A transportation system for identifying an object using a short range radar at a transportation gate. The transportation system includes one or more short range radars and a cloud server. The radars detect the object within a predetermined distance from the transportation gate and sense the object to generate a point cloud. An identification of the object is determined based on sensed data of the object using a machine learning algorithm from the cloud server. The identification is determined based on matching the point cloud with a plurality of profiles. The plurality of profiles includes matching information for a plurality of predetermined objects. The object is selected from the plurality of predetermined objects using the matching information. An authorization for the object is determined using another machine learning algorithm. Based on the authorization, either the passage through the transportation gate is authorized or the object is flagged as unauthorized.

A transit system including an access control point, a positioning system, a tracking system, and a server. The access control point provides a passage to a transit user for taking a trip through the transit system. The server receives a first location and visual cues of the transit user. The first location is determined using the positioning system and a mobile device. Candidate locations and visual cues of other transit users are obtained from the tracking system. The server correlates the first location to a candidate location and compares the visual cues of the transit user with the other transit users. A correlated location is determined and the first location and the visual cues of the transit user are verified. The server verifies terms of a transit pass of the transit user. Based on the verification, usage of the transit pass is allowed for passing through the access control point.
A method of determining real-time tax and/or subsidy information includes obtaining, from an operator, trip-related information regarding a trip and determining a target objective associated with trip routing at a time of receipt of the trip- related information. The method includes obtaining additional information from one or more additional data sources based on the target objective and the trip-related information, determining, based on the trip-related information and the additional information, a tax or subsidy associated with the trip, and providing information indicative of the tax or subsidy to the operator.
This disclosure describes a compact and lightweight rifle scope display adapter configured to be affixed in front of the objective lens of a rifle scope. The display adapter includes a receptacle that enables the adapter to be electrically connected to a ballistic computer, rangefinder or other targeting mechanism. The display adapter is configured to receive aimpoint information and project illuminated symbology that is brought into focus by the rifle scope optics in such a way that the symbology appears to overlay an image of a scene on which the rifle scope is focused. The adapter includes a mounting assembly that provides two attachment mechanisms. A first ring of the RDA can be screwed into the threads on the interior surface of the scope. Additionally, the scope can be inserted into a second ring of the RDA and provides compressive, radial pressure against the outside surface of the scope.

WIRELESS VEHICLE DETECTOR AGGREGATOR AND INTERFACE TO CONTROLLER AND ASSOCIATED METHODS
Embodiments of systems and methods of the present invention include efficient, reliable aggregation and transfer of one or more sensor pods detect status to the base station and then the traffic controller. An embodiment of an access point maintains a sensor state anay, which is the current status of the sensor pods in eomniimicanon with the access point. The access point can maintain the sensor state anay in its memory and relay the sensor state array to the base station. An embodiment of a base station can use the sensor state anay infomiation to generate and update a vehicle detector array, which is the current status of all the sensor pods in the wireless vehicle defector network. An embodiment of the base station emulates one or more bus interface units and uses the vehicle detector array to relay detector information to the traffic controller periodically or when polled.
Embodiments of the invention include a wireless vehicle detection systems and associated methods with extended range and battery life. The wireless vehicle detection system can include a plurality of sensor pods in commnunication with an access point without repeaters. Embodiments of the sensor pod can include a vehicle detector controller adapted to determine the presence of vehicles and a communication controller connected to the vehicle detector and adapted to transmit data 300 feet or more to an access point, which in turns communicates with the base station. To extend the battery life of the sensor pod, the sensor pod can be adapted to detect received communication signal strength and adjust transmitting power based upon said strength to thereby conserve power. Embodiments of the sensor pod can also include a battery connected in parallel to an HLC capacitor to further extend the life of the battery.
