- the composite index can take:
- the data from a motor vehicle may for example include meteorological data associated with the motor vehicle, such as information relating to the operation of the windshield wipers, or information relating to the ambient temperature around the vehicle.
- Data from a motor vehicle has the advantage that, the motor vehicle moving over time, it can provide information relating to the weather and traffic at different places and at different times course of time.
- the traffic data or the meteorological data provided by the motor vehicle can be associated with the location of the roadside system 26, for example if this data comprises a location data of the vehicle automobile or of the location of acquisition of the data, and that the server 22 has location data of the roadside system 26.
- the composite index can be associated with the location of a system of roadside 26, or can be associated with a predefined geographical region, for example around the roadside system 26.
- Communication between roadside system 26 and remote server 22 may also relate to maintenance of the roadside system.
- the latter communicates to the server 22 information relating to its operation, technical faults (battery, photovoltaic panel, etc.) or alerts.
- the server 22 can also communicate to the roadside systems 26 information or updates.
- the composite index determined by the server 22 is a forecast.
- the server 22 takes as input one or more of the data mentioned above above, and determines a parameter representative of a future state of circulation from a predetermined rule. The existence of a forecast necessitates taking into account the time factor for the determination of the composite predictive index.
- the function f can determine a high traffic congestion risk at the location of the roadside system at time t+At.
- the function f can also take time t as a parameter. So, for example, in the previous example, the function f can determine a high traffic congestion risk at the roadside system location for time t+At only if t is within a particular time range [t A; t B].
- server 22 may further determine a forecast from other data, as listed above, such as data from another roadside system, data from from a meteorological server and/or data from motor vehicles.
- the server 22 determines a probability of traffic congestion downstream of a roadside system 26 from detections showing that the instantaneous speed of motor vehicles at the level of the roadside system 26 tends to decrease, the density of traffic detected by roadside systems 26 upstream, along the half-road, increases, the temperature at the level of the roadside system decreases towards zero, it is eight o'clock in the morning and a weather server reports precipitation ten kilometers west of the Highway 26 edge system in question.
- the server 22 can communicate to the roadside system 26 the identified composite index corresponding to the data detected by the roadside system in question. For example, if the roadside system 26 is provided with operable signaling means, as in the example of FIG. 4 above, these actuable signaling means are actuated according to the composite index received.
- the server 22 can communicate information determined from the composite index to several roadside systems 26. This will be the case, for example, if these belong to a predetermined road object. If, for example, the server 22 determines a risk in a road section, information can be sent to one or more roadside systems 26 upstream of this section.
- This arrangement is particularly suitable for signaling devices which are associated with the same road event: typically, an announcement signaling device which warns the road user of the imminence of a road event, then a signage at the site of the actual road incident. These two signaling devices are typically spaced apart, along a road, between 50 meters and 300 meters.
- a processor 11 of a roadside system 26a is adapted to determine a composite index of the meteorological quantity and of the road traffic on the basis, in addition, of data relating to the meteorological quantity and/or of the road traffic coming from a another neighboring roadside system 26b, the identity of which is known by the roadside system 26a, even the relative location, even several of these neighboring roadside systems 26b.
- a composite index of the meteorological magnitude and road traffic can be determined locally from data coming from a limited number of roadside systems.
- the roadside system 26 is adapted to communicate directly with a vehicle 29 passing nearby. This requires that the communication system 16 be adapted to communicate with the communication module 30 of the vehicle. If the vehicle communicates information to the roadside system 26, this information can be used as information relating to road traffic. This information may include a vehicle identifier, instantaneous information relating to the vehicle and/or its occupants, such as for example an instantaneous speed determined by the on-board recorder, a destination entered in a navigation device of the vehicle, a provenance, a number of occupants, etc., but also information relating to the weather, such as for example temperature or rain detection data recorded by the on-board computer.
- the roadside system 26 communicates information to the vehicle, this may at least include information relating to traffic, such as for example a number of vehicles having recently passed through the roadside system, and /or meteorology. Whether received from the roadside system 26 or from the server 22, this information can be used by the vehicle's on-board computer for driving assistance, or even for driving an autonomous vehicle.
- the composite index is an index representing a condition of the road, in particular a state of wear of the road.
- the condition of the road can be related to weather or traffic.
- the server 22 can be adapted to determine an index representative of the condition of the road according to the traffic and the meteorological conditions on this road. This determination can be implemented to predict the need for road maintenance operations.
- the server 22 implements a method for diagnosing data from a roadside system 26 based on data from another or other roadside systems 26, in particular neighbors.
- the data coming from a roadside system 26 are compared with data coming from at least two roadside systems 26 to determine an index of confidence in the roadside system 26 in question. If data from roadside system 26 is far from data from neighboring roadside systems 26 (for example, detection of light traffic while neighboring roadside systems, along the same half -route, detect sustained traffic, and/or inconsistency of meteorological data), these data may not be taken into consideration by the server 22 for determining the composite index.
- a maintenance operation of the roadside system can be decided, or at least a notification to a manager.
