119 Sensys Networks has announced the award of patent number 7,739,000 entitled “Method and Apparatus Reporting a Vehicular Sensor Waveform in a Wireless Vehicular Sensor Network.”

This patent, the sixth for the company, enhances the reporting functionality of data transmitted over a wireless vehicular network - specifically providing a high level of precision in determining individual detection events - as opposed to aggregated data. The enhancement allows the precise reporting of detection information for vehicle presence, speed detection, vehicle re-identification and classification, used in a broad range of transportation applications including freeway and arterial count stations, ramp metering, traffic signal control, red-light enforcement, and light-rail detection.

“This patent rounds out our fundamental patents in low-power technology for wireless vehicle detection, and provides us a basis for advanced work in speed detection and vehicle re-identification, over a wireless link,” says Dr. Robert Kavaler, senior VP at Sensys Networks. “We are constantly striving to enhance our performance and become the industry standard for detection in all transportation applications.”

The steep increases in traffic volumes predicted back in the early 1990s have unfortunately been proven to be more than accurate. In Germany, the AKTIV project continues to look into cooperative technologies' potential to reduce the impact of those increased traffic volumes and keep traffic moving despite limitations in infrastructure capacity.
