Abstract

A “Traffic Reporting” Method and System utilizing a unique traffic data gathering and processing methodology consisting of both personal testimony and available commercial computer related traffic program data. Analysis of the gathered data is then achieved resulting in timely and accurate critical traffic related information and/or route evasion instructional information which shall be broadcast for public consumption on a continuous “Real-time” bases via FM-VHF radio broadcast utilizing a Localized National Network of Radio Broadcast Stations (RBS). The RBS shall be engineered in a Cellular Zone type areas or Radio Broadcast Zones (RBZ) which shall provide coverage to each assigned metropolitan area.

Claims

1. A Method for facilitating the Gathering and Analyzation of vehicular ground traffic related information comprising

I. of Manual related teleconferencing and

II. The subsequent receipt of Automated Machine Type (i.e. computer related) data. The combining of and subsequent analyzation of either/both shall result in accurate, timely and informative traffic broadcast information.

2. In accordance with claim 1, (I.) methodology which shall involve data gathering sources which require human intervention via cellular telephone, text messaging (or like devices) which shall provide site specific traffic related data regarding certain geographic location(s) that shall contribute to and/or resolve traffic congestion either in a proactive or reactive manner.

3. In accordance with claim 1, (I.) methodology which shall involve communication with Federal, State and/or Private NEWS/Weather Representatives and/or points of contact who shall provide vital traffic affecting data that may contribute to and/or resolve traffic congestion either in a proactive or reactive manner.

4. In accordance with claim 1, (I.) a methodology which shall involve Emergency Management Personnel (Federal, State and/or Private), either in the field or central office location which shall provide critical traffic related data that may contribute to and/or resolve traffic congestion either in a proactive or reactive manner.

5. In accordance with claim 1, (II.) a methodology which shall result within the collection and aggregate of computerized data from which shall be sourced from Federal, State, and/or Private entity that may contribute to and/or resolve traffic congestion either in a proactive or reactive manner.

6. A System(s) for the facilitation of Delivery of Traffic related information

enabling continuous “

real-time”

traffic radio broadcast to Public sector travelers and/or Private ground vehicle transportation traveling within and/or through any certain select metropolitan area(s) on a national bases.

7. Where as claim 6 shall be comprised of a “

National Network”

of Public FM-VHF (30 MHz-300 MHz) band radio stations engineered in a “

Cellular Type”

coverage, providing Real-time, Continuous Public Radio Broadcasting of critical vehicular ground related traffic affecting conditions and/or instructional data.

8. In accordance with claim 7, National Network shall refer to but not necessarily be limited to the continental United States, Alaska and Hawaii.

9. In accordance with claim 7, Cellular Type shall be synonymous to a “

Radio Broadcast Zone”

which shall refer to a geographical region or area of population which shall receive the radio broadcast Traffic related data.

10. In accordance with claim 7, the radio broadcast signal shall be Continuous or “

Uninterrupted”

, better known as;

24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year (24×

7×

365).
