SOUND GENERATION APPARATUS OF ELECTRIFICATION VEHICLE AND METHOD THEREOF

A sound generation apparatus for an electrification vehicle and a method of use thereof are provided. In example embodiments, the sound generation apparatus receives driving information, determines a driving situation based on the driving information, designs an acceleration sound when the driving situation is determined as an acceleration situation, or designs a cornering sound when the driving situation is determined as a cornering situation, and plays and outputs the acceleration sound or the cornering sound.

GENERATING NOTIFICATIONS INDICATIVE OF UNANTICIPATED ACTIONS
20230150544 · 2023-05-18 ·

Provided are methods for generating notifications indicative of unanticipated actions. Data associated with a current trajectory of an autonomous vehicle, at least one constraint, data associated with historical data for a user using the autonomous vehicle from an expectation database, and data associated with a context that represents a relationship between the current trajectory, at least one constraint, and historical driving data is received. A model is deployed to determine, in real-time and based on the current trajectory, the at least one constraint, and the data associated with the context that a particular action by the autonomous vehicle is classified as an unanticipated autonomous vehicle action. The current trajectory, the at least one constraint, and the data associated with the context are analyzed within a predetermined range of time including a timestamp of the unanticipated autonomous vehicle action to determine a reason for occurrence of the unanticipated autonomous vehicle action. A notification is generated that includes the reason, wherein an intensity of the notification is based on, at least in part, the deviation.

COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AVOIDING COLLISION OF WORK MACHINE WITH OBSTACLES

A collision avoidance system for a work machine includes at least one sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a presence of at least one obstacle in a surrounding area of the work machine, at least one imaging device, a display device, and a controller. The controller receives the signal indicative of the presence of the obstacle and determines a position of the obstacle relative to the work machine based on the signal received from the sensor. The controller generates a first control signal to prevent a movement of the work machine, halt the movement of the work machine, or reduce a velocity of the work machine based on the determination of the position of the obstacle. The controller generates a second control signal for displaying an updated display view that provides a visual indication of the presence of the obstacle in the surrounding area of the work machine.
