Filed:

Dec 20, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/745264

Inventors:

Jerome H. Lemelson - late of Incline Village NV
Robert D. Pedersen - Dallas TX 75248
Steven R. Pedersen - Dallas TX 75248

International Classification:

G01S 1378

US Classification:

342 45, 706 52

Abstract:

A friend or foe detection system and method is disclosed. Friend or foe warning unit has a geographic locating system, a communication system for communicating with each of the warning units, and a military force detection system for detecting military forces in a combat area and has a signal routing and control circuitry for controlling operations. A number of components, devices, or sub-systems, such as a transmitter/receiver radio , an antenna , a microphone , a speaker , a battery , a display , a microprocessor , a memory , a camera , a radar/lidar input , on/off switch , a GPS location system that includes a GPS processor , a GPS receiver , a GPS antenna , are coupled to the circuitry. Display provides a display to the user of the unit and shows the location of friendly forces as well as unfriendly or unidentified forces in the area. Display displays text messages for the user of the warning unit.

International Classification:

G08G 107

US Classification:

340909, 340910, 340905, 340906, 340914, 340917

Abstract:

A system and method for controlling traffic and traffic lights and selectively distributing warning messages to motorists includes a controller to determine appropriate action based on traffic congestion parameters. Fuzzy logic is used to determine optimum traffic light phase split based on the traffic information from the traffic information units. Global Positioning System technology is used by the system and method in order to track moving vehicles and signs and be able to communicate with them.

International Classification:

G08G 107

US Classification:

340910

Abstract:

A system and method for controlling traffic and traffic lights and selectively distributing warning messages to motorists is described. Traffic information is obtained from various traffic information units. The traffic information units have intelligent controllers. The traffic information is transmitted to at least one central controller. The central controller is used to determine congestion parameters and warning information. The congestion parameters and the warning information are transmitted from the central controller to the intelligent controllers. The intelligent controllers are used to determine appropriate action based on the congestion parameters and the warning information. Fuzzy logic is used to determine optimum traffic light phase split based on the traffic information from the traffic information units. The optimum traffic light phase split is determined for each of the intelligent controllers.
