SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EVIDENTIAL REASONING FOR TRANSPORTATION SCENARIOS
First Claim
1. A traffic monitoring system, comprising:
- a programmable device;
at least one camera in communication with the programmable device, the camera directed towards at least one road and configured to provide a camera signal to the programmable device, wherein the programmable device includes a first program for tracking vehicles; and
a map of an area that includes the road, wherein the map is stored in a memory of the programmable device and wherein a plurality of traffic influences are defined in the map;
wherein the first program recognizes at least one obstruction and communicates with the map to identify at least one of the traffic influences behind the obstruction.

Abstract
The system contains a programmable device. At least one camera is in communication with the programmable device. The camera is directed towards at least one road. The camera provides a camera signal to the programmable device. A map of an area, which includes the road, is stored in a memory of the programmable device. A plurality of traffic influences is defined in the map. A first program on the programmable device tracks vehicles on the road utilizing the camera signal. The first program recognizes at least one obstruction and communicates with the map to identify at least one of the traffic influences behind the obstruction.
