Abstract

This invention describes a method (System requirements for Car Movement Control System, 1-10) to improve traffic by coordinating the car movements. This algorithm can be implemented using an embedded software that runs on especial computerized device installed on a car. The car should have already been utilized with an “Adaptive cruise control system” (Computerized system that allows a car to move with a fixed speed and can adjust car speed to avoid collision when required) or “Automatic car navigation system” (Computerized system that allows a car move from source to destination automatically without driver intervention using GPS or road transponders).

Claims

1. ) “

System requirements for Car Movement Control System (1-10)”

describes a high level algorithm (or method) to coordinate car movement using wireless car to car communication and computerized device in roads/highways in order to reduce traffic when the chance of heavy traffic is high. This System Requirements (high level algorithm) can be implemented by a computerized device. This algorithm is based on “

Car to car wireless communication”

, “

Adaptive cruise control system”

or “

Automatic car navigation system”

technologies that pre-exist. “

Extra explanations for System requirements 1-10”

gives extra explanation for “

System requirements for Car Movement Control System (1-10)”

to clarify it more.

2. ) “

Methods of implementation”

(‘

A’ and

‘

B’

) and FIGS. 1 and 2, are high level requirements that describes how the algorithm in claim 1 can be implemented using “

Car to car wireless communication”

, “

Adaptive cruise control system”

or “

Automatic car navigation system”

technologies and using a new hardware/software module called “

Car Movement Control System”

.

3. ) “

How signals should be broadcasted”

describes a method that that is based on “

Car to car wireless communication”

to broadcast signals by leader car. Claims 1, 2 use this method for “

Car to car wireless communication”

.
