Traffic lane management system
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A management system for a traffic lane, comprising:
- a user interface; and
a control system communicatively coupled with the user interface, wherein the control system dynamically predicts future vehicle density in the traffic lane and in response to a request input by a user on the user interface offers to the user via the user interface a time slot for a vehicle to enter the traffic lane selected by the control system independent of any time requested by the user and based at least in port on a current prediction of future vehicle density in the traffic lane.

Abstract
A management system for a traffic lane achieves congestion management objectives by dynamically predicting future vehicle density in a traffic lane and assigning to a requesting user a time slot for entering the traffic lane selected independent of any user requested time and based at least in part on a current prediction about future vehicle density in the traffic lane. The current prediction is based at least in part on predicted trajectories of vehicles, which are determined in turn based at least in part on actual trajectories of vehicles.

18. A method for management of a traffic lane, comprising the steps of:
-
dynamically predicting future vehicle density in the traffic lane; assigning in response to a request made by a user a time slot for a vehicle to enter the traffic lane selected independent of any time requested by the user and based at least in part on a current prediction of future vehicle density in the traffic lane; and offering the time slot to the user. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
