Modular radar device

A vehicle traffic sensor for detecting and monitoring vehicular targets is presented. The sensor employs a planar design resulting in a reduced profile sensor. The sensor includes a multi-layer radio frequency board with RF components on one of the sides and both isolation and planar array antennas on the opposing side. The antennas are preferably tapered planar array antennas which include one transmit antenna and one receive antenna. The sensor also includes at least one logic or signal processing board populated with components on a first side and a ground plane on a second side positioned toward the RF componentry of the RF board to form an RF shield. The boards are housed within a housing that is permeable, at least on the side through which the antenna structures propagate.

Vehicular traffic sensor

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for detecting targets across beams at roadway intersections. Embodiments of the invention include tracking a target across a plurality of beams of a multiple beam radar system in a roadway intersection and updating track files for targets within a roadway intersection. Returns from a plurality of radar beams monitoring a roadway intersection are divided into range bins. Identified energy in the range bins is used to compute the position of targets within a roadway intersection. When the position of a target is computed, it is determined if the position is a new position for an existing target or if the position is the position of a new target.

A regulatory compliance testing system permits a gaming machine (-) at a first location (-) to be tested for regulatory compliance with casino system software () located at a second location () in a different jurisdiction. A plurality of different casino systems () can be kept at the second location () and each is associated with one specific port (-) at the first location so that each different type or model of gaming machine (-) has its own home port (-). A secured VPN Layer 2 network (-) including multisystem isolation made possible by VLAN (-) tunnels connects both locations and permits seamless and secure connectivity as if the gaming machine (-) and its associated accounting software () were located at the same location. The system () permits three (3) basic modes of testing. First, the gaming machine (-) may be tested at the first location (-) by an engineer at the first location (-). Second, the gaming machine (-) may be tested by a person at the second location (). Third, a plurality of gaming machines (-) of the same type my be plugged into the same numbered port (-) at more than one locations and simultaneously tested from one or more different locations (-).

Intra-office regulatory compliance testing system

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for detecting targets in roadway intersections. Transmit antennas transmit signals into a roadway intersection. Receive antennas receive corresponding signal reflections off objects in the roadway. The reflections correspond to two dimensional image data for the roadway intersection. The reflections are conditioned for compatibility with a processor. The processor processes the condition reflections into a two dimensional image of targets in the roadway intersection.

Detecting targets in roadway intersections

The present invention extends to detecting targets in roadway intersections. A traffic sensor includes a transducer system and a transceiver system. The transducer system creates a plurality of transducer views for detecting targets located in a portion of the intersection. The transducer system includes a transducer configured to transmit signals towards and to receive signals and signal reflections within a portion of the two or more approaches to the intersection. The transducer is configured such that when necessary the transducer can transmit a signal and receive a signal or signal reflection simultaneously. The transceiver system is configured to generate digital data indicative of the transducer receiving a signal or signal reflection. The transducer system and transceiver system interoperate to generate an aggregate sensor view of the intersection that includes a plurality of transducer views of the two or more approaches to the intersection.

The present invention extends to configuring detection zones in a traffic monitoring system and to association of detection zones with corresponding traffic signal phases. One or more sensors detect targets within a roadway intersection. The sensors integrate acquired sensor data for the targets into track files. The track files are subsequently used to identify common target paths. A histogram is used to identify common target positions for stationary targets. From the common target positions and the common target paths detection zones are configured. Detection zones are associated with traffic signal phases so that specific detections can be created. Lane boundaries within the roadway intersection are inferred from the common target paths. Permanent stationary target locations are identified from the common target positions.

Systems and methods for configuring intersection detection zones

Systems and methods for measuring the speed and/or direction of a target such as a vehicle in a field of view. The speed of a vehicle is measured using distance measurements, phase measurements, or Doppler shift measurements using a single transducer side fire configured sensor. The speed of a vehicle can be measured using laterally spaced transducers in a side fire or off angle configuration and using a single transducer sensor in a forward fire configuration.
