    Abstract: A system and method including a scraper may include an operator training routine using in-cylinder position sensing to notify the operator via an operator interface (e.g., mounted onboard display, smartphone, etc.) when they are doing something potentially damaging to one or more scraper components or otherwise injecting inefficiency into work operations. Audible and/or visual notifications may for example be enabled for operators of/below a specified skill level, for specified movement speeds, etc. In an embodiment, to utilize advanced automation capabilities of in-cylinder position sensing, a calibration sub-process is executed to specify a location of the ground plane. The scraper ground plane calibration is requested through an operator interface and prompts lowering of the blade to the ground. Once the blade is detected on the ground plane, e.g., using measured movement characteristics of the blade to determine that the blade has stopped, the in-cylinder position sensor reading is recorded.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for determining objects that are kinematically capable, even if non-compliant with rules-of-the-road, of affecting a trajectory of a vehicle. The computing system (e.g., perception system, etc.) of a vehicle may generate a trajectory for the vehicle and a respective trajectory for each object of a plurality of objects within a field of view (FOV) of the sensing device associated with the vehicle. The computing system may identify objects of the plurality of objects with trajectories that intersect the trajectory for the vehicle and remove from such objects, objects with trajectories that at least one of exit the FOV or intersect with other objects of the plurality of objects within the FOV. The computing system may select, from remaining objects with trajectories that intersect the trajectory for the vehicle, objects with trajectories that indicate a respective collision between the object and the vehicle and assign a severity of the respective collision.

    Abstract: A vehicle driving assistance system is disclosed. The system may include a transceiver configured to receive a source location and a destination location for a user trip, a user driving information and road information associated with a plurality of geographical zones between the source location and the destination location. The system may further include a processor configured to calculate a user driving index based on the user driving information. Further, the processor may be configured to calculate a zone index for each geographical zone based on the road information. The processor may be further configured to correlate the user driving index and the zone index, and calculate a driver assistance index for each geographical zone based on the correlation. The processor may perform a control action when the calculated driver assistance index is greater than a predetermined threshold.

    Abstract: A control device for performing a travel control of a vehicle includes: a lane change intention detection unit configured to detect an intention of a driver to change a lane based on a predetermined operation on an operation device by the driver; and a travel control unit configured to determine whether a lane change of the vehicle is possible based on a surrounding situation, and to control the lane change based on a detection result of the lane change intention detection unit and a determination result of whether the lane change is possible. The travel control unit is configured to determine a start timing of a lateral movement in the lane change based on an operation on the operation device when the lane change is possible after the intention of the driver to change the lane is detected.

    Abstract: A method provides information on a distance to empty (DTE) of a vehicle and an information providing apparatus performs the method. The method includes: determining average fuel efficiency based on a travel distance of a vehicle and the cumulative amount of electrical power consumption after start of one driving cycle by vehicle key-on; determining short fuel efficiency by averaging fuel efficiencies calculated at a predetermined travel distance interval after the start of one driving cycle; determining an average fuel efficiency application ratio corresponding to vehicle driving information after the start of one driving cycle using setting information; determining a guide DTE value reflecting the average fuel efficiency and the short fuel efficiency according to the average fuel efficiency application ratio; and controlling operation of a display device to display the guide DTE value.

    Abstract: A method for decelerating a vehicle, a non-transitory computer-readable medium for performing the method, and reception apparatuses. The method includes monitoring a state of a driver of the vehicle, and causing a notification to be output based on the monitored state of the driver. The method further includes determining, by circuitry of an information processing apparatus and when operating in a manual operation mode, whether to cause the vehicle to decelerate after the notification is output. The vehicle is caused by the circuitry to decelerate based on the determination of whether to cause the vehicle to decelerate.
