Roadside Infrastructure Node Topology Optimization

The patent uses simulation environments to create virtual copies of infrastructure node topologies for evaluation. Multiple candidate topologies are modeled and tested in simulation before actual deployment, allowing comprehensive evaluation without physical implementation of each candidate. This copying approach enables thorough reliability assessment while avoiding the complexity of testing multiple physical deployments.

The patent performs preliminary evaluation of candidate topologies through simulation and fitness scoring before final deployment. By conducting simulations, evaluations, and optimizations in advance, the system identifies the most promising topology configurations before committing to actual infrastructure deployment, reducing implementation complexity while ensuring reliability.

The patent employs iterative genetic search algorithms that periodically evaluate and evolve candidate topologies through generations. The process cycles through selection, crossover, and mutation operations, progressively improving topology efficiency over multiple iterations. This periodic evaluation approach balances computational effort with optimization quality, achieving efficient data communication configurations without requiring exhaustive search of all possible topologies.

The patent uses genetic algorithms to systematically vary and optimize topology parameters such as node positions, orientations, and sensor configurations. By changing these parameters iteratively based on fitness scores, the system discovers optimized configurations that improve data communication efficiency while managing evaluation time through directed search rather than random exploration.

The patent implements fitness evaluation that uses multiple parameters including sensor fields of view, mounting locations, network latencies, and environmental factors. By incorporating these multiple parameters into the simulation, the system achieves comprehensive and accurate fitness scoring that reflects real-world performance, accepting the increased computational load as necessary for reliable topology selection.

The patent introduces simulation environments as intermediaries between candidate topology definitions and fitness evaluation. The simulation acts as a mediator that translates topology configurations into performance metrics, handling the computational complexity of multi-parameter evaluation while providing accurate fitness scores to guide the genetic search algorithm.
