FIG. 1 shows an exemplary OBU containing a communication module 101, a data collection module 102, and a vehicle control module 103. The data collection module 102 collects data related to a vehicle and a human 104 and then sends it 104 to an RSU through communication module 101. Also, OBU can receive data of RSU 105 through communication module 101. Based on the data of RSU 105, the vehicle control module 103 helps control the vehicle.
FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary framework of a lane management sensing system and its data flow.
The RSU exchanges information between the vehicles and the road and communicates with TCUs, the information including weather information, road condition information, lane traffic information, vehicle information, and incident information.
FIG. 3 illustrates exemplary workflow of a basic prediction process of a lane management sensing system and its data flow. In some embodiments, fused multi-source data collected from vehicle sensors, roadside sensors and the cloud is processed through models including but not limited to learning based models, statistical models, and empirical models. Then predictions are made at different levels including microscopic, mesoscopic, and macroscopic levels using emerging models including learning based, statistic based, and empirical models.
