Abstract:
A traffic monitoring system ( 400 ) includes a network of geographically distributed sensors ( 401 - 403 ). The sensors ( 401 - 403 ) provide raw or preprocessed data to a processing system ( 405 ) based on received long range wireless signals (e.g., 2.4 GHz, 5.8 GHz, or 5.9 GHz spectrum). The processing system ( 405 ) can then implement any of various algorithms to calculate traffic parameters taking into account the range of communication between the source and the sensor. The inputs to these algorithms include a first contacts, last contacts, maximum range, minimum range, median of contacts, average of contacts, maximum strength, and combinations thereof.

Claim (Index 19):
A system for monitoring vehicle traffic on a roadway network, the system comprising:\n a first sensor disposed within one or more roadway networks, wherein the first sensor is configured to detect the presence of a wireless signal within the roadway network, the first sensor comprising:\n a local processing engine, executable by a processor of the sensor, that is configured to monitor wireless signals associated with vehicles on the roadway network, the wireless signals including packetized data communications comprising a stream of data packets, the stream of data packets associated with signal strength information; and \n a client, executable by the processor of the sensor; \n a central processing server communicatively interconnected to the first sensor, the central processing server comprising:\n a sensor information engine, executable by a processor of the central processing server, that is configured to (1) receive first sensor information from a the first sensor, the first sensor information associated with a first source based on the packetized data communications, and (2) select at least a first data packet and a second data packet of the first sensor information based at least in part on the signal strength information; \n a traffic analysis engine, executable by the processor of the central processing server, that is configured to generate first traffic information by comparing the first and second data packets; and \n a first database, accessible by the processor of the central processing server, that is configured to store packetized data communications associated with the first source, \n wherein the client is operable to transmit the monitored packetized data communications to the central processing server.
