Device for road and urban mobility and for solving the problem of traffic congestion
First Claim
1. A device for reducing traffic congestion, the device carried on-board a vehicle to guide the driver of the vehicle from a current position to a final destination, the device capable of real-time communication to update in Machine-to-Machine (M2M) mode a digital database stored on a remote server and capable of generating a query, said query generated by processing a satellite signal and comprising the variables of:
- (a) distance (DRj) remaining to reaching a relevant proximity of the next node of section (j);
(b) time duration (TRj) to reaching a predetermined proximity of the next node of section (j);
(c) speed (Vij) at time instant (i) where the vehicle is at a distance (DRj) of the next node of section (j); and
(d) time instant (i) for sending a query is determined by the Event occurring when reaching a relevant proximity of the next node of section (j), or significant slowing or stopping or starting again after a stop;
said device comprising a satellite receiver, a terrestrial transmitter/receiver and a micro-electronic circuit having an embedded operating algorithm capable of carrying out the following steps;
(i) identifying said driver, securing permission and entry of journey and destination data for navigational aid during the journey;
(ii) periodically processing said satellite signal relative to the position of said vehicle to determine the time instant (i) of the query;
(iii) calculating DRj, TRj and Vij;
(iv) transmitting DRj, TRj and Vij to update said digital database at the time instant (i) coinciding with said vehicle having at least one of a predetermined proximity to the next node of section (DRij), a slowdown longer than a predetermined threshold, a stoppage and a restart again after a stoppage;
(v) storing in memory files comprising at least one of images, text and vocal messages;
(vi) verifying and controlling updates generated by said remote server to enable said device to execute files stored in memory;
(vii) executing files stored in memory upon receipt of an order from said server or initiation during vehicle motion by said device algorithm;
(viii) displaying a section of an updated itinerary when an update is received from said server;
(viii) actuating a vocal message and section display of said updated itinerary upon instruction as response to a query or initiated by said device algorithm;
(ix) displaying of the updated itinerary during absence of said satellite signal.

Abstract
A device for road and urban mobility and for solving the problem of traffic congestion, installed on a vehicle in order to make traffic flow more fluid in and between cities. The device consists of a set of five electronic modules, including a processor. The processor analyzes and extracts positional data of the equipped vehicle from a satellite signal and sends the requests of same for an exchange with a server, bi-directionally. The device is incorporated into an onboard housing. The present device is intended, in particular, to make the traffic flow more fluid and to communicate with a dedicated server in order to guide the driver of the equipped vehicle during his/her journey from a start point to the point entered into the device as the desired final destination. The present device reduces traffic congestion and pollution caused by greenhouse gas emissions.
