An authentication unit of an information processing apparatus authenticates an update control device that controls update of a control program by using a random number generated by a random number generation unit. In the random number generation unit, a first extraction unit extracts a bit value from a count value of a first clock signal, a calculation unit performs logical operation on the bit value extracted by the first extraction unit and a target bit value at a bit position included in an entropy as an update position that is designated, a replacement unit replaces the bit value at the update position with a result of the logical operation a position designation unit designates a new update position after the bit value is replaced, and an output unit generates the random number from the entropy.

The present disclosure relates to a control system for selectively controlling a vehicle, ensuring high integrity of decisions taken by the control system when controlling the vehicle. The present disclosure also relates to a corresponding computer implemented method and to a computer program product.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for a method, including: receiving multi-dimensional event data associated with a vehicle event; determining, based on the multi-dimensional event data, an inspection classification for the vehicle event; receiving multi-dimensional analysis data associated with the inspection classification for the vehicle event; determining, based on the multi-dimensional analysis data, a repair classification for the vehicle event; receiving multi-dimensional action data associated with the repair classification for the vehicle event; and determining, based on the multi-dimensional action data, a monitoring classification for the vehicle event.

A method for remaining useful life prediction includes generating parameter data related to a performance of an electro-mechanical element. The method includes generating simulated behavior data of the electro-mechanical element by executing a digital-twin simulation model based on estimated operating conditions, and generating deviation data that characterizes how the parameter data deviates from the simulated behavior data. The deviation data includes a deterministic component and a stochastic component. The method includes generating extrapolated deviation data by extrapolating the deterministic component and the stochastic component of the deviation data forward in time, calculating a remaining useful life of the electro-mechanical element in response to the extrapolated deviation data, and reporting the remaining useful life to a person associated with the vehicle.

A system and method are described for controlling a vehicle interior environmental condition. A biometric sensor senses a biometric condition of a vehicle seat occupant and generates a sensed biometric condition value. A controller receives the sensed biometric condition value, a sensed interior environmental condition value, and a sensed exterior environmental condition value. Each of multiple exterior environmental condition values has an associated biometric condition value defined as optimal for the vehicle occupant. The controller determines the optimal biometric condition value associated with the sensed exterior environmental condition value, compares the optimal biometric condition value to the sensed biometric condition value, and in response to a difference between the optimal biometric condition value and the sensed biometric condition value, generates a control signal to control an actuator to control the controllable interior environmental condition to reduce the difference between sensed biometric condition value and the optimal biometric condition value.

A vehicle includes a computing device configured to detect an object in an external environment via an external sensor. The computing device determines a trajectory for navigation relative the object based on a trust zone. The trust zone is selected based on a trust parameter. The computing device instructs a display device to render a representation of the object and the trajectory relative the object, and determines whether to modify the trust parameter based on feedback data received in response to navigation.

A method includes determining a test drive script (TDS) to perform while a tool monitors an electronic system in a mobile machine during a test drive of the mobile machine. The TDS includes an ordered sequence of drive cycle procedures (DCPs). The ordered sequence of DCPs begins with an initial DCP and ends with a final DCP. Each DCP is indicative of a respective mobile machine state. The TDS includes a first particular DCP associated with both a first particular mobile machine state and a first condition pertaining to the first particular mobile machine state. The method also includes outputting a representation of at least a portion of the TDS. Additionally, the method includes determining and outputting one or more of: status information corresponding to achieving the first particular mobile machine state or status information corresponding to achieving the first condition pertaining to the first particular mobile machine state.

A mobile delivery apparatus is provided. Another aspect provides a software program used with a mobile delivery apparatus. Still another aspect includes a mobile delivery system utilizing a smart carousel dispenser. An aspect of the mobile delivery apparatus includes a delivery vehicle having a motor operable to drive terrestrial wheels of the delivery vehicle, a cargo box section, a carousel positioned in the cargo box section, and a plurality of storage bins positioned on the carousel. A further aspect includes at least one scanner positioned adjacent a first access door and configured to scan the bins and the parcels held in the bins as the carousel rotates. Yet another aspect employs a controller to rotate the carousel and selectively align one or more of the storage bins with a second access door.

Described herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for self-detection of a fault condition by a vehicle component, generation of a device health code that includes multiple tiers of information relating to the fault condition experienced by the vehicle component, and broadcasting of the device health code to one or more other vehicle components via one or more vehicle communication networks. A recommended vehicle response measure indicated by a reaction code in the device health code can then be taken or alternate vehicle response may be selected and initiated based on an evaluation of current vehicle operational data.
