presence of a special vehicle within a detection zone, which detection zone is formed within the special transit lane in a predetermined area proximate to the intersection; and a signal light proximate to the intersection configured to control traffic traveling through the intersection, the signal light having a controller; wherein the controller controls the signal light to operate in a first mode of operation based, at least in part, on a detection of a special vehicle by the detector within the detection zone.

    Abstract: Systems and methods that allow use of simple priority VCUs (those that can only request an increased priority) to operate in a manner that simulates much more sophisticated schedule-adherence or ETA-type traffic control systems without the need to upgrade vehicle hardware. Instead, tracking of the vehicle, whether provided by other systems or by the VCU operating in conjunction with certain prepared points or zones is used to determine if the VCU equipped vehicle is ahead or behind schedule and operation of the VCU itself is altered to modify the expected arrival time of the vehicle.
