    Abstract: A vehicle tracking method includes receiving distributed optical fiber sensing (DFOS) data. The vehicle tracking method includes identifying hit points within the DFOS data, wherein each of the hit points corresponds to a location of a corresponding vehicle at a detection time. The vehicle tracking method includes clustering the identified hit points to define one or more clusters. The vehicle tracking method includes classifying each of the one or more clusters into a first or second classification based on a quantity of the hit points in each of the one or more clusters and a quantity of the detection times. The vehicle tracking method includes estimating a vehicle parameter of a first vehicle corresponding to the hit points of a first cluster of the one or more clusters, wherein the first cluster has the first classification, and the estimating is based on the hit points of the first cluster.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for moving a first mobile object at a traffic node includes determining a state of the first mobile object including a position, a velocity, or an acceleration of the first mobile object, and receiving a trajectory of a state of a second mobile object at the traffic node. The method further includes determining a constraint for the state of the first mobile object based on the received trajectory of the state of the second mobile object, and determining a trajectory of the state of the first mobile object based on the state of the first mobile object using a model configured to predict the trajectory of the state of the first mobile object based on (i) a trajectory of a driving signal for moving the first mobile object, and (ii) the state of the first mobile object.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented herein for enabling a vehicle, configured to support autonomous vehicle operation, to change a location of the vehicle based on the detection of an impending impact with the vehicle. A starting location of the vehicle is determined while the vehicle is parked, unoccupied, and comprises an inactive powertrain. In response to determining a watchdog state is enabled, data corresponding to the location is accessed from within a threshold distance of the vehicle. An identifier and a trajectory of an object is determined. In response to determining that the trajectory corresponds to an impact path with the vehicle, an evasive route for the vehicle is determined that terminates at a safe location not subjected to the impending impact. An instruction to activate the vehicle powertrain and an autonomous mode of the vehicle to execute the identified evasive route is transmitted for the vehicle to process.

    Abstract: A system receives a service request sent from a computing device of a user, which identifies a service to be provided. The system then identifies potential locations based on the service request and historical data. These locations are assessed based on predetermined criteria, including an amount of successful and unsuccessful service requests at each location according to the historical data. After a location is chosen, the user's acceptance is obtained. Upon receiving this acceptance, the system generates and sends navigation instructions from the provider's current position to the selected location to a second computing device associated with the provider.

    Abstract: A system for urban air mobility monitors flight separation for compliance with a safe separation distance. A reference formation airspace is established for a reference air taxi based on minimum longitudinal, lateral and vertical parameters. When penetration of the reference formation airspace is detected, a penetration airspace is established. A centroid of the penetration airspace is determined and a target separation to the centroid is supplied to the air taxi to reestablish safe separation. The extent of separation is also safely contained by the presence of virtual air taxis whose positions on the periphery of the penetrated airspace serve to limit potential penetration of surrounding air taxi air spaces.

    Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments that provide a transportation environment data service. The transportation environmental data service includes harvesting services that crawl roadside infrastructure solutions to obtain sensor data collected from sensors physically positioned at the roadside infrastructure. In some cases, the roadside infrastructure solutions perform additional processing on the sensor data. For example, some roadside infrastructure performs object detection and/or object recognition. When encountering these solutions, the edge or harvesting service also collects the object detection and/or object recognition information. Customers can subscribe to various data services provided by the transportation environment data service. For example, some subscribers indicate an interest in any updates of environmental data for a particular region. Other subscribers are interested in video data associated with any vehicular accidents detected by the transportation environment data service.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining an atmospheric radiative forcing difference by optimising or preventing contrail formation caused by an aircraft. The method comprises receiving one or more weather parameters to determine contrail forecast data; receiving one or more flight parameters associated with aircraft to determine flight data; determining tentative atmospheric radiative forcing quantity, along tentative flight trajectory, based on contrail forecast data and flight data; altering one or more flight parameters to determine optimised flight trajectory having optimum atmospheric radiative forcing quantity, wherein optimised flight trajectory is validated using imagery data; and determining an atmospheric radiative forcing difference to evaluate offset value for at least one forcing parameter associated with atmospheric radiative forcing difference. Disclosed also is an apparatus for determining atmospheric radiative forcing caused by aircraft by optimising or preventing contrail formation. Further, disclosed is computer program product to carry out aforementioned method.

    Abstract: A method for automatically guiding an aircraft includes receiving an ATIS message and decoding the content of the ATIS message. If the decoded content of the ATIS message includes a parameter relating to an active landing runway, the method includes creating a message requesting confirmation of the decoded content and commanding the sending of the message over a communication frequency with air traffic control, receiving a response from air traffic control and decoding the response to determine whether or not the response is a confirmation of the decoded content of the ATIS message. If the response is a confirmation of the decoded content of the ATIS message, the method includes determining a contingency trajectory of the aircraft at least partially in consideration of the decoded content of the ATIS message. The method also includes automatically guiding the aircraft along the determined contingency trajectory.
