SELF DECLARING DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE USING RESTRICT TRAFFIC LANES
First Claim
1. A self-declaring device installed on a vehicle, comprising:
- a sensor module configured to collect data from inside the vehicle;
a wireless transceiver configured to communicate with an electronic toll collection (ETC) system; and
a microcontroller coupled to both the sensor module and the wireless transceiver and configured to;
receive at least a portion of data collected by the sensor module;
determine occupancy data based at least in part on the at least a portion of data; and
change an operation state of the wireless transceiver based at least on the determined occupancy data.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides various examples of a self-declaring wireless device installed on a vehicle operable to automatically detect, determine and declare occupancy information of the vehicle traveling on a restricted traffic lane to an electronic toll collection (ETC) system. According to one aspect, a process for performing self-declaration by a vehicle traveling on a restricted traffic lane includes the steps of: receiving sensor data collected by one or more sensors installed on the vehicle; determining occupancy data of the vehicle based on the received sensor data; and controlling a wireless transceiver installed on the vehicle to communicate with an electronic toll collection (ETC) system associated with the restricted traffic lane based on the determined occupancy data.
