SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRACKING VEHICLES IN PARKING STRUCTURES AND INTERSECTIONS

摘要

A dynamic signal to noise ratio tracking system enables detection of vehicles within the field of view of the tracking system. The tracking system may include an emitter configured to emit electromagnetic radiation within an area, a detector configured to detect electromagnetic radiation reflected back from vehicles within the area, and a control unit configured to evaluate signals from the detector and control various automated devices as a result of this evaluation.

主权项

1. A vehicle traffic control system, comprising:
an emitter configured to emit electromagnetic radiation into a detection area; a detector configured to detect retro-reflected electromagnetic radiation resulting from retro-reflection of the emitted electromagnetic radiation from retro-reflective elements within the detection area; control circuitry communicatively coupled to the emitter and the detector, wherein the control circuitry is configured to monitor the retro-reflected electromagnetic radiation detected by the detector and evaluate information relating to one or more vehicles within a detection area based on the monitored retro-reflected electromagnetic radiation; and an automated device communicatively coupled to the control circuitry and configured to provide a user-perceivable indication relating to the one or more vehicles in the detection area, wherein the control circuitry is configured to cause the automated device to provide specific user-perceivable indications based on the evaluated information relating to the one or more vehicles.
