    Abstract: The disclosure relates to estimating an initial position and navigation state associated with a vehicle using odometry and/or other data obtained from the vehicle to support dead reckoning at start-up. In particular, a last known position and last known heading at a first odometer value associated with the vehicle may be stored and compared to a current odometer value after linking a mobile device with the vehicle. The last known position and last known heading may be used to estimate the initial position and navigation state associated with the vehicle based on a difference between the compared odometer values. For example, the estimated initial position and/or navigation state may substantially correspond to the last known position and last known heading if the difference between the odometer values indicates no change, or a non-zero difference may define a radius to limit an estimated error associated with the initial position estimate.

    Abstract: Methods, devices, systems, and non-transitory process-readable storage media for a computing device of an autonomous vehicle to generate real-time mappings of nearby vehicles. An embodiment method executed by a computing device may include operations for obtaining origin point coordinates via a first satellite-based navigation functionality, obtaining termination point coordinates via a second satellite-based navigation functionality, calculating a unit vector based on the obtained origin point coordinates and the obtained termination point coordinates, identifying a position, a direction, and an occupancy of the autonomous vehicle based on the obtained origin point coordinates, the calculated unit vector, and stored vehicle dimensions data (e.g., length, width, height), and transmitting a message using DSRC with the origin point coordinates, the stored vehicle dimensions data, and data for identifying the vehicle's direction. The computing device may compare the direction, position, and occupancy to data of nearby vehicles based on incoming messages received via DSRC.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for constraining growth in position uncertainty of a mobile device are based on determination that the mobile device is in a pedestrian mode. Determination of the pedestrian mode is based on detection of steps by a pedometer, speed of motion of the mobile device, turn rate determination by a gyroscope, charging condition of the mobile device, availability of satellite signals, etc. Step counts and/or turn rate information are used to ascertain the distance that a pedestrian user may have traversed from a last known position, based on which growth of position uncertainty is controlled.

    Abstract: Embodiments implement a device having a sensor optimizer, where a source data stream from a sensor module may be used by the sensor optimizer to create multiple sensor data streams having different data stream parameters (e.g. data rate, calibration, scaling, etcetera) from the source data stream. Such a sensor optimizer may intercept requests for sensor data from applications running on a mobile device processor, and concurrently provide data streams having different data stream parameters to applications executed by the processor.
