    Abstract: Systems and methods for automated surveillance of a fleet of vehicles in a parking area using vehicle sensors on various fleet vehicles. In particular, the vehicles in a parking area can be observed and monitored using sensors on a subset of the vehicles. The field of view of each vehicle and overall map coverage of a parking area can be used to determine which vehicles to use for surveillance and/or which sensors on various vehicles to use for surveillance. Thus, surveillance can be optimized using fleet knowledge of vehicle locations within a facility and the scope of coverage of various vehicle sensors to determine where there is overlap in coverage. Appropriate sensors on certain vehicles can be selectively activated to maintain secure coverage without burning resources unnecessarily.

    Abstract: A device for balancing journeys of motor vehicles in order to form a vehicle train includes a guiding vehicle and at least one following vehicle, which is longitudinally and laterally guided by the guiding vehicle. The device includes a user unit, which is designed to capture data of a journey of a motor vehicle, a radio unit designed to receive data of an additional journey of at least one additional motor vehicle, a balancing unit which exchanged data with the user unit and the radio unit and is designed to output, at the user unit, a correspondence between the captured data of the journey of the motor vehicle and the received data of the additional journey of the at least one additional motor vehicle, the data including a route and associated driving times of the journey.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for monitoring vehicles traversing a dedicated roadway that includes an at-grade crossing. In some implementations, a system includes a central server, a gate system, and sensors. The gate system provides access to an at-grade crossing for vehicles. The sensors are positioned in a fixed location relative to a roadway, the roadway including the at-grade crossing. Each sensor can detect vehicles on the roadway. For each vehicle, each sensor can generate sensor data and observational data from the generated sensor data. Each sensor can determine a likelihood that the detected vehicle will approach the at-grade crossing by comparing the likelihood to a threshold. In response, each sensor can transmit data to the gate system that causes the gate system to allow the autonomous vehicle access to the at-grade crossing prior to the autonomous vehicle reaching the gate system.

    Abstract: A server device capable of creating data for reflecting traveling conditions that change over time in driver assistance function, an information processing method, an information processing program, and a storage medium are provided. It includes a server communication unit configured to acquire, from a mobile object communication unit arranged at one mobile object of a plurality of mobile objects, information to be processed in which position information of the one mobile object is associated with information indicating a driver assistance function being used by the one mobile object, and a processing unit configured to execute statistical processing with respect to the information to be processed acquired by the server communication unit and embed, into the map data, statistical information indicating whether the driver assistance function should be performed or not in a position or area in a map indicated by the map data.
