ROUTE DETERMINATION DEVICE AND VEHICLE DISPATCH SYSTEM
A server includes a communication device and a processor. From a user terminal, the communication device acquires a vehicle dispatch request including information indicating a vehicle dispatch location and a destination of a vehicle. When the communication device acquires the vehicle dispatch request, the processor determines a traveling route of the vehicle from a current location of the vehicle to the destination via the vehicle dispatch location in accordance with the vehicle dispatch request. The processor determines a route from the current location to the vehicle dispatch location such that an amount of power storage in a power storage device at the vehicle dispatch location is larger than an amount of electric power with which the vehicle can travel from the vehicle dispatch location to the destination.
PROCESSING UNIT AND METHOD THEREIN FOR MANAGING ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN A VEHICLE
A method for managing energy consumption in a vehicle along a first route from a source location to a first target destination includes estimating an energy consumption, E.sub.PC, of the vehicle travelling from the source location to the first target destination along the first route. In case the amount of energy, E.sub.TOTAL, available in the vehicle is not on a level above E.sub.C that ensures arrival of the vehicle at the first target destination according to a first determined level of certainty, an estimated energy consumption, E.sub.AUX, of each auxiliary system on-board the vehicle for the first route, and an energy utilization information, EU.sub.INFO, indicating a priority level of each auxiliary system on-board the vehicle for the first route is obtained. An energy consumption adaption sequence of the auxiliary systems is determined for the first route based on the obtained E.sub.AUX and EU.sub.INFO of each auxiliary system such that E.sub.TOTAL is maintained on a level above E.sub.PC that ensures arrival of the vehicle at the first target destination according to a second determined level of certainty.
ROUTE GUIDANCE METHOD AND DEVICE USING AUGMENTED REALITY VIEW
A method of obtaining a route from a point of departure to a destination includes providing route guidance through an augmented reality (AR) view including an image captured by a camera. To provide route guidance, as a user terminal moves toward a destination on the basis of an obtained route, when an interaction occurs between the user terminal and a node or a link in which predetermined information included in the route is registered, content associated with the predetermined information is augmented and displayed as guidance information on an image of an AR view.
Multi-Computer System for Dynamically Detecting and Identifying Hazards
Systems, methods, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for providing hazard detection and broadcast functions are provided. In some examples, sensor data may be captured by a mobile device, vehicle, or the like. The data may be used to detect a hazard, identify a type of hazard, and the like. One or more users or groups of users for notification of the hazard may be identified and one or more notifications may be transmitted to users within the group.
Methods and systems for sun-aware vehicle routing
Example implementations may relate to sun-aware vehicle routing. In particular, a computing system of a vehicle may determine an expected position of the sun relative to a geographic area. Based on the expected position, the computing system may make a determination that travel of the vehicle through certain location(s) within the geographic area is expected to result in the sun being proximate to an object within a field of view of the vehicle's image capture device. Responsively, the computing system may generate a route for the vehicle in the geographic area based at least on the route avoiding travel of the vehicle through these certain location(s), and may then operate the vehicle to travel in accordance with the generated route. Ultimately, this may help reduce or prevent situations where quality of image(s) degrades due to sunlight, which may allow for use of these image(s) as basis for operating the vehicle.
Portable terminal device, and search system
The present application includes a search route processor that calculates a plurality of search routes between locations of a plurality of searchers belonging to a predetermined area and a search target based on position information of the search target acquired from a position information terminal held by the search target, and a plurality of portable terminals that is held by the plurality of searchers and displays the plurality of search routes calculated by the search route processor and personal information that identifies the search target.
Methods and systems for generation and utilization of supplemental stored energy for use in transport climate control
Methods and systems for operating a transport climate control system of a vehicle are provided. The method includes obtaining a state of charge of an energy storage device capable of providing power to the transport climate control system; determining an energy level including the state of charge, receiving a planned route for the vehicle, and receiving route status data associated with the planned route for the vehicle. The route status data includes traffic data, weather data, and/or geographic data identifying areas where the transport climate control system is to be solely powered by the energy storage device. The method further includes determining whether the energy level is sufficient to complete the planned route for the vehicle based on the planned route and the route data, and when the energy level is not sufficient to complete the planned route for the vehicle, providing a notification to a user via a display.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SITUATIONAL BEHAVIOR OF AN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE
Systems and methods for situational behavior of an autonomous vehicle are disclosed. In one aspect, an autonomous vehicle includes at least one perception sensor configured to generate perception data indicative of at least one other vehicle on a roadway, a non-transitory computer readable medium, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine that the other vehicle is violating one or more rules of the roadway based on the perception data, tag the other vehicle as a non-compliant driver, and modify control of the autonomous vehicle in response to tagging the other vehicle as a non-compliant driver.
Driving Control Method and Apparatus
A driving control method and apparatus are provided. The method may be applied to the intelligent vehicle field such as intelligent driving/automatic driving. The driving control method includes, after calculating a conventional path in a conventional map, the driving control apparatus searches a high-definition map for a high-definition path that matches the conventional path, and if yes, performs real-time navigation broadcast by using the conventional path, and performs automatic driving by using the found high-definition path. The driving control method and apparatus use advantages of the conventional map, for example, rich road sections and updated real-time traffic information, a more proper calculated conventional path, and a better effect of real-time navigation broadcast, and implement automatic vehicle driving by using a high-definition path, to reduce user operations, thereby improving user experience.
VEHICLE ROUTING WITH DYNAMIC SELECTION OF TURNS ACROSS OPPOSING TRAFFIC
Systems, methods, and other embodiments for vehicle route scheduling and navigation with dynamic selection of turns across opposing traffic are presented herein. In one embodiment, a method includes during development of a vehicle route from an arrival link through a node of a graph representing a road network, determining, for a departure link, that a path of the vehicle from the arrival link to the departure link crosses oncoming traffic, and in response to determining that that the path of the vehicle crosses oncoming traffic, adding an additional delay for the departure link to a route objective function representing the vehicle route; selecting the route including the path that crosses oncoming traffic to be an optimum route between a first location and a second location; including the optimum route in the delivery schedule for the vehicle; and transmitting the delivery schedule for execution.
