    摘要: Determining traffic flow data in a road network comprising passing a first radio beacon and receiving a request message that at least includes a start location and a stop location; determining if an on-board unit position is within a predetermined range of the start location, and responsively starting a recording of measurement data; determining if the on-board unit position is within a predetermined range of the stop location, and responsively stopping the recording of the measurement data; and transmitting the recorded measurement data to a next radio beacon that is passed by the on-board unit.

    摘要: The present disclosed subject matter relates to a method of controlling event-responsive traffic lights at an intersection of lanes by a controller which switches the traffic lights in a sequence of phases. The controller has a memory storing a set of phase sequences and is configured to change from one phase sequence to another. The method comprises, in a server: a) generating candidate sets of phase sequences; b) determining the traffic flows on the lanes; c) calculating a cost measure for each candidate set; and d) sending the candidate set with the lowest cost measure to the controller; in the controller, receiving and storing the sent set in the memory as the set; and repeating steps b)-d). The disclosed subject matter further relates to the server used in said method.

    摘要: A method for determining a lateral position of a vehicle passing a road and carrying a transponder uses at least two antennas mounted at different lateral positions and connected to a processor and comprises: triggering the transponder and recording signals from responses of the transponder by the processor, each signal being received via one of the antennas and recorded as i) a time of receipt at said one antenna and ii) the lateral position of said one antenna; generating by the processor a regression curve fitting all recorded signals; and determining by the processor the lateral position of the vehicle from the generated regression curve. An apparatus implementing said method is also disclosed.

    摘要: The subject matter disclosed herein relates to a method for checking toll transactions, produced from position notifications of a mobile phone connected via a mobile network to a transaction server, with the aid of a network of distributed toll beacons, which can communicate via short-range radio with on-board units of passing vehicles and are connected to the transaction server. To this end, a interoperable multi-functional OBU is created that is formed from a GNSS- and NFC-enabled mobile phone on the one hand and an NFC- and DSRC-enabled OBU on the other hand, which exchange data concerning a session identifier (SID) via their common NFC interface, which session identifier forms a link between the infrastructureless and the infrastructure-bound billing functions of the multi-functional OBU. The disclosed subject matter also relates to a toll beacon and a transaction server for same.

    摘要: The present subject matter relates to a method of predicting a traffic behaviour in a road system, comprising the following steps carried out by at least one processor connected to a database, which contains a set of traffic profiles: clustering the traffic profiles; for each cluster, determining a dissimilarity measure; receiving a request having one or more request tags; checking whether all request tags match one of the characteristic vectors of the clusters, and if so, outputting a predicted traffic behaviour, else, eliminating one of the request tags from the request and returning to the beginning of said step of checking.

    摘要: The disclosed subject matter relates to an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) service station, comprising: a receiver configured to receive, from each of a set of ITS stations, a status message which includes the geographical position of the ITS station; a controller connected to the receiver and configured to determine, on the basis of the received geographical positions, whether a subset of ITS stations in said set meets a predetermined criterion of mutual proximity; and a transmitter connected to the controller and configured to transmit, when said subset comprises two or more ITS stations, a service message indicative of the subset to the ITS stations of said subset. The disclosed subject matter further relates to an ITS station receiving a service message.

    摘要: A method for encrypted communication in an ad-hoc network having a plurality of network nodes comprises the following steps performed in a first node of the network: receiving an initiation message from a second node of the network, the received initiation message comprising a public key of said second node; determining at least one of a proximity or velocity measure of said second node; checking whether the at least one determined measure is below a threshold and, if so, emitting a reply message comprising an encrypted part and an encryption key encrypted with the received public key from said second node; and repeatedly emitting status messages, wherein at least a part of each emitted status message is encrypted with the encryption key.

    摘要: The disclosed subject-matter relates to a method for calibrating an onboard unit of a vehicle identification system, the method comprising: emitting at least one polling message from a first radio beacon; in the first radio beacon, determining a link margin of a communication with a first onboard unit by evaluating a response message of the first onboard unit to the polling message(s); and sending a configuration message from the first radio beacon or a second radio beacon to the first onboard unit or to a second onboard unit with a same characteristic as the first onboard unit to adjust a receive sensitivity or a transmit power of the first or the second onboard unit, respectively, to a level derived from the determined link margin. Alternative embodiments relate to a system and to an onboard unit used in the method.
