The present disclosure relates to a method for which a road area is divided into multiple resources and a storage device for reservation data for exclusively reserving the respective resource is provided that is made available to each road user. A control circuit of a respective road user plans a respective movement route over at least one of the resources on the basis of reservation data currently stored in the storage device and takes the planned movement route as a basis for reserving the resources required therefor by generating its own reservation data in the storage device.

A system for facilitating communication in regard to a user in labor may include a first electronic device associated with the user, a set of second electronic devices associated with emergency contacts, and a server. The server may be configured to retrieve coordinates of a predetermined location, a current position of the user, and vehicle information corresponding to a vehicle in which the user is traveling to the predetermined location. The server may transmit a command to activate an electronic sign associated with the vehicle to indicate the labor status. The server may transmit a first notification including the vehicle information and an estimated time of arrival to the one or more second electronic devices. The server may determine whether the user is in an emergency state and output a second notification including information related to the emergency state to the one or more second electronic devices.

An information provision system has a vehicle-mounted device, server, and mobile terminal, which send and receive information to and from one another. The vehicle-mounted device has an imaging unit that images a vicinity of a vehicle, and a first transmitting unit that sends position information, vehicle condition information, and captured image data, to the server. The server has a dangerous spot information creating unit that creates dangerous spot information having a danger level and associated with position information, based on the vehicle condition information and captured image data, and a second transmitting unit that sends the dangerous spot information to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal has a third transmitting unit that sends position information to the server, a receiving unit that receives the dangerous point information corresponding to the position information of the mobile terminal, and an output unit that outputs a warning based on the dangerous spot information.

Systems and techniques are described for consuming data in an intelligent transport system. In some implementations, a system includes a display screen device and sensors. The sensors generates data describing sensor observations of a roadway at a first location and provides data describing the observations to the display screen device. The display screen device receives the data and determines an event and a type of the event. The display screen device displays second data indicative of the type of event, the second data being of a format that is consumable by a sensor on a vehicle traversing the roadway towards the first location, the sensor (i) located within a first resolution distance from the display screen device and (ii) located outside a second resolution distance of detecting the event, wherein the second data is used by an on-board processing system of the vehicle to adjust its driving behavior.

An information processing device includes a communication unit and a control unit. The control unit selects at least one instant message as a selected message from one or more instant messages transmitted and received between terminal devices including a first terminal device. The control unit selects the selected message based on at least one of pick-up time and drop-off time of a vehicle picking up and dropping off a first user of the first terminal device. The control unit determines evaluation of a service provided in the vehicle based on the selected message.

A method of directing traffic flow includes receiving, by a processor, navigation information from a vehicle in a multi-edge communication network, and receiving, by the processor, a status of an edge node traffic control device of the multi-edge communication network. The edge node traffic control device is configured to regulate traffic flow on a path segment. The method includes determining, by the processor, a navigation command based on the navigation information and the status, and outputting, by the processor, the navigation command to the vehicle through the multi-edge communication network.

An embodiment mobility guidance system includes a sensor provided in a mobility and configured to capture a driving video or an image to transmit the driving video or the image, a memory configured to store a danger zone image, a detector configured to compare the driving video or the image captured by the sensor with the danger zone image stored in the memory to detect an existence of a danger zone on a driving path of the mobility, and a guide configured to set a guide zone in response to the detector detecting the existence of the danger zone and a change in a speed or an acceleration of the mobility, and to provide the guide zone to a second mobility.

Various aspects of a system, a method, and a computer program product for determining a distance to the object on a road are disclosed herein. In accordance with an embodiment, the system includes a memory and a processor. The processor may be configured to receive visual data, location data and motion data of the vehicle corresponding to the first instance in time, and map data corresponding to the location data. The processor may be configured to calculate a distance of the vehicle from the object based on the visual data. The processor may be further configured to validate the location data, the motion data, and the calculated distance of the vehicle from the object, based on the map data. The processor may be further configured to generate output data corresponding to the object, based on the validated location data, the validated motion data, and the validated distance of the vehicle from the object.

An image projection apparatus that can be attached to a vehicle and can be effectively utilized for acquisition of road surface condition information, detection of a hidden vehicle, and the like is provided. The image projection apparatus that projects an image includes: an acquisition unit that acquires information related to a vehicle; an image projection unit that projects an image based on the information acquired by the acquisition unit; and imaging means that acquires an image outside the vehicle, the image projection unit projects light in a wavelength band centered on a wavelength of 1.4 μm and the imaging means provides the information related to the vehicle by imaging an image projected based on the light in the wavelength band centered on the wavelength of 1.4 μm.

A database of high risk locations is formed and high risk causal factors for the high risk locations determined. Driver behavior is monitored at the sites in the database using data collection devices such as electronic logging devices or mobile phones to see if the drivers exhibit the same specific behaviors that are considered contributing factors to specific accident types at risk of occurrence at those sites. Warnings are provided to drivers approaching the specific sites to prompt behavioral changes which may further be monitored by the data collection devices.
