A method and an apparatus for outputting signal light information are provided. The method may include: acquiring guidance information and positioning information of a terminal, where the guidance information includes a turning information piece of a turning at a nearest intersection along a traveling direction of the terminal; acquiring information pieces of a signal light at the nearest intersection of the terminal; determining, in response to determining that the terminal satisfies a preset position condition based on the positioning information, from the signal light information pieces, a signal light information piece corresponding to the turning information piece in the guidance information, and using the signal light information piece as a target signal light information piece; and outputting the target signal light information piece.

According to some aspects of the present disclosure, a method for system-optimal traffic routing is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes: obtaining a current state of a traffic network, determining a set of active agents in the traffic network that are configured to receive a system optimal route, where each of the active agents corresponds to a vehicle of a set of vehicles, applying a batching function to the set of vehicles to create a batch of vehicles for replanning; creating sub-batches based on a spatial relationship between the vehicles and temporal relationships between the vehicles, generating a plurality of alternative paths for each of the sub-batches, generating a batch assignment for each of the sub-batches, assigning an alternative path to each agent in the set of active agents based on the batch assignment function, and transmitting the assigned alternative paths to the active agents.

A method, a computer program product and a computer system update and share relevant event information among vehicles. The method includes acquiring event information by a device having a sensor. The method also includes classifying the event information as relevant to a vehicle. The method further includes the device transmitting the event information classified as relevant to a first intermediate storage device within a range of the first intermediate storage device. In addition, the method includes the first intermediate storage device transmitting the received event information to a node in a network. The network includes at least one other vehicle within a range of the first intermediate storage device and one or more other intermediate storage devices. Lastly, the method includes a vehicle receiving the event information classified as relevant and modifying the operation of the vehicle.

A system and method for presenting location-based augmented reality road signs on or within a vehicle includes a database, a plurality of transmitters, and a plurality of vehicle integrated receivers. The database is held in a computer network accessible location and stores a plurality of datasets. The plurality of transmitters are connected to the database through the computer network and broadcast area-relevant datasets from the database wirelessly in a defined geographic coverage area. The plurality of vehicle integrated receivers are operative to receive area-relevant datasets and use the information therein to determine when a particular road sign is required and then generate a standardized road sign image for the required road sign and display the image on or in the vehicle as an augmented reality projection.

Methods and systems are provided for generating a signal based on the information of the information system and transmitting/broadcasting the signal to the other vehicle. For example, a method includes receiving, by a processor, an indication that an information system of a vehicle is activated and in response to receiving the indication, generating, by the processor, a signal based on the activated information system of the vehicle. The method further includes broadcasting the signal.

Techniques for determining that a first vehicle is associated with a reverse state, and controlling a second vehicle based on the reverse state, are described herein. In some examples, the first vehicle may provide an indication that the first vehicle will be executing a reverse maneuver, such as with reverse lights on the vehicle or by positioning at an angle relative to a road or parking space to allow for the reverse maneuver into a desired location. A planning system of the second vehicle (such as an autonomous vehicle) may receive sensor data and determine a variety of these indications to determine a probability that the vehicle is going to execute a reverse maneuver. The second vehicle can further determine a likely trajectory of the reverse maneuver and can provide appropriate accommodations (e.g., time and/or space) to allow the second vehicle to execute the maneuver safely and efficiently.

A remote monitoring system (100) according to the present disclosure includes: an observation unit (101) configured to observe traffic in a network that corresponds to a movement section where a mobile object moves, the mobile object serving as a target to be monitored; and a specification unit (102) configured to divide the movement section on the basis of the observed traffic, and specify a delay jitter distribution in each divided section.

Embodiments relate to a system, program product, and method for dynamically providing navigation and transportation to individuals for passage from an emergency-stricken location to an emergency haven. Traffic of users from the emergency-stricken location to the emergency haven is dynamically regulated at least partially due to real-time traffic densities, predicted traffic densities, and the number of in transit users. In addition, a population of users at the emergency haven is dynamically regulated at least partially subject to an existing population and a predicted population at each emergency haven.

A method and an apparatus for outputting signal light information are provided. The method may include: acquiring guidance information and positioning information of a terminal, where the guidance information includes a turning information piece of a turning at a nearest intersection along a traveling direction of the terminal; acquiring information pieces of a signal light at the nearest intersection of the terminal; determining, in response to determining that the terminal satisfies a preset position condition based on the positioning information, from the signal light information pieces, a signal light information piece corresponding to the turning information piece in the guidance information, and using the signal light information piece as a target signal light information piece; and outputting the target signal light information piece.

A computer-implemented method of generating and broadcasting telematics and/or image data is provided. Telematics and/or image data may be collected, with customer permission, in real-time by a mobile device (or a Telematics App running thereon) traveling within an originating vehicle. The telematics data may include acceleration, braking, speed, heading, and location data associated with the originating vehicle. The mobile device may generate an updated telematics data broadcast including up-to-date telematics data at least every few seconds; and then broadcast the updated telematics data broadcast at least every few seconds via wireless communication to another computing device to facilitate alerting another vehicle or driver of an abnormal traffic condition or event that the originating vehicle is experiencing. An amount that an insured uses or otherwise employs the telematics data-based risk mitigation or prevention functionality may be used with usage-based insurance, or to calculate or adjust insurance premiums or discounts.
