REAL-TIME POLLUTION CONTROL AT A TRAFFIC JUNCTION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for real-time pollution control at a traffic junction by a processor, comprising:
- determining a pollution level at the traffic junction according to a combination of weather, traffic volume, traffic type, pollution measurements, and topology;
determining a traffic volume threshold for the traffic junction assured to maintain the pollution level below a pollution threshold while simultaneously being equal or less than a known capacity of the traffic junction; and
setting one or more parameters of the traffic junction to maintain traffic volume below the traffic volume threshold.

Abstract
A system and method for real-time pollution control at a traffic junction are presented. A pollution level may be determined at the traffic junction according to weather, traffic volume, traffic type, pollution measurements, topology, or a combination thereof. A traffic volume threshold may be determined for the traffic junction to maintain the pollution level below a pollution threshold. One or more parameters of the traffic junction may be set to maintain traffic volume below the traffic volume threshold.

15. A computer program product for, by a processor, real-time pollution control at a traffic junction, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
-
an executable portion that determines a pollution level at the traffic junction according to a combination of weather, traffic volume, traffic type, pollution measurements, and topology; an executable portion that determines a traffic volume threshold for the traffic junction assured to maintain the pollution level below a pollution threshold while simultaneously being equal or less than a known capacity of the traffic junction; and an executable portion that sets one or more parameters of the traffic junction to maintain traffic volume below the traffic volume threshold. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
