Abstract:

System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to transporting an object into and out of a vehicle using an arm mounted to the vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes detecting a plurality of objects in an environment of the vehicle, and identifying at least one object for transportation. The method includes determining at least one attribute for the at least one object, and determining a transport plan of how to move the at least one object into the vehicle based on the determined at least one attribute. The method includes, based on the transport plan, controlling the arm to move from a retracted position inside the vehicle to an extended position outside the vehicle, to engage the at least one object, move from the extended position to the retracted position, and disengage the at least one object to move the at least one object into the vehicle.

Abstract:

The progression of technology in vehicles has enhanced the driver's as well as passenger's experience. A sizable portion of the progression is the evolution of the human-machine interface. Nowadays, incorporating several user interfaces within a single vehicle is the standard. Accordingly, improving an occupant's interaction with these user interfaces is fundamental to cultivating the optimum occupant experience. The presently disclosed technology fulfills this objective by creating customized user interfaces for a vehicle. Each customized user interface is formed through the fusion of data from sensors within and around the vehicle tracking the occupant as well as vehicle interactions with each other and the environment. The wealth of information obtained simultaneous advances each individual occupant's experience by modifying associated user interfaces in accordance with the occupant's identified wants and needs.

Abstract:

A method of improving efficiency of a vehicle behavior controller using a traffic state estimation network is described. The method includes feeding an input of a feature extraction network of the vehicle behavior controller with a sequence of images. The sequence of images include a highway section and corresponding traffic data. The method also includes disentangling an estimated behavior of a controlled ego vehicle. by the traffic state estimation network. The traffic state estimate network disentangles the estimated of the controlled ego vehicle from extracted traffic state features of the input provided by the feature extraction network. The method further includes selecting an action to adjust an autonomous behavior of the controlled ego vehicle according to the estimated behavior of the controlled ego vehicle.

G06Q 10/02
G06Q 50/30

Abstract:

A system for automatic scheduling of vehicles includes a network access device configured to receive scheduling information corresponding to at least one travel request and including a user-selected starting location and a user-selected destination location. The system further includes a memory configured to store map information including road information and preselected vehicle stops. The system further includes a processor coupled to the network access device and the memory. The processor is designed to identify available vehicles to transport passengers. The processor is further designed to determine routes for the available vehicles to travel, the routes including vehicle stops and being determined based on the scheduling information, the road information, and the preselected vehicle stops. The processor is further designed to control the network access device to transmit the identified routes to the available vehicles.

Abstract:

A method for deploying of a backup roadside unit (RSU) vehicle to provide on-demand RSU services is described. The method may include determining, by a server, a resource specification to deploy a selected backup RSU vehicle to a requested site. The determining of the resource specification may be performed by the server in response to a scene description received from a requestor. The method also includes sending a dispatch instruction to the selected backup RSU vehicle to deploy the selected backup RSU vehicle to the requested site. In this method, a hardware/software capability of the selected backup RSU vehicle is matched to the resource specification determined by the server.
