Abstract:
An augmented reality visualization framework for precision traffic analysis combines traffic data with content representative of physical-world characteristics, such as conditions in an intersection or roadway in which traffic activity occurs, and images of the intersection and roadway itself. The framework includes a visualization platform that enables display of the combined traffic data and content representing physical-world characteristics, and continual augmentations of such information in response to adjustments directed by users or automatically detected from actions such as user movement, other user manipulation, or movement of the visualization platform itself. The framework enables traffic applications such that a user can, when the platform is interfaced with intersection or roadway equipment, adjust machine activity or signal timing based upon the visualizations or data presented via the visualization platform. The visualization platform may also be configured to present the traffic data, and the content representative of physical-world characteristics, in a virtual reality setting.

Claim (Index 1):
A method, comprising:\n capturing input data representing a physical-world characteristic relative to a transportation environment that includes at least one of an intersection, a roadway, and conditions in the transportation environment where traffic activity occurs, the input data including at least one of a video image, a video stream, or a map of the physical-world characteristic; rendering the input data on a visualization platform for display of the at least one of a video image, a video stream, or a map of the physical-world characteristic; detecting a geographical position, and one or more of a movement, tilt or a change in direction of the visualization platform; requesting traffic data for the physical-world characteristic based on the geographical position and the one or more of a movement, tilt or a change in direction of the visualization platform; blending the input data and traffic data by overlaying the traffic data onto the at least one of a video image, a video stream, or a map of the physical-world characteristic to augment the input data with the traffic data on the visualization platform; and continually augmenting the input data by modifying the traffic data based on additional input generated by user manipulation of the visualization platform, to generate an augmented reality visualization of the physical-world characteristic; and initiating one or more responsive actions from the augmented reality visualization of the physical-world characteristic, the one or more responsive actions including at least one of modification of traffic data detection, and an adjustment of a traffic signal timing.
