Abstract:
Provided is a system for improving road safety of a vehicle. The system comprises a central management platform for managing a plurality of network cooperation engine (NCE) modules. Each NCE module manages a plurality of edge gateway devices (EGWs) which are each located in a respective defined geographical area of limited size. Each EGW communicates with multiple roadside units (RSUs) in its area and exchanges real-time and low latency information with said RSUs and with any vehicle on-board data processing units (ICGWs) in vehicles presently within its area. Each ICGW is adapted to be installable in a vehicle. The ICGW is configured to receive real-time data from one or more on-board vehicle modules. The ICGW is also configured to receive data from its EGW and the RSUs which are themselves configured to receive data from a plurality of sources located within said defined geographical area and to transmit said received data and/or data derived from said received data to said ICGW. The ICGW is configured to process data to autonomously determine any one or more of: a threat to the vehicle; an alert to be issued; and a control action to be implemented for the vehicle. A size of the defined geographical area may be selected such as to enable data from said EGW and/or RSUs to be transmitted to said ICGW in real-time or at least at or less than a first, low level of latency.
Abstract:
Systems and methods which provide an adaptive unified performance management (AUPM) framework for interacting with disparate network elements using techniques adaptive to operational conditions to provide network performance adaptive root cause analysis (ARCA) are shown. An AUPM framework of embodiments of the invention implements a proxy based architecture in which a plurality of proxies are utilized to connect to and perform data communication with the disparate network elements. Centralized performance management is in communication with the proxies to obtain and unify network element data for performance monitoring, alarm reporting, and/or root cause analysis. The performance monitoring, alarm reporting, and root cause analysis provided by centralized performance management of embodiments herein implements adaptive cluster-based analysis to provide robust operation adapted to accommodate various operational scenarios, such as may include time varying conditions and learning based configuration.
