    摘要: An autonomous vehicle is equipped with a beacon, preferably including a transmitter and receiver, or a transceiver, for bi-directional communication, which is programmed to interact with other beacons for the exchange of contextual travel information to assist in autonomous operation of the vehicle. Beacons may be stationary and positioned along a roadway such that a signal transmitted by such a stationary beacon can be received by a passing beacon-equipped vehicle, the operation of which can be adjusted depending on instructions received from the stationary beacon. The vehicle can also transmit information to the stationary beacon, which information can be used to assess traffic conditions to thereafter adjust information and alerts sent to other beacon-equipped vehicles. Beacons located within multiple vehicles may also interact to share information that may be used by individual vehicles to adjust or maintain the autonomous operation of the vehicle.

    摘要: Embodiments describe new mechanisms for signalized intersection control. Embodiments expand inputs beyond traditional traffic control methods to include awareness of agency policies for signalized control, industry standardized calculations for traffic control parameters, geometric awareness of the roadway and/or intersection, and/or input of vehicle trajectory data relative to this intersection geometry. In certain embodiments, these new inputs facilitate a real-time, future-state trajectory modeling of the phase timing and sequencing options for signalized intersection control. Phase selection and timing can be improved or otherwise optimized based upon modeling the signal's future state impact on arriving vehicle trajectories. This improvement or optimization can be performed to reduce or minimize the cost basis of a user definable objective function.

    摘要: A mobile object monitoring system including a terminal unit installed in a vehicle and a monitoring unit configured to monitor an unknown mobile object around the vehicle. The terminal unit includes: an information acquisition component that acquires unknown mobile object information including information on presence or absence of an unknown mobile object; a determination component that determines presence or absence of an unknown mobile object regarding a blind spot; a time-of-absence information generation component that generates a time-of-absence information set concerning an unknown mobile object that includes absence information of an unknown mobile object in the blind spot and time information on a time of determination; and a communication component that transmits the time-of-absence information set. The monitoring unit receives time-of-absence information sets from terminal units and establishes, regarding the received time-of-absence information sets, reliability of absence information based on the number of time-of-absence information sets with overlapping time ranges that are based on the time information on a time of determination.

    摘要: A vehicle wirelessly receives configuration data defining data-gathering and data-reporting parameters associated with at least one context. The vehicle defines data to be gathered by the vehicle related to the context and, as the vehicle travels, gathers the defined data. The vehicle compares the gathered data to the at least one context to determine if there is a correlation between at least one of the at least one contexts and the gathered data, and responsive to there being a correlation, sets vehicle data-gathering and data-reporting based on the parameters associated with the context to which the gathered data correlates.

    摘要: Systems and methods for generating calm or quiet routes are provided. When a user requests navigation directions and indicates a preference for a calm route, a plurality of routes between the origin location and the destination location requested by the user may be identified. Historical sensor data (e.g., including heart rate data, exterior vehicle noise level data, accelerometer data) and traffic data associated with route segments of each of the routes may be analyzed to identify indications of calmness associated with each route segment. Current traffic data associated with the route segments may be analyzed to assign a traffic score representing a level of congestion along the segment and corresponding to a level of insurance risk associated with traversing the segment. Based at least in part upon the indications of calmness and the traffic score associated with each route segment, a route may be selected and presented to the user.
