IN-VEHICLE DEVICE AND INCIDENT MONITORING METHOD
An in-vehicle device is mounted on a vehicle capable of automated driving, and comprises an incident detection processing unit which acquires vehicle information representing a control state of the vehicle, and detects an incident that occurred in the vehicle based on the vehicle information.
MAP ACCURACY
In some implementations, a method performed by data processing apparatuses includes receiving stored map data corresponding to a digital map, identifying a discrepancy between the digital map and a physical space which the digital map represents, updating the digital map to correct the identified discrepancy, storing the updated digital map, and optionally providing the updated digital may for presentation on a device display.
VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
A vehicle control device includes: a recognizer configured to recognize a surrounding environment of a vehicle; a driving controller configured to perform driving control including at least one of speed control and steering control of the vehicle on the basis of a result of recognition from the recognizer; and an information acquirer configured to acquire surrounding environment information of the surrounding environment of the vehicle in a predetermined space on the basis of the result of recognition from the recognizer in a period after the vehicle enters the predetermined space and before the vehicle exits the predetermined space under the driving control of the driving controller, and to upload the acquired surrounding environment information to an external device.
SERVER DEVICE, TERMINAL DEVICE, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, INFORMATION RECEPTION METHOD, INFORMATION TRANSMISSION METHOD, INFORMATION RECEPTION PROGRAM, INFORMATION TRANSMISSION PROGRAM, RECORDING MEDIUM, AND DATA STRUCTURE
A server device efficiently acquires information of a surrounding area of a movable body for updating map information while suppressing communication load. Condition information indicating a condition of autonomous driving is received from a first movable body capable of autonomous driving based on a state of a surrounding area of the first movable body and a map, and a request for state information is transmitted to a second movable body capable of transmitting the state information indicating a state of a place where the first movable body has moved, and when the received condition information indicates that the autonomous driving has been possible, transmission of the request is prevented.
Aircrew Automation System and Method with Integrated Imaging and Force Sensing Modalities
An aircrew automation system may comprise an actuation system and a computer system having a processor and one or more interfaces. The computer system can be communicatively coupled with a flight control system of an aircraft and configured to generate control commands based at least in part on flight situation data. The actuation system is operatively coupled with the computer system and comprises a robotic arm, a force sensor, and a controller. The robotic arm can be configured to engage a cockpit instrument among a plurality of cockpit instruments. The force sensor is operably coupled to the robotic arm and configured to measure a force when the robotic arm makes contact with the cockpit instrument. The controller is operably coupled with the robotic arm and the force sensor.
VEHICLE POSITION ESTIMATION APPARATUS
A vehicle position estimation apparatus according to the present invention includes a painted line recognition result processing unit configured to calculate whether the vehicle has made a lane change and a direction of the lane change when the vehicle has made the lane change, a vehicle lateral position calculating unit configured to calculate a lane where the vehicle is in travel and a vehicle lateral position that is a lateral position of the vehicle in the lane based on whether the vehicle has made the lane change, the direction of the lane change, and a lane connection relation, and an on-map vehicle position calculating unit configured to calculate an on-map position of the vehicle on the road based on a map information, the lane where the vehicle is in travel, the vehicle lateral position, and a forward travel distance.
DRONE COORDINATION DEVICE, VEHICLE MANAGEMENT DEVICE, DRONE COORDINATION METHOD, AND PROGRAM
A drone coordination device includes an acquisitor which acquires an action plan from an automated vehicle and a determinator which determines a flight plan of a drone including a section in which the drone will be mounted on the automated vehicle on the basis of the action plan acquired by the acquisitor.
Method and system for displaying a position of a vehicle at a remotely located device
A system and method includes a mobile device having a mobile device identifier associated therewith and an in-vehicle infotainment system. The mobile device communicates the mobile device identifier to the in-vehicle infotainment system. A user device is controllable by inputs from a user though a user interface display associated with the user interface. A global positioning system generates a vehicle position signal at the vehicle. The user device is separate from the in-vehicle infotainment system and the global positioning system. The in-vehicle infotainment system communicates the vehicle position signal corresponding to a current vehicle position and the mobile device identifier to the user device. The user device is associated with a display displaying a map display comprising a map with a representation of the vehicle at the current vehicle position and the mobile device identifier of the mobile device.
