Methods for improving compliance with regulations pertaining to vehicle driving records are disclosed. One or more digital images from a camera mounted in a vehicle are received. Based on a determination that the vehicle has hours of service that have not been assigned to a driver, a subset of the one or more digital images corresponding to the hours of service are identified based on the timestamps. The subset of the one or more digital images are processed to identify a correspondence between a face of a person included in the one or more digital images and a face of a known person. Based on the correspondence transgressing a threshold level of correspondence, a user interface is generated for presentation on a device. The user interface includes an interactive user interface element for accepting a recommendation to assign the known person as the driver for the unassigned hours of service.

An apparatus for displaying a virtual lane may include: a processor to generate the virtual lane by converting lane information of a preceding vehicle into lane information viewed in a viewpoint of a host vehicle, in platooning, and a display to display the virtual lane.

A method for perception-sharing between similarly-situated vehicles that are traveling on a portion of a roadway that is equipped with an intelligent vehicle highway system is described, and includes executing, in a multi-access edge computing cluster in communication with a roadside unit disposed to monitor a roadway, an application-layer routine. The application-layer routine includes collecting real-time data associated with a plurality of objects from each of the similarly-situated vehicles, predicting motion of each of the plurality of objects based upon the real-time data, object-matching the motion of each of the plurality of objects, and executing fusion of the plurality of objects based upon the object-matching of the motion of each of the plurality of objects. Locations of the similarly-situated vehicles traveling on the roadway are identified based upon the fusion of the plurality of objects. The locations are communicated to one of the similarly-situated vehicles.

A system and method tier tracking competitive driving on a driving circuit provides a unique driving experience for multiple drivers that allows a driving circuit, drivers and their vehicles, and driver statistics to be tracked, recorded, and displayed on a shared network. In some embodiments, the system and method provide a software application that enables multiple drivers to simultaneously drive on the same driving circuit, and on the same network. The driving circuit is a real public roadway that is digitally displayed, along with the position of each driver. The driving circuit is defined by a starting point and an ending point, and the position of the drivers is also visible on the driving circuit. Further, multiple driver statistics are recorded and displayed on the network for all to see.

An approach is provided for providing mobility insight data related to shared vehicles for a point of interest (POI). The approach involves retrieving shared vehicle data for the POI. The shared vehicle data indicates one or more shared vehicle events that have occurred, that are occurring at a given time, or a combination thereof within a threshold proximity of the POI. The approach also involves processing the shared vehicle data to determine mobility insight data. The mobility insight data includes a shared vehicle usage pattern, a shared vehicle availability pattern, or a combination thereof under one or more contexts for travel to or from the POI. The approach further involves presenting the mobility insight data in a location-based user interface.

The present invention includes methods, circuits, devices, systems and associated computer executable code for providing driver decision making support. According to some embodiments, there may be provided a driver decision support system, which may generate action recommendations to a commercial driver, such as a taxi driver, a cab driver, a limo driver or any other kind of driver who picks up and transports passengers or cargo on an ad hoc (or otherwise flexible/uncertain) basis.

A power generation system for wheeled objects comprises a generator mechanically coupled to one or more of the object's wheels to convert wheel rotational energy into electrical energy. The power generation system may comprise an electrical storage device configured to store the electrical power produced by the generator. Power from the generator and/or the electrical storage device can be used to provide power to other electrical systems in or on the object. In certain embodiments, the electrical storage device comprises a bank of high-capacity capacitors connected in series. Some embodiments use a control circuit, for example, to regulate the charging and discharging of the capacitor bank and to provide suitable voltages for other systems. The power generation system may be disposed within an object's wheel, such as a wheel of a shopping cart.

The present application discloses a method, device and system for automatic oiling of a long-distance transport vehicle. The method provided by the present application includes: obtaining, by a transport planning system at a network side, vehicle status information, transport mission information and highway port information of the vehicle before the long-distance transport vehicle starts from a highway port of departure; generating a transport plan according to the vehicle status information, the transport mission information and the highway port information, wherein the transport plan comprises at least one highway port to be stopped at, cargo quantity to be loaded at each highway port to be stopped at and oil mass to be filled at each highway port to be stopped at; and sending the transport plan to the vehicle.

Methods and systems for determining risk associated with operation of autonomous vehicles using autonomous communication are provided. According to certain aspects, autonomous operation features associated with a vehicle may be determined, including features associated with autonomous communication between vehicles or with infrastructure. This information may be used to determine risk levels for a plurality of features, which may be based upon test data regarding the features or actual loss data. Expected use levels and autonomous communication levels may further be determined and used with the risk levels to determine a total risk level associated with operation of the vehicle. The autonomous communication levels may indicate the types of communications, the levels of communication with other vehicles or infrastructure, or the frequency of autonomous communication. The total risk level may be used to determine or adjust aspects of an insurance policy associated with the vehicle.

A system receives confirmation that a vehicle has accepted automatic control imposition for a drive within a geo-fenced boundary. The system tracks travel of a plurality of vehicles, including the vehicle, within the geo-fenced boundary. The system may determine that the vehicle has a threshold likelihood of encountering at least one of another vehicle or a boundary of the geo-fence at a threshold speed or above and responsive to the determination, impose automatic control on the vehicle, including at least one of controlled braking or speed limiting.
