Cooperative advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS) and cooperative safety systems using vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications and methods of use. A method may comprise, by a guiding vehicle, periodically identifying an error of a nearby connected road-user and if an error is identified, transmitting a guidance message with guidance data using V2X communications to the connected road-user; and by the connected road-user as a guided road-user, using the guidance data to fix the error.

Mesh node modules are associated with vehicles and companion nodes can dynamically form a mesh network which uploads location information of the nodes and in some cases additional information, e.g., road condition or proximity to objects.

Systems, methods, devices and computer readable media for determining a geographical location of a license plate are described herein. A first image of a license plate is acquired by a first image acquisition device of a camera unit and a second image of the license plate is acquired by a second image acquisition device of the camera unit. A three-dimensional position of the license plate relative to the camera unit is determined based on stereoscopic image processing of the first image and the second image. A geographical location of the camera unit is obtained. A geographical location of the license plate is determined from the three-dimensional position of the license plate relative to the camera unit and the geographical location of the camera unit. Other systems, methods, devices and computer readable media for detecting a license plate and identifying a license plate are described herein.

A method of determining if an object is allowed to board or disembark a vehicle. The method includes determining an object to be a candidate for boarding or disembarking a vehicle at a vehicle stop along a vehicle route. An assignment status is automatically assigned, via a processor, to the object representing whether the object is allowed to board or disembark the vehicle at the stop. The assignment status is based on attributes associated with the object, the street and the stop. The attributes are predetermined and stored in at least one memory storage device. The assigned assignment status is communicated to an operator. Based on the assigned assignment status, the vehicle is designated to stop for the object to board or disembark the vehicle at the stop.

A wireless communication device disposed on a moving vehicle. The wireless communication device further includes a geographic location determination processor for determining a geographic location on a city map. The wireless communication device further receives a vehicle location and arrival schedule request for sending a message to a passenger waiting for the vehicle for providing the geographic location on the city map and an estimated arrival time of the vehicle to a passenger waiting for the vehicle.

An information provision device transmits, by near field communication, fixed phrase information, of guidance information that guides a user, representative of a fixed phrase and insertion phrase information selected from among a plurality of pieces of insertion phrase information representative of different insertion phrases to be inserted in the fixed phrase, to a terminal device capable of presenting, to the user, presentation information corresponding to the guidance information where the insertion phrase represented by the insertion phrase information is inserted in the fixed phrase represented by the fixed phrase information.
