Definition statement

This place covers:

Traffic control; traffic monitoring.

Identification of traffic offenders.

Anti-collision systems.

Navigation systems wherein the calculation of the navigation route takes into account traffic situation. The navigation route can be carried out onboard or offboard.

Relationships with other classification places

Subclass G08G covers arrangements, located in land, water, air or space vehicles or on the ground, for controlling road vehicles, marine craft or aircraft within a traffic environment, e.g. anti-collision systems.

This subclass does not cover arrangements for the control of position, course, altitude or attitude of land, water, air or space vehicles, not being specific to a traffic environment, e.g. automatic pilots, unmanned vehicles, which are covered by group G05D 1/00.

Radar or analogous systems, sonar systems or lidar systems specially adapted for traffic control or anti-collision systems are covered by specific groups of subclass G01S (see below).
