Abstract

A quick installed autonomous traffic and pedestrian crossroad signaling system employing a mechanical support wire spanning between at least two structural support points, and an electrified wire with a plurality of hub receptacles running alongside the mechanical support wire whereas electrified devices are coupled to the hub receptacles.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A self-powered cable-suspended traffic signaling system comprising:
a plurality of vertical support structures;
a conductor cable having a plurality of hubs coupled to and spaced apart along the conductor cable;
a mechanical support cable extending between at least two of the plurality of vertical support structures, the mechanical support cable being mechanically coupled to the conductor cable;
a power generating device;
a power storage device;
a processor with resident memory and code;
a sensing device; and
a signaling device coupled to receive power or power and data from at least one of the power generating device and the power storage device,
wherein at least one of a power consuming electrical device and the power generating device is detachably coupled to a power or power and data receptacle of one of the plurality of hubs.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the signaling device receives power from an external source.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor receives input from at least one of the sensing devices and prioritizes the operation of the signaling device based on the input.

4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a wireless communication device coupled to at least one of: the processor, a cable mounted device, and a remote device in the proximity of said system.

5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a detachable device cord and plug connector that connects to at least one of the plurality of power or power and data hub receptacles.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein at least one of the detachable cord and plug connector and the hub receptacle enables selecting a power circuit, a data circuit, or a power and data circuit.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the power generating device comprises at least one of a wind driven power generating device, a photovoltaic cell-based power generating device, and/or a fuel cell-based power generating device.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the power generating device, the power storage device, the sensing power generating device, and the signaling device employs at least one of a transceiver, a processor with memory and code, and a controller.

9. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a camera driven by artificial intelligence (AI) code and coupled to the mechanical support cable, where the camera employs image correction algorithms and/or a gyroscopic device to maintain image clarity.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the power consuming electrical device is a camera, and wherein the camera is powered using energy from one of the power generating device and the power storage device.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the conductor cable employs a plurality of differently configured detachable hub connectors to provide power or power and data to the devices coupled to the conductor cable.
