7411 results about "Traffic flow" patented technology

In mathematics and transportation engineering, traffic flow is the study of interactions between travellers (including pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and their vehicles) and infrastructure (including highways, signage, and traffic control devices), with the aim of understanding and developing an optimal transport network with efficient movement of traffic and minimal traffic congestion problems.

System and method for optimizing network capacity in a cellular wireless network

A system and method is disclosed for increasing the efficiency of a cellular communication network, reduce ongoing operating costs and increase revenue. According to one aspect, a method is disclosed for increasing the efficiency of a cellular communication network whereby network capacity in the radio access network (RAN) and baseband processing for wireless connections are dynamically adjusted to automatically provision sufficient bandwidth and baseband processing capacity in response to changes in the network. The method is further extended by implementing policy management which allows wireless carriers to develop and implement network based policies to automatically increase or decrease the amount of processing resources and network bandwidth required from any cell site, hub or mobile switching office. According to another aspect, network efficiency is enhanced by utilizing a novel cellular network infrastructure. RF signals from cell site antennas of various technology types are demodulated, digital bit information is extracted from the RF signals, processed, and groomed into Gigabit Ethernet/Resilient Packet Ring (GigE/RPR) or Ethernet over copper traffic flows using specific Quality of Service (QoS) priorities. The GigE/RPR traffic flows are routed to hub sites or mobile switching offices, at which point the packetized information is extracted and converted to RF signals that are equivalent to the signals that were received at the antenna. The RF signals are sent over coaxial cable to a network hub including a pool of Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs) (or Node Bs). The hub is coupled to one or more mobile switching offices via a second fiber optic ring.

Cross stack rapid transition protocol

A cross stack rapid transition protocol is provided for permitting multiple network devices organized as a stack to rapidly transition their ports in response to network changes so as to minimize traffic flow disruptions while avoiding loops. Each switch in the stack has a stack port that connects the switch to another switch in the stack, and a plurality of ports for connecting the switch to other entities of the computer network. Each switch includes a Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) entity that transitions the ports of the switch among a plurality of states including a forwarding state and a blocking state. Each switch also tracks which other switches are members of the switch stack. The stack port of each switch is transitioned to the forwarding state, and a single switch having connectivity to a root is elected to be a Stack Root. One or more other switches may have Alternate Stack Root Ports, that provide alternate paths to the root. If the current Stack Root loses connectivity to the root, the switch whose Alternate Stack Root Port represents the next best path to the root issues one or more proposal messages to the other members of the switch stack. These other members respond with an Acknowledgement, and the former Stack Root transitions its port to the blocking state. Once the proposing switch receives an Acknowledgment from all other active members of the switch stack, it transitions its Alternate Stack Root Port to the forwarding state so that network messages can be forwarded to and from switch stack.

Dynamic Network Identity and Policy management

Network policies are managed based at least in-part on user / entity identity information with: a state monitor operable to monitor for state change events in user / entity state and related, network state or in traffic pattern and traffic flow state; an identity manager operable to obtain and validate user credentials; and a policy manager operable in response to a state change event detected by the state monitor (either the identity manager or a defense center) to select a policy based in-part on the user identity obtained by the identity manager or security context obtained by the defense center, and to prompt application of the selected policy. The policies are indicative of user / device authorization entitlements and restrictions to utilization of certain network resources, network services or applications. Dynamic policy selection and targeted responses can be used, for example, against a user who gains network access with stolen user ID and password, and subsequently attempts malicious behavior. In particular, the malicious behavior is detected and identified, and the malicious user can then be restricted from abusing network resources without adversely affecting other users, groups, network devices, and other network services.

Method and apparatus for dynamic proxy insertion in network traffic flow

In embodiments of the invention, a method and apparatus for dynamic proxy insertion in network traffic path is described. According to one or more embodiments of the invention, a request and / or response message may be modified to include one or more thru-proxy tags to identify a network (or traffic) node (e.g., a proxy, server, or intermediary). For example, a request directed to a server or a response directed to a client may be altered to insert a plurality of intermediate or final destination designations. In so doing, a path of a request or response may be altered dynamically. A thru-proxy tag in a response may be inserted in a related request to identify a destination or node such that the request is sent to the destination in the thru-proxy tag before being sent to an origin server. Thru-proxy tags may be used to identify multiple and / or alternate destinations.

Apparatus and method for processing and displaying traffic information in an automotive navigation system

A vehicle navigation system for use with a traffic information broadcast system which transmits traffic data relating to primary road segments and a communication system which transmits traffic data relating to road segments in a local geographic area. A broadcast receiver receives the broadcast traffic data from the broadcast system and stores the received data. A communication transmitter, when activated, transmits a data request to the communication system. A communication receiver receives the local traffic data from the communication system in response to the data request while a processor displays traffic information on a display screen corresponding to the received broadcast traffic data and the received local traffic data. The local traffic data includes both traffic information relating to local road segments as well as non-traffic temporal events, such as weather, and time-related events which affect traffic flow. A database of historic traffic flow for the road segments is periodically updated to reflect new traffic data.

Traffic prediction method based on attention temporal graph convolutional network

The invention belongs to the field of intelligent transportation, and discloses a traffic prediction method based on an attention temporal graph convolutional network. The method includes the following steps that: firstly, an urban road network is modeled as a graph structure, nodes of the graph represent road sections, edges are connection relationships between the road sections, and the time series of each road section is described as attribute characteristics of the nodes; secondly, the temporal and spatial characteristics of the traffic flow are captured by using an attention temporal graph convolutional network model, the temporal variation trend of the traffic flow on urban roads is learned by using gated cycle units to capture the time dependence, and the global temporal variation trend of the traffic flow is learned by using an attention mechanism; and then, the traffic flow state at different times on each road section is obtained by using a fully connected layer; and finally,different evaluation indexes are used to estimate the difference between the real value and the predicted value of the traffic flow on the urban roads and further estimate the prediction ability of the model. Experiments prove that the method provided by the invention can effectively realize tasks of predicting the traffic flow on the urban roads.
