The method for assisting a person in operating in a dynamic environment may form part of a mobility assistance system. The method comprises a step of acquiring sensor data comprising a time sequence of at least two consecutive images of the dynamic environment from at least one sensor, for example a camera. Optical flows are calculated based on the at least two consecutive images. Feature scores associated to spatial positions for selected regions in an image space are determined in order to generate a feature score field. An output signal including directional stimulus information is generated based on the generated feature score field, wherein the directional stimulus information comprises information on relative spatial relations between the selected regions. The generated output signal is provided to at least one actuator, which signals the directional stimulus information to the person.

Examples relate to digital context aware (DCA) data collection. In some examples, a DCA start location component is positioned at a first location along a travel route, and a DCA end location component is positioned at a second location along the travel route. In response to using a wireless interface to detect the DCA start location component, data collection of measurements by a sensor are initiated. In response to using the wireless interface to detect the DCA end location component, the data collection by the sensor is halted.

A control device 20 of a rideable mobile body 1 determines a target speed of the rideable mobile body 1 according to at least the steering operation by a rider, and controls the travel of the rideable mobile body 1 according to the target speed. In the processing for determining a target speed, the target speed is restricted according to the positional relationship between a virtual wall set in a travel environment of the rideable mobile body 1 and the rideable mobile body 1. Thus, the comfort of the rider is secured while the travel of the rideable mobile body is restricted by the virtual wall.

A distributed control system includes a remote control system configured to be communicatively coupled with plural separate vehicle systems. The remote control system is configured to remotely control operation of the vehicle systems and/or communicate with the local vehicle control system or operator. The remote control system also is configured to one or more of change how many of the vehicle systems are concurrently controlled by the remote control system or change how many remote operators of the remote control system concurrently control the same vehicle system of the vehicle systems.

A moving sensor management unit is configured to provide, to a user, sensing data generated by a sensing device attached to a mobile object, and includes a run operation information storage unit configured to store run operation information of the mobile object, a run operation information update unit configured to, when a request to change the run operation information is received, update the run operation information stored in the run operation information storage unit, in accordance with the change request, and a first output control unit configured to output, in response to a provision request to provide sensing data that is based on the run operation information, sensing data corresponding to the provision request, to the user.

A vehicle controller that is located on a vehicle, the vehicle controller including: a client communications device for communicating, over a satellite link, with a server communications device in a vehicle control centre that is remote from the vehicle controller; and a vehicle control device arranged to control the movement of the vehicle in response to data received by the client communications device over the satellite link, such that the movement of the vehicle in one or more convoys of vehicles is dependent on received data by the client communications device.
