    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems and methods for accessible vehicles (e.g., accessible autonomous vehicles). In an embodiment, a passenger-assistance system for a vehicle includes first circuitry, second circuitry, third circuitry, and fourth circuitry. The first circuitry is configured to identify an assistance type of a passenger of the vehicle. The second circuitry is configured to control one or more passenger-comfort controls of the vehicle based on the identified assistance type. The third circuitry is configured to generate a modified route for a ride for the passenger at least in part by modifying an initial route for the ride based on the identified assistance type. The fourth circuitry is conduct a pre-ride safety check and/or a pre-exit safety check based on the identified assistance type.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for wireless sensor networks (WSNs), including vehicle-based WSNs. A road side unit (RSU) includes one or more fixed sensors covering different sectors of a designated coverage area. The RSU uses the sensors to capture sensor data that is representative of objects in the coverage area, tracks objects (e.g., vehicles) in the coverage area, and determines regions in the coverage area that are not adequately covered by the sensors (e.g., “perception gaps”). When the RSU identifies an object that is in or at a perception gap, then the RSU sends a request to that object for sensor data captured by the object's on-board sensors. The RSU obtains the sensor data from the object, and uses the obtained sensor data to complement the knowledge that the RSU (i.e., “filling the peception gaps”). Other embodiments are disclosed and/or claimed.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for wireless sensor networks (WSNs), including sensor deployment mechanisms for road surveillance. Disclosed embodiments are applied to design roadside infrastructure with optimal perception for a given geographic area. The deployment mechanisms account for the presence of static and dynamic obstacles, as well as symmetry aspects of the underlying environment. The deployment mechanisms minimize the number of required sensors to reduce costs and conserve compute and network resources, and extended infrastructure the sensing capabilities of sensor networks. Other embodiments are disclosed and/or claimed.
