An autonomous driving method, an autonomous driving apparatus, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computer program product are provided. The method includes: receiving first driving-related information of a first road section ahead of a road on which a first vehicle currently drives and information about a parking waiting area that are sent by a network side device, where the parking waiting area is used to park the first vehicle before the first vehicle drives into the first road section (S304); then determining, based on the first driving-related information, that the first road section does not meet an autonomous driving condition requirement of the first vehicle (S305); finally, controlling the first vehicle to drive into the parking waiting area (S306).

A computing framework for addressing a variety of vehicle conditions includes receiving, from a first set of sensors by an edge compute node, first transportation network data associated with a transportation network region, receiving, from a second set of sensors by a cloud computing node, second transportation network data associated multiple transportation network regions, providing, by the edge compute node to one or more autonomous vehicles at the transportation network region, real-time transportation network region information based on at least the first transportation network data to facilitate control decisions by the one or more autonomous vehicles, and providing, by the cloud computing node to at least the one or more autonomous vehicles, non-real-time transportation network region information based on at least the second transportation network data to facilitate the control decisions by the at least one or more autonomous vehicles.

A boarding/deboarding point providing system includes a probe vehicle group, a data server, and an on-board unit or a mobile terminal. When vehicle data transmitted from the probe vehicle group are input, the data server extracts a boarding/deboarding point suitable for boarding a vehicle or deboarding a vehicle from the vehicle data, and stores the point while updating the boarding/deboarding point information database. When a request for boarding/deboarding point information is received from the on-board unit or the mobile terminal, the boarding/deboarding point information stored in the boarding/deboarding point information database is searched for a boarding/deboarding point that meets the request conditions, and the search result that includes the boarding/deboarding point is transmitted to the on-board unit or the mobile terminal.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for monitoring a dedicated roadway the runs in parallel to a railroad. In some implementations, a system includes a central server, an interface, and sensors. The interface receives data from a railroad system that manages the railroad parallel to the dedicated roadway. The sensors are positioned in a fixed location relative to the dedicated roadway. Each sensor can detect vehicles in a first field of view on the dedicated roadway. For each detected vehicle, each sensor can generate sensor data based on the detected vehicle in the dedicated roadway and the data received at the interface. Each sensor can generate observational data and instruct the detected vehicle to switch to an enhanced processing mode. Each sensor can determine an action for the detected vehicle to take based on the generated observational data.

Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to generating a notification about a risk of a target vehicle toppling over due to wind. In one embodiment, a method includes determining a wind force of the wind at a location of the target vehicle and determining one or more characteristics of the target vehicle. The method includes determining whether there is a risk of the target vehicle toppling over based on the wind force of the wind and the one or more characteristics of the target vehicle. The method includes generating a notification about the risk.

The present disclosure relates to a method for the fully automated guidance of a motor vehicle by a vehicle system in a driving situation of at least one driving situation class, wherein the vehicle system has a control device and accesses position data of a position sensor. The method starts with providing a traffic rule database in which traffic rule sets for a plurality of geographic regions are stored in a machine-readable formal language and which can be accessed by the control device, and determining a geographical region currently traveled by the motor vehicle based on the current position data and retrieving a traffic rule set for the currently traveled geographical region from the traffic rule database via the control device. After or upon determination of a trajectory currently to be traveled by the control device, the vehicle system will verify the trajectory for compliance with traffic rules using the retrieved traffic rule set for the geographic region currently traveled by the control device, wherein the trajectory currently to be traveled is adjusted in the event of non-compliance, and guide the motor vehicle based on the trajectory currently to be traveled.

Embodiments of the present disclosure set forth techniques for providing speed limit information to a vehicle. In an aspect, a computer-implemented method includes receiving, from a vehicle, navigation information associated with the vehicle; determining one or more predicted positions associated with the vehicle based on the navigation information; determining one or more candidate map regions associated with the vehicle based on the one or more predicted positions; associating corresponding speed limit information with each of the one or more candidate map regions; and transmitting, to the vehicle, the one or more candidate map regions; wherein the one or more candidate map regions are usable by the vehicle to provide speed limit information to a driver of the vehicle.

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.

A facility for providing vehicle to vehicle event notification for connected and/or unconnected vehicles is disclosed. The facility enables a vehicle to detect an occurrence of a vehicle status trigger event and identify information describing an event type. The facility determines a priority of the vehicle status event based at least in part on the type of the vehicle status event. When the vehicle status event is to be reported to at least one other vehicle, the facility enables the vehicle to generate a vehicle status event message that includes the priority of the vehicle status event and at least a portion of the information describing the type of the vehicle status event. The vehicle status event message is then transmitted/broadcasted to at least one other vehicle.

Various aspects of a system and method for driving assistance along a path are disclosed herein. In accordance with an embodiment, a unique identifier is received from a communication device at an electronic control unit (ECU) of a first vehicle. The unique identifier is received when the first vehicle has reached a first location along a first portion of the path. A communication channel is established between the first vehicle and the communication device based on the received unique identifier. Data associated with a second portion of the path is received by the ECU from the communication device based on the established communication channel. Alert information associated with the second portion of the path is generated by the ECU based on the received data.
