Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product controls operations of a vehicle based on a condition of cargo being transported. One or more processors receive output from a camera on a first cargo vehicle, wherein the output from the camera describes a movement of cargo caused by movement of the first cargo vehicle. The processor(s) determine, based on the output from the camera, that the movement of the first cargo vehicle has caused cargo in the first cargo vehicle to shift beyond a predetermined amount, and transmit instructions to a second cargo vehicle to adjust initial cargo loading operations on the second cargo vehicle based on determining that the movement of the first cargo vehicle has caused the cargo to shift beyond the predetermined amount in the first cargo vehicle.

Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product controls positioning of cargo being loaded onto a cargo vehicle based on sensor readings from another cargo vehicle. One or more processors receive output from a cargo sensor and a camera, on a first cargo vehicle, that describe an amount of movement of first cargo being transported by the first cargo vehicle. The processor(s) then transmit instructions to a loader of second cargo being loaded onto a second cargo vehicle to adjust a positioning of the second cargo while being loaded onto the second cargo vehicle, where the positioning of the second cargo in the second cargo vehicle is different from a positioning of the first cargo on the first cargo vehicle, in order to minimize damage exposure to the second cargo.

Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product controls operations of a vehicle based on a condition of cargo being transported. One or more processors receive output from cargo sensors and cameras on a first cargo vehicle. The processor(s) determine that the cargo has shifted beyond a calculated risk amount in the first cargo vehicle based on the output from the cargo sensors and cameras based on historical trips. The processor(s) determine that the movement of the first cargo vehicle has caused the cargo to shift beyond the calculated risk amount in the first cargo vehicle, and instructs a second cargo vehicle to adjust operations of the second cargo vehicle based on determining that the movement of the first cargo vehicle has caused the cargo to shift beyond the calculated risk amount in the first cargo vehicle.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to extended reality (XR) device thermal load management. Thermal data associated with an XR device can be received. A determination can be made that a condition is met for offloading a thermal load of the XR device. One or more edge processing devices within the environment of the XR device can be identified. At least one edge processing device with sufficient computing resources for balancing the thermal load of the XR device can be selected. The XR device can be instructed to offload the thermal load to the selected at least one edge processing device.

Abstract: Embodiments provide predictive dynamic caching in edge devices when connectivity may be potentially lost. A technique includes registering devices that require a connectivity to a cloud server via a network and predicting a likelihood of a network outage of the connectivity to the network for the devices having been registered. The technique includes determining data to cache for each of the devices by analyzing traffic for each of the devices to the cloud server, at least one piece of the data being currently in use by at least one of the devices. The technique includes responsive to predicting the likelihood of the network outage, caching the data to edge devices, and responsive to the connectivity to the network being restored, removing the data cached on the edge devices.

Abstract: A method for device and role-based authentication includes generating a near-body electrical-field via a communication transmitter associated with a user, where a plurality of IoT devices is further associated with the user attempting authentication for access to a location. The method further includes receiving the near-body electrical-field via a communication receiver on an authentication device for identifying the user attempting the authentication. In response to identifying the user based on the near-body electrical-field, the method further includes analyzing a plurality of activities associated with a role for the user and analyzing plurality of resources associated with the user, wherein the plurality resources include at least the plurality of IoT devices associated with the user. In response to determining the user is authenticated based on the analyzing of the plurality of activities and the analyzing of the resources associated with the user, the method further includes granting access to the location.

Abstract: Hardware and software on a computing device is analyzed based on a regulatory profile for the computing device and regulatory compliance for an entity associated with the computing device. A determination is made whether at least one of the hardware and software on the computing device includes at least one regulatory non-compliance issue. In response to determining that at least one of the hardware and software on the computing device includes at least one regulatory non-compliance issue, one or more scripts are executed on the hardware and software on the computing device to cause the hardware and software to resolve the at least one regulatory non-compliance issue based on the regulatory profile for the computing device.

Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product controls positioning of cargo being loaded onto a cargo vehicle based on sensor readings from another cargo vehicle. One or more processors receive output from a cargo sensor that describes shifting experienced by a first cargo while being transported by a first cargo vehicle, and based on the output, determine that the first cargo has shifted beyond a predetermined amount. The processor(s) transmit instructions to a robotic cargo loader of second cargo being loaded onto a second cargo vehicle to adjust a positioning of the second cargo while being loaded onto the second cargo vehicle based on the first cargo shifting beyond the predetermined amount while being transported by the first cargo vehicle, where the positioning of the second cargo in the second cargo vehicle is different from a positioning of the first cargo on the first cargo vehicle.

Abstract: A method directs a self-driving cargo vehicle to take an alternate route based on cargo sensor readings from another cargo vehicle. One or more processors receive output from a cargo sensor and a camera, which describe an amount of movement of first cargo being transported by a first cargo vehicle on a first cargo vehicle. The processor(s) evaluate a profile of a controller on a second cargo vehicle, which is a self-driving vehicle, and which is transporting second cargo that is a same type of cargo as the first cargo. The processor(s) determine an alternate route for the second cargo vehicle, and then transmit instructions to the controller to take the second cargo vehicle on the alternate route.
