SYSTEM FOR DETECTING VEHICLE TRAFFIC BY MEANS OF EXTENDED TEMPLATE COOPERATION PLATFORM BASED ON ADVANCED SAMPLE VEHICLE DATA

摘要

Described herein is a telematic apparatus (3), which can be installed on board a road vehicle (2) for detecting a set of vehicle information regarding the road traffic present around the road vehicle (2) itself, and is designed to transmit said vehicle information to a remote operating centre (4) that processes it in order to supply a set of indications regarding the condition of the road traffic; the telematic apparatus (3) comprising: a traffic-congestion detector module (11) for estimating, as a function of a set of vehicle parameters (Pi) correlated to a set of operating quantities of the road vehicle (2), a total-traffic index (IT) correlated to the likelihood of presence of a condition of traffic congestion around the road vehicle (2); and a control module (18), which verifies whether the total-traffic index (IT) satisfies a first relation with a pre-set threshold, and issues a command for transmission of the vehicle information to the remote operating centre (4) when said relation is satisfied.
