Problems solved by technology

[0009] Other methods to collect traffic information are based on tracking mobile phone users (such as the Google Maps application), but this method also has accuracy limitations and its feasibility also depends on the coverage of mobile phone services
In this regard, if traffic information is imprecise, this may exacerbate rather than alleviate traffic problems

Embodiment Construction

[0037] Such as figure 1As shown in a, the traffic management system 100 includes a central control unit 20 and one or more lighting units (eg LU0-LU10). The central control unit 20 may be located near or remote from the LUs (LU0-LU10). The central control unit 20 includes a database 21 and a communication unit 22 . The communication unit 22 is used to communicate with the LUs (LU0-LU100) and may also be used to provide access to traffic information for users or external systems. The central control unit 20 is directly or indirectly communicatively coupled with the LUs (LU0-LU10) For example, the central control unit 20 may communicate directly via a wired and / or wireless / wireless mesh connection, or indirectly via a network such as the Internet, an intranet, a wide area network (WAN), a metropolitan area network (MAN), local area network (LAN), terrestrial broadcasting system, cable network, satellite network, wireless network or telephone network (POTS), and parts or combin...

Abstract

A lighting network (100) and method therefor are disclosed. The lighting network (100) comprises a plurality of lighting units (LU0‑LU10), each comprising a wireless receiver (12) arranged to obtain a wireless signal from an object (30) to be tracked and a communication interface (14). The lighting network (100) further comprises a control unit (20) comprising a communication unit (22) arranged to communicate with at least one of said plurality of lighting units (LU0‑LU10) to obtain tracking data based on said wireless signals ). The tracking data is processed by the control unit (20) using the topology table (Fig. 1b). The topology table ( FIG. 1 b ) is based on the geographic location of the plurality of lighting units and mapping data.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to systems and methods for managing traffic information, and more particularly, to a real-time traffic management system utilizing an Outdoor Lighting Network (OLN) in an urban environment, where a Lighting Unit (LU) acts as a A listening post for signals sent by devices in . For example, the signal could be a radio frequency signal emanating from a car. Background technique [0002] Traffic congestion in cities is a growing problem. Congestion delays have serious cost burdens. This burden can be as high as 1% of GPD, and more specifically, based on recent studies and estimates, the cost burden is 1.5% in the UK, 0.9% in Germany, 1.3% in France, and 0.6% in the US. This cost burden is expected to increase in the coming years. While building additional lanes or widening lanes may help, this will not alleviate the overall traffic congestion problem. [0003] Flexible smart technologies and market-based traffic managemen...
