Patent ID: 8736461

Claim:
A control method of a traffic sign by utilizing a vehicular network, applicable to an intersection, the method comprising: a passing rate calculating step, calculating a passing rate according to a driving parameter; a vehicular movement type determining step, determining a vehicular movement type of a lane at the intersection according to the driving parameter; and a signal determining step, determining next signal according to the passing rate and the vehicular movement type; wherein, the driving parameter further comprises an average acceleration speed value of n vehicles expected to pass the intersection where n is a positive integer larger than 0, a distance between the vehicles and a center point of the intersection, a turning message, or a response time where the turning message is a message regarding the vehicles passing the intersection non-straight and the response time means average time from a standstill to moving for the vehicles; the intersection has i sections and j lanes where i is a positive integer larger than 0 and j is a positive integer larger than 0; an expected passing time t ij is time for a vehicle of the j th lane in the i th section passing through the intersection; and a passing rate r ij is a ratio of the number of vehicles of the j th lane in the i th section passing within the expected passing time t ij to the expected passing time t ij ; and the passing rate calculating step further comprises: acquiring a minimum accelerate speed value a min according to the average acceleration speed value of the n vehicles; calculating a moving time t of the n vehicles according to where the last one of the n vehicles is positioned, where the center point is positioned and the minimum accelerate speed value a min ; and calculating the expected passing time t ij according to the moving time and the response time of the n vehicles, if the n vehicles are a standstill; calculating the expected passing time t ij according to the moving time t, if the n vehicles are not a standstill.
