    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle (AV) system is described. The AV system receives a request for a transportation service associated with pickup and drop off (PUDO) locations. The AV system, in response to receiving the request, transmits data representing the PUDO locations to an AV service provider and receives a proposed navigation plan, for an AV, that includes the PUDO locations. The AV system determines whether the proposed navigation plan received from the AV service provider satisfies one or more trip quality criteria. The AV system selectively transmits an offer to the AV service provider to perform the transportation service in response to determining whether the proposed navigation plan received from the AV service provider satisfies the one or more trip quality criteria, the offer comprising the PUDO locations and service quality information corresponding to the one or more trip quality criteria.

    Abstract: A deep learning based method for integrating demand forecasting and scheduling of online ride-hailing at a hub is provided. The method includes: S1, performing data processing: performing missing value filling, outlier processing and normalization processing on the historical orders of online ride-hailing and relevant feature data of the urban transportation hub; S2, performing feature screening: primarily screening the relevant features by means of a Pearson correlation test and box plot analysis, calculating an influence degree of data of each feature on the orders of online ride-hailing by using an XGBoost algorithm, and secondarily screening the features; S3, performing model construction: constructing an integrated model for demand forecasting and scheduling decision of online ride-hailing at the urban transportation hub; and S4: performing algorithm design: designing a decision tree and deep learning combination algorithm, and calculating the number of online hailed rides to be scheduled.

    Abstract: A method of optimizing a delivery route for a delivery vehicle driver and a delivery assistant includes: identifying a delivery route for a delivery vehicle; determining, for each of the packages to be delivered using the delivery route, a first delivery time for a delivery vehicle driver of the delivery vehicle to deliver the respective package without the delivery assistant, a second delivery time for a delivery assistant of the delivery vehicle to deliver the respective package without the delivery vehicle driver, and a third delivery time for both the delivery assistant and the delivery vehicle driver to deliver the respective package; determining minimum times needed by the delivery vehicle driver and the delivery assistant to deliver the packages using the delivery route; and determining that a minimum of the estimated total delivery times corresponds to a first subset and a second subset of the packages.

    Abstract: A parking support apparatus includes: a first parking space setting unit that sets a first parking space including information of a parking position and a parking angle of a vehicle at a parking completion position; a second parking space setting unit that calculates a second parking space, which is obtained by correcting the parking angle of the first parking space, based on information of measurement of the first parking space by using a vehicle surrounding sensor which measures a surrounding area of the vehicle; a parking space determination unit that calculates reliability of the second parking space and determines to use the first parking space or the second parking space based on the calculated reliability; and a parking route generation unit that generates a parking route to the first parking space or the second parking space determined by the parking space determination unit.

    Abstract: The preceding vehicle selection device includes a processor configured to estimate a continuous running distance from a present time of a surrounding vehicle based on information relating to the surrounding vehicle for each of a plurality of surrounding vehicles, estimate a followable distance when the host vehicle follows the surrounding vehicle based on the continuous running distance from the present time of the surrounding vehicle for each of the plurality of surrounding vehicles, and select the preceding vehicle from among the plurality of surrounding vehicles based on the followable distance. The information relating to the surrounding vehicle includes at least one of an SOC or an amount of remaining fuel of the surrounding vehicle, and a continuous running time or a continuous running distance up to the present time of the surrounding vehicle.

    Abstract: Systems and techniques by which a navigation system provides directional information for vehicular travel that is customized based upon real-time conditions, a safety profile associated with a vehicle driver, and the safety assessment associated with the characteristics of road segments are disclosed. In one implementation, a method for a personalized vehicular navigation assessed dynamically based on risk tolerance includes retrieving data indicative of accident history associated with at least one of the road segments, retrieving data indicative of real-time condition of the road segments, and retrieving a user profile associated with the user. The method further includes calculating risk scores, based on the accident history and the real-time conditions and weighed based on tolerance level and the driver's history, associated with a plurality of proposed routes, identifying a personalized route based on the risk scores, and transmitting the identified personalized route to a device. The calculation of the risk scores includes combining, using a statistical inference method such as an Empirical Bayes method, the accident history and a statistical regression model based on features of a road segment to compute a likelihood of having an accident on the road segment.
