Abstract:
A driving support system includes a first monitoring device on a first object, the first monitoring device having a first controller, a first camera, and a first display, a second monitoring device on a second object, the second monitoring device having a second controller and a second camera, and a server in communication with the first and second monitoring devices. The first and second controllers each detect a target in images acquired from the respective first or second camera, calculate target information for the target, and transmit the target information to the server. The server generates list information including the target information the first and second monitoring devices, and transmits the list information to the first and second monitoring devices. The first controller further generates a map according to the list information received from the server, and displays the map on the first display.
Abstract:
In traffic, vehicle safety generally depends on the relative separation between two vehicles, and not at all on their absolute geographical positions. Therefore, methods are disclosed for determining the relative separation differentially. Two vehicles simultaneously acquire the same satellite signals, reduce the signals to data, and then transmit the data, preferably with fast 5G or 6G, to one of the vehicles or to a roadside access point. A computer then analyzes the data based on differences between the two sets of signals, thereby determining the separation distance and angle between the two vehicles. Other vehicles within range can do the same. The relative locations of all the participating vehicles can then be broadcast, in the form of a table or a map, to all the vehicles in proximity. Improved position measurements can enable collision avoidance and harm minimization in traffic.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and autonomous vehicles for detecting road marking points from LiDAR data may obtain a LiDAR dataset generated by a LiDAR system; process, for each laser emitter of the LiDAR system, a point cloud associated with that laser emitter by: determining, for each point in the point cloud, based on a gradient of intensity at that point, whether that point corresponds to a gradient edge point; and determining, based on intensities of points in an interior segment of points between at least one candidate pair of gradient edge points and intensities of points in exterior segments of points outside the at least one candidate pair of gradient edge points, whether that candidate pair of gradient edge points corresponds to a road marking edge; and aggregate, from the processing of the plurality of point clouds, candidate pairs of gradient edge points determined to correspond to road marking edges.
Abstract:
A guide route matching with the characteristic of vehicle control is searched to reduce the frequency at which re-search of a guide route is executed. A navigation device 50 includes an information input unit 582 for acquiring a control condition for controlling the traveling of the vehicle 2 as control characteristic information from an autonomous driving control device 30, and a route searching unit 583 for searching a guide route for the vehicle 2 satisfying the control condition based on the control characteristic information acquired by the information input unit 582. Accordingly, the guide route matching with the control characteristic of the vehicle 2 can be searched.
Abstract:
A system includes a processor configured to determine a navigation instruction execution location within a predefined distance from a vehicle location. The processor is also configured to communicate with a wireless transceiver to receive information identifying an intervening turn-option location, between the execution location and vehicle location. The processor is further configured to determine a distance between the vehicle location and turn-option location and display the determined distance on a navigation display, until the vehicle passes the turn-option location.
Abstract:
An enhanced broadcast data service with reports locations of traffic enforcement camera locations e.g., red light cameras and speed cameras) to users. Traffic enforcement camera information is aggregated, verified (e.g., particularly as to traffic enforcement camera type) and stored (e.g., at a server). A broadcast signal comprising program channels and at least one data channel having traffic enforcement camera information is transmitted to a plurality of receivers. Receivers store at least a subset of the traffic enforcement camera information available from the server and synchronize to it using periodic transmitted updates. Receivers compare receiver location data with stored camera location data, and display or generate audible alerts when the receiver is within a Selected geographic range of a traffic enforcement camera. Alerts can be filtered as to camera type. A alerts can employ different color camera icons superimposed on a screen map depending on camera type or whether the camera is newly added.
Abstract:
Technologies are generally described for methods and systems effective to provide an indication of a location of a first vehicle. In some examples, a processor may receive a request for the location of the first vehicle that includes an identification of the first vehicle. The processor may search for the identification of the first vehicle in a memory associated with a second vehicle. Based on a result of the search, the processor may retrieve location data relating to the location of the first vehicle. The processor may transform the location data into the indication of the location of the first vehicle.
Abstract:
An electronic vehicle identification system comprises a processing unit (1) having identification information of a vehicle that receives and processes signals from a two-way communication module (2) that simultaneously sends information of said vehicle, detects, and receives identification information of other vehicles that are within the range of the detection module, wherein said processing unit (1) is also associated with a GPS module (3) and a memory (4) that contains a map database that is updated via the internet or other conventional means, wherein said processing unit (1) is also connected to a non-volatile memory (5) whereon it stores date, time, and location of the vehicle itself and equivalent information of the rest of the vehicles situated within the range of the detection module (2), and also a user interface (6) whereon it displays information and receives commands from said user.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, apparatus, and computer program products are provided for identifying overlapping areas. For example, in one embodiment, telematics data can be collected as vehicles traverse various geographic areas. Then, the areas traversed by the vehicles can be displayed to identify overlapping areas.
Abstract:
A mobile computing device can be used to locate a vehicle parking location. In particular, the mobile device can automatically identify when a vehicle in which the mobile device is located has entered into a parked state. The mobile device can determine that the vehicle is in a parked state by analyzing one or more parameters that indicate a parked state or a transit state. The location of the mobile device at a time corresponding to when the vehicle is identified as being parked can be associated with an identifier for the current parking location.
