Intelligent vehicle technologies

Intelligent Vehicle Technologies telematics comprise electronic, electromechanical, and electromagnetic devices - usually silicon micromachined components operating in conjunction with computer controlled devices and radio transceivers to provide precision repeatability functions (such as in robotics artificial intelligence systems) emergency warning validation performance reconstruction.

Intelligent vehicle technologies commonly apply to car safety systems and self-contained autonomous electromechanical sensors generating warnings that can be transmitted within a specified targeted area of interest, say within 100 meters of the emergency warning system for vehicles transceiver. In ground applications, intelligent vehicle technologies are utilized for safety and commercial communications between vehicles or between a vehicle and a sensor along the road.

Intelligent vehicle technologies provide instantaneous on the road information to the motorist who wishes to map a route to a specific destination and expects the system to assist in determining the best course of travel. The information provided by the in-vehicle system updates approximately every minute (depending on the speed of the vehicle) all the transmitter beacon information self-recorded by the vehicle while traveling on the road. That is, all vehicles traveling on the highway update such information to the local mile markers via DSRC telematics. The mile markers in turn communicate with the regional monitoring station and upload data so as to populate statistical bar graph trend of traffic flow progression. The information further made available for access to the date collected by the system established data exchange format through standard Internet protocol IP address communications links.

Total system intelligence means total accountability of every motorized vehicle traveling on the road. Therefore, Intelligent Vehicle Technologies takes into account gathered beacon information from every vehicle traveling on the road. The vehicle itself provides that information gathered from the road to determine lane specific vehicle usage and to further provide for remote communications of virtual lane closures (in-vehicle notification warning) to the vehicle such as for construction zones, emergency scenarios, etc. as the need arises.

Intelligent vehicle technologies and systems are designed for intelligent beacon information assistance to the autonomous robotic vehicle and provide for guidance, safety, and convenience in vehicle travel. Intelligent Beacon Systems are special non-destructive RFID passive transceivers embedded into the road in the center of each lane every three meters provide for total accountability of all vehicles (regardless of size) traveling on the road.

Intelligent vehicle technologies target transmission capable beacons provide for information signal data that are employed infrastructure to vehicle and vehicle to vehicle for exclusive precision remote communications to the specific one vehicle traveling in a given lane on the highway, for example – or a convoy of vehicles in a given travel lane, or multiple vehicles traveling in all affected lanes. All lanes are beacon tagged so as the vehicle travels down the road the ground beacon maintains communication with the vehicle for that particular lane – so it is therefore possible for example, for law enforcement to direct and provide for specific in-vehicle aural and/or visual information to a target vehicle traveling in a given lane (or multiple vehicle in multiple lanes as desired).

Vehicles traveling in the vicinity of an accident scenario, for example, are simultaneously queried by the in-vehicle police intelligent beacon system computer which repeatedly updates and processes all dynamic passing vehicle data received, identifying and classifying all passing vehicles in real-time – for example, an aural visual command instruction is sent to all the in-vehicle emergency warning beacon system computers as a reminder that no rubbernecking, for example, or viewing of the accident is permitted and vehicles are instructed to safely maintain a given speed limit. Ease of managing, operating, and reducing traffic congestion of the transportation system is therefore achieved.

An operational example of the system is given where a motorist traveling on the center lane of highway, RFID CODE-ID-LN-2-W80-MM37.77-beacon001877649) on Interstate Route 80 westbound is directed by the officer (from his vehicle via Telematics) to pull over to the right shoulder -- information displayed on the instrument panel indicates an expired registration of the vehicle. How does [Intelligent Vehicle Technologies] system operate? Through the application of in-vehicle beacon transceiver, and the RFID transmitters installed throughout the surface of the road that are similar to light reflector tags currently mounted on the surface of the road infrastructure. In conjunction with the vehicle in close proximity to the intelligent beacon radio frequency identification tag the system detects the vehicle's position, serial number, make, model, color, unit identification, and orientation (identification, serial number and attributes of the vehicle are stored in the in-vehicle computer permanent memory portion of the system. Anonymous pseudorandom computer real-time information data is constantly updated, self-recorded, then uploaded to the telematics mile marker by the vehicle’s transceiver so as to maintain real-time on-command intra-vehicle communication operations on the spot anywhere. No in-vehicle beacon information system, no operation of a motor vehicle.
