Drone-based traffic control and V2X enhancements

This invention describes a system where drones observe traffic conditions. If traffic needs managing, the drone decides to change a virtual traffic sign, like a stop sign or traffic light. It then sends a message to a nearby ground station, telling it the type and value of the virtual sign to adjust traffic flow.

Why it matters: Since 2021, V2X communication standards and drone autonomy have advanced, making real-time virtual sign adjustments and reliable data transmission more feasible. The integration of 5G and edge computing further supports the low-latency requirements for such a system.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, drone integration, V2X communication.
