Disclosed herein are systems and methods for implementing virtualized Road-Side Units (vRSUs). Edge computing devices implementing one or more vRSU services may associate vehicles with identifiers that are based at least in part upon the locations of the vehicles. The locations may be established by location services of the edge computing devices, based upon communication received from the vehicles via wireless cellular communication links. The edge computing devices may then process infrastructure information that they receive, for distribution to the vehicles, at the vRSU services. Based upon the processing of infrastructure information at the vRSU services, messages may be generated for transmission to the vehicles (e.g., over the wireless cellular communication links), with the messages carrying information based upon the infrastructure information, such as in the form of safety messages and/or information messages.

Systems and apparatuses include one or more processing circuits comprising one or more memory devices coupled to one or more processors, the one or more memory devices configured to store instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: determine at least one reason for a deserter to exit a first platoon; determine a deserter position within the first platoon; communicate the deserter exit to the first platoon after determination of the at least one reason for the deserter to exit the first platoon based at least in part on the deserter position; adapt a behavior of the first platoon to allow the deserter to exit the first platoon; and reconfigure the remaining vehicles from the first platoon into a second platoon.

A method for determining space allocation and signal timing of an isolated signalized intersection consists of at least one remote server and a processing module that is communicably coupled with the at least one remote server. A plurality of traffic-related data, wherein the plurality of traffic-related data reflects activity at the isolated signalized intersection, is received through the processing module. A space determination process is performed on the plurality of traffic-related data through the processing module. Next, a timing determination process is performed on the plurality of traffic-related data through the processing module in order to minimize the average intersection delay at the isolated signalized intersection. Based upon the results from the space determination process and the timing determination process a cycle length is determined for the isolated signalized intersection.

The present method permits to get real-time traffic data by the mean of pictures took by a series of georeferenced and synchronized high speed cameras installed on the portions of the road. These pictures and these data will be transferable by a secure means such as 5G or any other fast and secure technology on a server and accessible by cloud computing. Picture processing is carried out by photogrammetric, triangulation and picture recognition approaches in order to extract the position of each vehicle, pedestrian, cyclist or any object and identify its x, y, z coordinates in a local or global referencing system. This method permits to count the flow of traffic (vehicles, pedestrians, etc.) passing through these roads portions, to reproduce the real movements of vehicles, pedestrians and any object moving on a road, make simulations with a computer and intervene remotely in real-time to manage traffic.

A traffic control device (TCD) is described for managing control of multiple right of way passages at a traffic intersection. The TCD includes a mobile wireless interface for communicating with an in-vehicle mobile wireless device (IV-MWD) to receive a commuter profile (CP) containing a subscribed switch time interval (SSTI). The TCD determines a set of passage priority values for respective ones of a set of controlled right of way passages. The TCD selects, based upon the set of passage priority values, a highest priority one of the set of controlled right of way passages as a next controlled right of way passage granted passage. The TCD resets a timer duration value associated with a next controlled right of way passage period, executes a right of way passage switch. Thereafter, the TCD maintains a current switch status of the traffic control device for a period corresponding to the timer duration value.

A pedestrian safety system for a restaurant having a drive-through lane for an automobile, a pickup window, and a pedestrian door. The system includes lane sensors proximate the pickup window that generate lane data indicate of the proximity and motion of an automobile. A controller is in data communication with the lane sensors and programmed to determine proximity and motion status data regarding an automobile in the drive through lane. A pedestrian visual alert member is positioned proximate the pedestrian door of the restaurant and includes Stop, Go, and Caution indicator lamps. An appropriate lamp is energized by the controller depending if the lane sensors detect an automobile moving downstream in the drive-through lane, stopped at the pick-up window, or the lane is clear. The system may also include pedestrian sensors inside the restaurant and a lane visual alert member having indicator lamps to indicate a status of pedestrian traffic.

A system for prioritizing traffic having a traffic signal controller (TSC), a processor, a database, and one or more detectors configured to detect the presence of a vehicle having a vehicle identifier. The system is configured so that the processor is in communication with the TSC and at least one detector, and the detectors are configured to detect passing vehicles having a vehicle identifier. In a case the vehicle identifier has a record within the database, the processor an approximate travel time of the vehicle identifier between a location of the detector where the vehicle identifier is detected and a traffic signal connected to the TSC, and a command is set to be sent from the processor to the TSC to change the traffic signal connected to the TSC in a direction of travel of the vehicle identifier if one or more conditions are met. The command sent from the processor to the TSC has a delay of between zero seconds and the approximate travel time calculated.

An abnormality detection device of an embodiment includes a traffic control center device to detect an abnormality of vehicle detectors installed in a road network, including: a first traffic management unit that collects detector information including measurement quantities from the vehicle detectors; a statistical processing unit that statistically processes the measurement quantities for each designated period to generate statistical information including statistical values of the measurement quantities; a map information generating unit that generates, based on the statistical values of the measurement quantities of the vehicle detectors that already have been determined to be abnormal by a user, map information representing a distribution situation of the statistical values of the measurement quantities in an abnormal state; and a detector state determination unit that determines, based on the measurement quantities of each vehicle detector to be assessed and the map information in the abnormal state, whether the vehicle detector is abnormal.
