Electrical data processing system for monitoring or affecting movement of a vehicle using a traffic device
Systems and methods are disclosed for monitoring or affecting movement of a vehicle using a traffic device. An event data source may have a processor and/or a transceiver. The event data source may transmit, via the transceiver and to a vehicle and infrastructure computing device, information indicative of an event affecting a portion of road. The vehicle and infrastructure computing device may comprise a vehicle and infrastructure control computer. The vehicle and infrastructure computing device may receive, from the event data source, the information indicative of the event affecting the portion of road. The computing device may determine one or more traffic devices associated with the portion of road and configured to control traffic for the portion of road. Based on the information indicative of the event affecting the portion of road, the computing device may send, to the one or more traffic devices associated with the portion of road, instructions to change one or more characteristics of the one or more traffic devices.
1. A system comprising
a first computing device configured to:
send, via a transceiver, data indicative of one or more traffic conditions associated with an intersection of one or more roads, the data deriving from a traffic device fixed proximate to the intersection; and

receive, from the first computing device, the data indicative of the one or more traffic conditions associated with the intersection;
calculate, based on the data, a risk score for the intersection;
determine, based on the risk score, a modified operating condition;
determine one or more vehicles within a predetermined distance of the intersection; and
transmit, to one or more computing device associated with the one or more vehicles, data associated with the modified operating condition,
wherein the modified operating condition is at least one of:
a recommendation regarding a driving action to be taken by one of the one or more vehicles, the recommendation being based on an intersection path risk map that is generated based on the risk score;
an instruction to turn right at the intersection, turn left at the intersection, go straight at the intersection, or execute a U-turn before the intersection;
an indicia received at the one or more vehicles to not to drive through the intersection and the modified operating condition includes an instruction to increase an insurance premium in response the one or more vehicles drive through the intersection after receiving the indicia; or
an instruction that the one or more vehicles change a driving route to avoid the intersection.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the risk score for the intersection is calculated based on one or more factors selected from the group consisting of a complexity of the intersection, a number of accidents historically occurring at the intersection, weather at the intersection, and a degree of traffic congestion at the intersection.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second computing device configured to:
determine whether the one or more vehicles are autonomous vehicles and whether the intersection does not permit the autonomous vehicles, thereby generating determinations regarding the autonomous vehicles, and
calculate the risk score for the intersection based on the determinations regarding the autonomous vehicles.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein, when the determinations regarding the autonomous vehicles is that the one or more vehicles are autonomous vehicles and the intersection does not permit the autonomous vehicles, the modified operating condition comprises an instruction to deactivate autonomous-vehicle features while traversing the intersection.
5. A computing device comprising:
a transceiver;
one or more processors; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the computing device to:
receive, from a second computing device, data indicative of one or more traffic conditions associated with an intersection of one or more roads, the data deriving from a traffic device fixed proximate to the intersection;
calculate, based on the data, a risk score for the intersection;
determine, based on the risk score, a modified operating condition;
determine one or more vehicles within a predetermined distance of the intersection; and
transmit, to one or more computing devices associated with the one or more vehicles, data associated with the modified operating condition,
wherein the modified operating condition is at least one of:
a recommendation regarding a driving action to be taken by one of the one or more vehicles, the recommendation being based on an intersection path risk map that is generated based on the risk score;
an instruction to turn right at the intersection, turn left at the intersection, go straight at the intersection, or execute a U-turn before the intersection;
an indicia received at the one or more vehicles to not to drive through the intersection and the modified operating condition includes an instruction to increase an insurance premium in response the one or more vehicles drive through the intersection after receiving the indicia; or
an instruction that the one or more vehicles change a driving route to avoid the intersection.
6. The computing device of claim 5 , wherein the risk score for the intersection is calculated based on one or more factors selected from the group consisting of a complexity of the intersection, a number of accidents historically occurring at the intersection, weather at the intersection, and a degree of traffic congestion at the intersection.
7. The computing device of claim 5 , wherein the second computing device configured to:
determine whether the one or more vehicles are autonomous vehicles and whether the intersection does not permit the autonomous vehicles, thereby generating determinations regarding the autonomous vehicles, and
calculate the risk score for the intersection based on the determinations regarding the autonomous vehicles.
8. The computing device of claim 7 , wherein, when the determinations regarding the autonomous vehicles is that the one or more vehicles are autonomous vehicles and the intersection does not permit the autonomous vehicles, the modified operating condition comprises an instruction to deactivate autonomous-vehicle features while traversing the intersection.
9. A method comprising:
receiving, at a second computing device, data sent from a transceiver of a first computing device, the data indicating one or more traffic conditions associated with an intersection of one or more roads, the data deriving from a traffic device fixed proximate to the intersection;
calculating, based on the data, a risk score for the intersection;
determining, based on the risk score, a modified operating condition;
determining one or more vehicles within a predetermined distance of the intersection; and
transmitting, to one or more computing devices associated with the one or more vehicles, data associated with the modified operating condition,
wherein the modified operating condition is at least one of:
a recommendation regarding a driving action to be taken by one of the one or more vehicles, the recommendation being based on an intersection path risk map that is generated based on the risk score;
an instruction to turn right at the intersection, turn left at the intersection, go straight at the intersection, or execute a U-turn before the intersection;
an indicia received at the one or more vehicles to not to drive through the intersection and the modified operating condition includes an instruction to increase an insurance premium in response the one or more vehicles drive through the intersection after receiving the indicia; and
an instruction that the one or more vehicles change a driving route to avoid the intersection.
10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
