    Abstract: Techniques are provided for autonomous vehicle operation using linear temporal logic. The techniques include using one or more processors of a vehicle to store a linear temporal logic expression defining an operating constraint for operating the vehicle. The vehicle is located at a first spatiotemporal location. The one or more processors are used to receive a second spatiotemporal location for the vehicle. The one or more processors are used to identify a motion segment for operating the vehicle from the first spatiotemporal location to the second spatiotemporal location. The one or more processors are used to determine a value of the linear temporal logic expression based on the motion segment. The one or more processors are used to generate an operational metric for operating the vehicle in accordance with the motion segment based on the determined value of the linear temporal logic expression.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for carrying out a driving maneuver for creating a gap in the traffic flow, which is multiple lanes wide, involving a first vehicle and a plurality of second vehicles. The first vehicle, which requests the gap in the traffic flow periodically sends corresponding request signals at least to a plurality of second vehicles. The second vehicles that intend to comply with the request send out corresponding signaling signals. As soon as a sufficient minimum number of second vehicles that intend to comply with the request can be determined, the second vehicles participating in the driving maneuver for creating the gap in the traffic flow are informed. The second vehicles participating in the driving maneuver agree on the beginning of the driving maneuver and mutually coordinate their trajectories. One of the second vehicles is designated as the maneuver leader and transmits at least one characteristic of the gap in the traffic flow to the first vehicle.

    Abstract: A system and method include a device associated with a user. The device may identify to a server computer a route to be reassigned from a first vehicle to a second vehicle among a fleet of vehicles. The server device may include an artificial intelligence engine which compares the route to be reassigned to a plurality of route groups associated with one of the administrator and the ride requestor. The server device may further identify one or more route groups which are able to service the route to be reassigned based on the artificial intelligence engine. The server device may transmit a graphical representation of one or more of the plurality of route groups which is proximally available in terms of location and time, as determined by the artificial intelligence engine to service the route to be reassigned with a color coded indicator. The server device reassigns the route.

    Abstract: A method includes, transmitting, prior to an end time of an event to a plurality of driver computing devices, navigational data to direct the plurality of driver computing devices to navigate to a location of the event to transport passengers. The transmitting is based on a schedule for arriving at the location of the event prior to receipt of transportation requests. The method further includes, subsequent to the transmitting of the navigational data, communicating with an event information source of a second server device during the event to obtain updated information regarding how much time is remaining prior to the end time of the event. The method further includes, responsive to generating an updated schedule based on the updated information received during the event, directing the plurality of driver computing devices to the location of the event based on the updated schedule.

    Abstract: A traffic controlling system is provided that can include a platform, a sensor, and a control unit. The platform can have a top side, a locomotion system, and a receiving area. The locomotion system can be configured to move the platform into a preselected position. The receiving area configured to receive a traffic indicator module. The sensor, which can include a camera, can be configured to generate location data of the platform. The camera can capture or record surrounding data for navigational purposes or for other highway traffic control and monitoring purposes. The control unit can be configured to receive the location data. The control unit can also be configured to determine if the platform is in the preselected position. The control unit can be further configured to execute instructions including the pathway that the platform needs to travel to be positioned in the preselected position.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments for vehicle route scheduling and navigation with dynamic selection of turns across opposing traffic are presented herein. In one embodiment, a method includes during development of a vehicle route from an arrival link through a node of a graph representing a road network, determining, for a departure link, that a path of the vehicle from the arrival link to the departure link crosses oncoming traffic, and in response to determining that that the path of the vehicle crosses oncoming traffic, adding an additional delay for the departure link to a route objective function representing the vehicle route; selecting the route including the path that crosses oncoming traffic to be an optimum route between a first location and a second location; including the optimum route in the delivery schedule for the vehicle; and transmitting the delivery schedule for execution.
