An automated traffic control system provides real time alternative traffic flow solutions to address traffic congestion on a roadway. A process will pick routes to scan for real-time statistics on the traffic conditions and calculate an average vehicle speed (AVS) for that route, road, highway, etc. If the AVS drops below a historical threshold, a decision matrix is created, whereby all the real-time data is compared with historical data and provides an ideal or best alternative route for “route X”. The operator is provided this information within seconds and is allowed to make a decision to “accept pr decline” the proposed changes in routes. If the proposed changes are accepted, the changes begin to occur automatically such as but not limited to updating electronic signage, changing traffic control signals (all green to keep traffic moving), moving electronic barriers, etc.

An electronic sign having slotted frame cabinets whereby each slotted frame cabinet can conveniently be attached to one or more vertically or horizontally positioned adjacent slotted frame cabinets by using connecting components which are generally located around the periphery of one or more slotted frame cabinets.

Electronically programmed signs consist of any array of picture elements (pixels) that can be controlled independently to create an image. Varying the intensity of each pixel and adding multiple colors per pixel will enhance the image quality. It is currently common to have displays that use one, two or three separate colors in a pixel (monochrome, red-green, and red, green and blue) with intensity levels of two, four, eight up to 256 and beyond. Multiple colored pixels can combine colors at various intensity levels to expand the displayable color palette. The number of colors it is possible to display is calculated by the following formula:total⁢⁢number⁢⁢of⁢⁢displayable⁢⁢colors=(number⁢⁢of⁢⁢primary⁢⁢colors)(number⁢⁢of⁢⁢intensitylevels⁢⁢per⁢⁢colors)While raising the number of intensity levels and colors improves image quality, it also raises the viewer's sensitivity to inconsistencies in both parameters.

An electronic sign having a formed metal cabinet where precise and close tolerance formed planar panels and formed channels are fastened together only by rivets, nut inserts, adhesive coated tapes, or the combination thereof for rapid assembly thereof.

An active region or channel for printed, organic or plastic electronics or polymer semiconductors, such as organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), is obtained by using an enhanced inkjet drop-cast printing technique.

The present invention discloses a method for automatically sequencing electronic signs of ships in an electronic chart, and in particular a sign sequencing method for aligning the overlapped signs in a specific region based on a sequencing algorithm. According to the present invention, after overlapped informative signs of ships in an electronic chart, widths, heights and latitude information corresponding to the ships are analyzed; these overlapped signs are automatically spread and sequenced in a designated idle region in the electronic chart. This solves the problem that the signs are overlapped which causes interference to user's acquisition of valid information. The method according to the present invention, different from the convention method in which a mouse is used to drag one by one the signs overlapped, frame selects a large number of aggregated signs by using the mouse, and then spreads and sequence the signs in a designated position, thereby solving the problem of overlapped signs. Compared with manual spreading of the signs, the method according to the present invention can not only quickly solve the problem of a large number of overlapped signs , but also can make the sequenced signs more beautiful and ordered.
