In order to find trademarks in the United States, the group decided to utilize the government website, https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/search/search-information. This website allows the group to search for trademark information in the United States.
When searching for the generic term “smart traffic management system” there was a total of 1,091,883 results for smart traffic management system.
However, a lot of those results had nothing to do with smart traffic management, therefore when searching by just the word mark and with an emphasis on TRAFFIC, there were a total of 110 results.
While the group has not decided on a group project name, as smart traffic management system is mainly a placeholder that generally describes the idea of the project. It is wise to decide on a name that represents our goal and group.
If the group were to pick a component that would be a part of the whole project to focus on, it would most likely start with the smart traffic lights. A project name for this component would be GreenFlow Intelligence.
When searching for this term on the website, there seems to be 0 direct results that come up with that name.
Some examples of logos and their trademarks found in the database that the group can gain some inspiration from:
Short-Term Traffic Speed Prediction and Forecasting:
Patent No: U.S. Patent 11,893,883 and 11,620,901
These patents cover technologies that utilize machine learning to analyze spatiotemporal dependencies in traffic and weather data, enabling accurate short-term traffic speed predictions. This can be crucial for dynamic traffic management and congestion avoidance.
Dynamic Digital Representation of Traffic Objects:
Patent No: U.S. Patent 11,410,371 and 11,055,894
These patents describe systems that convert traffic sensor information at roadways and intersections into virtual dynamic digital representations. This technology can enhance the real-time monitoring and management of traffic flows, improving decision-making and response to changing traffic conditions.
Traffic Management Using Sensor Data:
Patent No: U.S. Patent 11,270,581
This patent focuses on measuring vehicle queue lengths and traffic delays using sensor data, which can be integral in optimizing traffic signal timings and reducing congestion at critical junctions.
Augmented Reality for Traffic Information Visualization:
Patent No: U.S. Patent 10,458,807
This innovative approach uses augmented reality to visualize traffic information, potentially transforming how drivers and traffic management centers perceive and react to real-time traffic conditions.
TrafficSens - AI-Driven Traffic Light Controllers:
Summary: TrafficSens controllers use adaptive algorithms powered by artificial intelligence to regulate real-time traffic signal cycles. This technology adapts to changing traffic conditions, optimizing flow and reducing congestion.
Networked Traffic Management System:
Patents: ITMAX holds 2 patents for their traffic management system.
Summary: This system represents a holistic approach to traffic management, employing a network of sensors and controllers to monitor and manage traffic dynamically. It's designed to improve traffic flow and safety across urban environments.

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Standards:
ITS standards, such as those developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), provide guidelines for the design, implementation, and interoperability of smart traffic management technologies. Including references to relevant ITS standards can highlight your project's alignment with international best practices.
Data Privacy and Security Protocols:
With the increasing use of data in smart traffic systems, adhering to data privacy and security protocols is paramount. You can reference standards such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for handling personal data and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cybersecurity frameworks.
