A parking location guidance apparatus includes a vehicle detector that detects a vehicle entering a parking lot having a plurality of gates, a departure information reflecting device that reflects leaving time information and destination information of the vehicle, an exit-specific time reflecting device calculates a time required for the vehicle to exit for each gate based on the leaving time information and the destination information, and a parking location guidance device that selects, as a parking location, a location adjacent to an optimal gate, from among the gates, according to the time required for the vehicle to exit for each gate and transmits the parking location to the vehicle.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for monitoring a dedicated roadway the runs in parallel to a railroad. In some implementations, a system includes a central server, an interface, and sensors. The interface receives data from a railroad system that manages the railroad parallel to the dedicated roadway. The sensors are positioned in a fixed location relative to the dedicated roadway. Each sensor can detect vehicles in a first field of view on the dedicated roadway. For each detected vehicle, each sensor can generate sensor data based on the detected vehicle in the dedicated roadway and the data received at the interface. Each sensor can generate observational data and instruct the detected vehicle to switch to an enhanced processing mode. Each sensor can determine an action for the detected vehicle to take based on the generated observational data.

A method for determining a lateral position of a vehicle passing a road and carrying a transponder uses at least two antennas mounted at different lateral positions and connected to a processor and comprises: triggering the transponder and recording signals from responses of the transponder by the processor, each signal being received via one of the antennas and recorded as i) a time of receipt at said one antenna and ii) the lateral position of said one antenna; generating by the processor a regression curve fitting all recorded signals; and determining by the processor the lateral position of the vehicle from the generated regression curve. An apparatus implementing said method is also disclosed.

A method for providing a service linked to the condition and/or behavior of a vehicle and/or of a tire comprises the following steps: when a vehicle passes a road infrastructure equipped with a system for assessing the condition of a vehicle, determining an identifier of the vehicle and/or of a tire of the vehicle, at the same time, determining at least one parameter representative of the condition of the vehicle and/or of a component of the vehicle, transmitting the determined data to a remote data server, from the identification data, retrieving external data concerning the vehicle and/or the tire and/or the running conditions, combining the determined information with the external data such as to determine a relevant indicator concerning the condition and/or the behavior of a vehicle, and transmitting the relevant indicator to a provider of a service linked to the condition and/or to the behavior of a vehicle and/or of a tire.

Provided is an infrastructure and a vehicle for communicating with the same. The infrastructure recognizes a first area and a second area, and when a proportion of the second area of the image information is greater than or equal to a reference proportion, controls first and second adjusters to change a photographing area of a camera. The vehicle recognizes a hidden area, when a proportion of the hidden area is greater than or equal to a reference proportion, transmits an adjustment command of the first camera to the infrastructure, and when the proportion of the hidden area is less than the reference proportion. The vehicle matches an image of the hidden area to second image information of the second camera to generate a top view image.

Systems and methods of unsafe driving detection are provided which share partial unsafe driving behavior analyses with others in order to ensure that unsafe driving behavior is detected as early as possible. For example, in response to an event which interrupts a first detecting vehicle from collecting additional driving behavior data associated with a subject vehicle, the first detecting vehicle may transfer driving behavior data it has already collected and processed, to another detecting entity (e.g., a second detecting vehicle) in observable range of the subject vehicle.

An example operation includes one or more of determining a first transport attempting to access a bay with a charging station can utilize the charging station and has a higher priority than a second transport utilizing the charging station in the bay and notifying the second transport to cease utilizing the charging station and to vacate the bay after a time.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, an apparatus and a device for an illegal vehicle warning. The method includes: detecting an illegal vehicle in a preset area; and performing the illegal vehicle warning on a target vehicle entering the preset area according to vehicle information of a detected illegal vehicle in the preset area. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the traffic control unit detects the illegal vehicle in the preset area, and the illegal vehicle warning is performed on the target vehicle entering the preset area according to the vehicle information of the detected illegal vehicle in the preset area, thereby avoiding or mitigating the collision of the target vehicle with the illegal vehicle, and improving the traffic safety of the target vehicle.

An apparatus for analyzing a payload being transported in a load carrying container of a vehicle is disclosed. The apparatus includes a camera disposed to successively capture images of vehicles traversing a field of view of the camera. The apparatus also includes at least one processor in communication with the camera, the at least one processor being operably configured to select at least one image from the successively captured images in response to a likelihood of a vehicle and load carrying container being within the field of view in the at least one image, and image data associated with the least one image meeting a suitability criterion for further processing. The further processing includes causing the at least one processor to process the selected image to identify a payload region of interest within the image and to generate a payload analysis within the identified payload region of interest based the image data associated with the least one image.
