US Patent:

20080114530, May 15, 2008
Filed:

Oct 26, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/977928
Inventors:

Gregory Petrisor - Los Angeles CA, US
Ryan Perdue - Venice CA, US
William Elkington - Cedar Rapids IA, US
International Classification:

G08G 1/00
US Classification:

701117000
Abstract:

A thin client intelligent transportation system wherein geospatial roadmaps and map matching systems are maintained in roadside nodes and are more fully exploited. The thin client approach offers significant advantages over thick client approaches that rely on on-vehicle maps and map matching systems, including reduced complexity of on-board equipment and elimination of map integrity issues. The thin client approach also offers significant advantages over systems wherein the vehicle is required to access maps and map matching systems in real-time from a remote data center, including the ability to meet the low latency requirements for many vehicle safety applications. The present invention in some embodiments has added advantages in that it exploits roadside maps and map matching systems in revenue generating applications that are not directly related to passenger safety.

US Patent:

6580981, Jun 17, 2003
Filed:

Apr 16, 2002
Appl. No.:

10/122375
Inventors:

William C. Elkington - Orlando FL
Assignee:

MeshNetworks, Inc. - Maitland FL
International Classification:

G08G 113
US Classification:

701 29, 701 96, 3404255
Abstract:

A system and method for sending and receiving messages, such as status or request-for-help messages, automatically between mobile nodes and ultimately to an appropriate destination via a wireless infrastructure. When a node determines that such infrastructure is not available, the node will communicate the necessary information to another mobile node located in, for instance, a vehicle. In this case, the receiving node stores the information, then transmits the information from that node to the wireless infrastructure equipment, so that the infrastructure can forward the message to an appropriate destination once such equipment is in range of this second node.
