Title: Communicating data frames across communication networks that use incompatible network routing protocols
Inventor: Mark John Nixon
IPC: H04W84/22
Filed: 2012-09-14
Abstract: A communication method that seamlessly transmits internet protocol (IP) data frames, such as IPv6 data frames, with explicit destination routing over a communication network that uses a non-IP network routing protocol, i.e. a communication network that implements an implicit destination routing protocol other than, or that is incompatible with, an IP network routing protocol, such as the WirelessHART or Zigbee protocol. Implicit routing may involve routing using graph routing or using Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing. This enables, for example, field devices or other intelligent devices within a process plant network that use implicit destination/routing to perform messaging of IP data frames generated at, or to be received, by IP-enabled devices either within the process plant network or outside of the process plant network. The method does not affect or alter the normal communications within the non-IP communication network because the method uses the network routing structure of the non-IP network to transmit the IP frames within, i.e. encapsulated inside, the non-IP network, while preserving the IP network routing information of the IP data frames needed to subsequently route the messages in an IP-based communications network or to decode and use IP message data frames in an IP-enabled device.

Stop information 208 includes an indication of a number of items of, or quantity of, payload at each stop and can further include indications such as whether one or more particular capabilities of a vehicle required to transport one or more payload items at one or more stops. For example: a certain size; refrigeration; heating; ventilation; illumination and accessibility. Initially, the route identifier selects a vehicle for which a route is to be defined. The route identifier defines a route for the selected vehicle including an initial stop and the target stop. All routes have the target stop as the final stop in the route. The route identifier selects a candidate stop from the population of stops. The candidate stop is inserted between a pair of adjacent stops in the route and if certain criteria are met, the candidate stop is kept, otherwise it is inserted elsewhere. A genetic algorithm 218 is applied to the set of routes to adjust the routes in the set of routes.

IPC: H04W4/44
Filed: 2021-04-21
Abstract: Traffic control apparatus (e.g. intersection control agent 140) comprises a neural network architecture and trajectory conflict engine. The NN architecture determines priorities for connected vehicles 130-i at an intersection 100 by mapping an observation tensor containing kinematics data for vehicles in lanes 120 of the intersection to a priority tensor for the lanes. The trajectory conflict engine uses the priorities to determine timing data for occupation of crossing points that avoid vehicle collisions. The apparatus uses the timing data to instruct movement of vehicles across the junction. Alternatively, an intersection comprises a control agent comprising a neural network architecture to determine priorities for connected vehicles and a trajectory conflict engine to determine timing data there-from for occupation of crossing points wherein the agent communicates wirelessly with vehicles within its communications range. Alternatively, data comprising state transitions for an intersection is used to train a neural network architecture to predict a set of priorities for use by a traffic control system to control occupation of crossing points of the intersection that avoid collisions.
