The invention relates to a method for adjusting a display view of a vision aid system (1) of a vehicle (10), the method comprising the following steps: —(S1) identifying a specific situation when the vision aid system should be utilized; —(S2) receiving a display view setting for the specific situation, wherein the display view setting is based on at least one previous display view setting from at least one other vision aid system of another vehicle which has experienced the specific situation, wherein the at least one previous display view setting relates to the specific situation; and —(S3) adjusting the display view of the vision aid system (1) in accordance with the received display view setting. The present invention also relates to a system, to a method for receiving and transmitting display view settings to a fleet of vehicles (100) having vision aid systems, to a system (20) for receiving and transmitting display view settings to a fleet of vehicles (100), to a computer program and/or to a computer readable medium carrying the computer program.

The present method permits to get real-time traffic data by the mean of pictures took by a series of georeferenced and synchronized high speed cameras installed on the portions of the road. These pictures and these data will be transferable by a secure means such as 5G or any other fast and secure technology on a server and accessible by cloud computing. Picture processing is carried out by photogrammetric, triangulation and picture recognition approaches in order to extract the position of each vehicle, pedestrian, cyclist or any object and identify its x, y, z coordinates in a local or global referencing system. This method permits to count the flow of traffic (vehicles, pedestrians, etc.) passing through these roads portions, to reproduce the real movements of vehicles, pedestrians and any object moving on a road, make simulations with a computer and intervene remotely in real-time to manage traffic.

A method of processing speed data is disclosed for use in the provision of enhanced map data including a plurality of navigable segments which together may define a navigable route in an area covered by a digital map. In at least one embodiment, the method includes (i) obtaining the speed data for at least one segment, the speed data including the measured speed of travel of a plurality of vehicles through the segment at different times; (ii) generating from the speed data for the at least one segment, data on at least one normal speed profile including an average speed of travel through the segment for a time recurring weekly; (iii) for at least one specified time, generating for the at least one segment data on at least one abnormal speed profile including an expected speed of travel through the segment during the specified time, the specified time being a time that does not occur weekly; and (iv) assigning to the at least one segment of the map data the corresponding normal speed profile and the abnormal speed profile for use by a navigation device in routing algorithms to determine a journey across the area.

Methods and a system are described for prioritizing the upload of connected vehicle map data in a central mapping system. A central mapping unit includes a central server which receives and processes data uploads by priority order, from highest priority to lowest priority. The uploaded data is compared to central map data to determine whether the central map requires updating. When the central mapping unit determines that there is not enough information to update the central map in a region, a priority list is updated to give high priority to data collection in the region. The updated priority list is pushed to connected vehicles travelling in the region, which have external sensors for data collection in the surrounding environment. When a connected vehicle enters the region, its external sensors collect data regarding the region, which is uploaded to the central mapping unit with highest priority.

Methods and systems to predict object movement within a driving environment is disclosed. In one embodiment, one or more objects are detected within the driving environment. One or more predicted trajectories are computed for each of the objects based on map and route information to produce a set of predicted trajectories for the objects. The set of predicted trajectories is used to enumerate a number of combinations of predicted trajectories on which the objects possibly travel within the driving environment. A risk value is computed for each of the combinations to generate a number of corresponding risk values. An autonomous vehicle is controlled based on a combination having a lowest risk value included in the corresponding risk values.

An inspection method includes, with a sensor mounted in an infrastructure, measuring drive assisting information that is to be used to perform a drive assisting operation of a target vehicle that uses the infrastructure, transmitting the drive assisting information to the target vehicle, receiving, from the target vehicle, information of the infrastructure measured by the target vehicle, and inspecting the infrastructure using the information of the infrastructure.

A method for traffic monitoring for a monitoring location. The method has a step of outputting a display signal to a user interface. The display signal displays at least one image symbol, relating to at least one configurable parameter of the traffic monitoring, in a combined overview for the monitoring location via the user interface. The at least one image symbol can be influenced by gestural interaction with a user in order to configure the at least one configurable parameter. The method also includes reading in a user input signal from the user interface. The user input signal represents an input by the user, made by gestural interaction with the at least one image symbol and recognized by gesture recognition, to configure the at least one parameter. The method configures the at least one configurable parameter depending on the user input signal in order to set up traffic monitoring.

The present invention relates to a method for obtaining traffic information using the billing information of a mobile terminal. A specified number of a mobile terminal is obtained from billing information necessary for performing a billing operation when a telephone call is made using the mobile terminal on a highway (S61, S62 and S63). The moving time of the mobile terminal between base stations is tracked (S65), such that information of a traffic state on the highway can be obtained in real time (S66). The existing mobile communication network is employed to obtain the traffic information, such that the cost required for operating special vehicles for collecting traffic information and for obtaining traffic information from information providers can be reduced. Customer demand can be met as a measurement operations is continuously carried out and the traffic information abruptly changed is reflected in real time.

A computer includes a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to collect biometric data of a vehicle user, identify a set of user-specific data from one or more stored sets of user-specific data based on the biometric data, and receive a request for a stored location. When the biometric data of the vehicle user match the stored biometric data, the instructions include instructions to display the requested location. When the biometric data of the vehicle user do not match the stored biometric data, the instructions include instructions to identify an offset location based on the requested location and a population density of the requested location and display the offset location.
