Traffic control system
A traffic control system includes at least one traffic signal, an aircraft and a ground control station. The aircraft includes a position sensor and a wireless communication device. The ground control station includes an electronic controller and a wireless communication device. The electronic controller is configured to control the at least one traffic signal based on at least one of position data of the aircraft and direction data of the aircraft.
Systems and methods for assisting a maneuver of a moving object
A system for assisting a maneuver of a moving object is provided. The system includes a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles, and a computing device comprising a controller configured to: identify a maneuver location of the moving object based on location information associated with the moving object, determine one or more unmanned aerial vehicles among the plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles based on a proximity of the maneuver location and the plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles, dispatch the one or more unmanned aerial vehicles to the maneuver location, and transmit an instruction signal to the one or more unmanned aerial vehicles, wherein the instruction signal causes the one or more unmanned aerial vehicles to generate an indication configured to assist one or more vehicles approaching the maneuver location.
Vehicle, and unmanned aerial system and method including the same
A vehicle includes: a vehicle sensor configured to sense surroundings; a communication device configured to communicate with a telematics service server; and a controller configured to carry an unmanned aerial apparatus which is a collaboration object transmitted from the telematics service server. In particular, the controller controls the vehicle to move in collaboration with the unmanned aerial apparatus.

STEERING ASSEMBLY FOR MICROMOBILITY TRANSIT VEHICLES
In one embodiment, a micromobility transit vehicle may include a steering assembly. The steering assembly may include a steer tube configured to rotate within a headtube of the micromobility transit vehicle, and a stiffening brace positioned about the headtube. A stem may be coupled to the steer tube and the stiffening brace and configured to rotationally lock the stem and the stiffening brace together. A preload assembly may be coupled to the steering assembly and the stem and configured to adjust a preload of the steering assembly.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRACKING, PROCESSING, AND INTEGRATING AIRPORT GROUND VEHICLE POSITION DATA INTO THE AUTOMATIC DEPENDENT SURVEILLANCE-BROADCAST (ADS-B) NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE
A method and system for tracking the real-time positions of airport ground vehicles, and integrating the positional data into the Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) network infrastructure. The system may include one or more ground receiver stations that receives positional telemetry data from one or more airport ground vehicles, and transmits the ground vehicle positional data to a centralized ground base station. A computer system connected to the ground base aggregates the ground vehicle telemetry data from one or more ground vehicles, converts the aggregate telemetry data into an ADS-B compatible data protocol, and integrates that data into the ADS-B network infrastructure for dissemination and reporting across the ADS-B network. The method enables the use of and dissemination of ADS-B information for ground vehicles without the need for ADS-B transponders on each ground vehicle.
