A method comprises determining a vectorized representation of positions of road agents and road geometry based on sensor data from a vehicle, inputting the vectorized representation of the positions of the road agents and the road geometry into a trained transformer network, predicting one or more road agent trajectories at one or more future time steps based on an output of the transformer network, predicting an acceleration of the vehicle at the one or more future time steps based on the predicted one or more road agent trajectories at the one or more future time steps, and causing the vehicle to perform the predicted acceleration at the one or more future time steps.

One or more driving analysis computing devices in a driving analysis system may be configured to analyze driving data, determine driving behaviors, and determine whether a collision is imminent or has occurred using vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications. Determination of whether a collision has occurred may be based on X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis positional data from two vehicles. Driving data from multiple vehicles may be collected by vehicle sensors or other vehicle-based systems, transmitted using V2V communications, and then analyzed and compared to determine various driving behaviors by the drivers of the vehicles.

A method of transferring data between an autonomous vehicle and a vehicle traffic control infrastructure system. The method includes receiving, by a communication device of a vehicle, a data payload for a smart traffic control infrastructure node. The method includes, by a computing device of the vehicle: determining that the vehicle is or will be within a communication range of the smart traffic control infrastructure node, determining a length of time that the vehicle will be in the communication range of the smart traffic control infrastructure node, and assembling a communication package with at least a portion of the data payload that can be transferred in the determined length of time. The method includes, by a communication device of the vehicle when the vehicle has an ad hoc communication link with the smart traffic control infrastructure node, transmitting the assembled communication package to the smart node.

A system for identifying desired information from collected sensor data includes a collection device and a processing module. The collection device collects sensor data, coarsely filters the sensor data according to predefined rules to generate filter matched data, and securely transmits the filter matched data to the processing module. The processing module finely filters the filter matched data to generate desired information, provides the desired information to an authorized actor, and deletes the filter matched data.

A method for determining a transportation mode acquires magnetometer and speed data from a mobile device, correlates the magnetometer to the speed data in groupings, and performs spectral analysis on the groups of magnetometer data. Energy calculated for each of a set of frequency components obtained from the spectral analysis is compared to a baseline value to generate a difference, and a transportation mode type is assigned to the vehicle based on the difference.

A method, system and apparatus for accessing an internal database that includes at least one payroll database, identifying an individual, a first location, a second location, a future date, and a time of day. Responsive to identifying the individual, the first location, the second location, the date, and the time of day, determining a predicted travel time for the individual between the first location and the second location at the time of day on the future date.

Aspects of the disclosure provide for reducing inconvenience to other road users caused by stopped autonomous vehicles. As an example, a vehicle having an autonomous driving mode may be stopped at a first location. While the vehicle is stopped, sensor data is received from a perception system of the vehicle. The sensor data may identify a road user. Using the sensor data, a value indicative of a level of inconvenience to the road user caused by stopping the vehicle at the first location may be determined. The vehicle is controlled in the autonomous driving mode to cause the vehicle to move from the first location and in order to reduce the value.

According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for using mobile devices for anomaly detection in a vehicle. The present invention may include a computer receives sensor data from at least one mobile device associated with the vehicle, where the mobile device having one or more sensors. The computer analyzes data from the one or more sensors to identify an anomaly associated with the vehicle. The computer identifies a message associated with the anomaly. The computer determines an urgency value of the message based on the anomaly. The computer transfers the message with the urgency value to the vehicle and causes the vehicle to notify the message using a vehicle notification device.

A traffic information processing equipment, system and method. The traffic information processing equipment includes an image recognition and decision device and a warning device. The image recognition and decision device is configured to process a received traffic route image to identify a scene, and determine whether to perform a warning operation according to the scene to obtain a determination result. The warning device is configured to generate warning information according to the determination result for sending prompt information to vehicles in a traffic route.

This application discloses an object control system (OCS) to control navigation of a moving vehicle when exiting from its own road or freeway to a new road or freeway. The new road or freeway is an underpass or overpass and have no physical junction with the moving vehicle's own road or freeway. The moving vehicles obtains its navigation information data from the IoT network it is registered with and a plurality of stationary objects near and in vicinity of an exit. The stationary objects during the time slots assigned to them by OCS transmit variety of information data that assist moving vehicle navigating to the right lane and exit. These stationary objects also provide an operation information data that is used in the new road or freeway in case the vehicle exits to a road or freeway that belongs to a new cell with different operation information data.
