The present invention relates to coordinating tasks in a distributed mesh of systems, such as between autonomous vehicles, multi-camera systems, IoT distributed node systems and/or modular factories in a variety of use cases. More particularly, the present invention relates to coordinating events in a distributed mesh of systems based on parameters and constraints and can be used to provide a messaging arrangement that allows distributed systems to communicate and ensure that tasks are completed within the distributed system and/or at one or more nodes within the distributed system. Aspects and/or embodiments seek to provide a method for coordinating machines/nodes/devices of a distributed network, without a centralised system component, by synchronising devices of a distributed system without using an absolute timestamp. Instead, a logical, event-based dependency tree is collaboratively constructed by the nodes of a distributed network to manage decisions at each node of a distributed network

An autonomous vehicle including a sensor system configured to detect an environment in a field of view of the autonomous vehicle and to output data of the detected environment. A computing system of the autonomous vehicle can detect that a portion of a roadway along a route of the autonomous vehicle in the field of view of the autonomous vehicle is obscured. Responsive to the detection of the obscured portion of the roadway, the computing system can transmit a request for a second autonomous vehicle to view the portion of the roadway. The computing system can receive fill data representative of an output of a second sensor system of the second autonomous vehicle detecting the portion of the roadway in a field of view of the second autonomous vehicle.

An intelligent transportation system (ITS) for a vehicle is described. The ITS includes: a packet count estimator arranged to receive broadcast ITS transmissions from a plurality of neighbouring vehicles and provide an indication of a number of packets received from the plurality of neighbouring vehicles, where the indication includes at least an information length and a data rate of the received packets; a fair resource allocator circuit operably coupled to the packet count estimator and configured to adjust at least one ITS broadcast transmission parameter of the ITS based on the indication of the number of received packets; and a transmitter operably coupled to the fair resource allocator circuit and configured to broadcast at least one ITS message using the adjusted at least one ITS broadcast transmission parameter.

Systems and methods for implementing one or more autonomous features for autonomous and semi-autonomous control of one or more vehicles are provided. More specifically, image data may be obtained from an image acquisition device and processed utilizing one or more machine learning models to identify, track, and extract one or more features of the image utilized in decision making processes for providing steering angle and/or acceleration/deceleration input to one or more vehicle controllers. In some instances, techniques may be employed such that the autonomous and semi-autonomous control of a vehicle may change between vehicle follow and lane follow modes. In some instances, at least a portion of the machine learning model may be updated based on one or more conditions.

An embodiment relates to a method for UE operation related to platooning in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: transmitting a negotiation message including first vehicle function information to one or more UEs corresponding to a platooning member by a UE corresponding to a platooning leader; receiving a negotiation response message including second vehicle function information from at least one UE among the one or more UEs; selecting a new platooning leader on the basis of the negotiation response message by the UE corresponding to the platooning leader; and transmitting, by the UE corresponding to the platooning leader, a notification message including information related to the new platooning leader, wherein the negotiation message is related to a request for changing the platooning leader.

An information processing device has an obtaining unit, a controller, and a giving unit. The obtaining unit can obtain vehicle information. The controller creates first warning information when the passability of a road in the vehicle information indicates non-passable. The controller creates recovery information when the passability of the road at the same position in the vehicle information indicates passable, after creation of the first warning information. The giving unit gives the recovery information.

Disclosed embodiments include technologies for improving safety mechanisms in computer assisted and/or automated driving (CA/AD) vehicles for protecting vulnerable road users (VRUs). Embodiments include Dynamic Contextual Road Occupancy Map (DCROM) for Perception aspects for VRU safety. Other embodiments are described and/or claimed.

An example operation includes one or more of receiving, by a server, first data from a transport experiencing a near accident with a device external to the transport, the first data comprising a location of the transport and information related to a maneuvering of the transport, determining, by the server, that the location of the transport is a dangerous location and the maneuvering of the transport constitutes the near accident based on the first data, and sending a first notification, by the server, to another transport proximate to the dangerous location, the first notification comprises information related to the dangerous location and the near accident.

A system for displaying information indicative of driving conditions, to a driver, using a smart ring are disclosed. An exemplary system includes a smart ring with a ring band having a plurality of surfaces including an inner surface, an outer surface, a first side surface, and a second side surface. The system further includes a processor, configured to obtain data from a communication module within the ring band, or from one or more sensors disposed within the ring band. The obtained data are representative of information indicative of one or more driving conditions to be displayed to the driver. The smart ring also includes an electronic ink (e-ink) display disposed on at least one of the plurality of surfaces, and configured to present information indicative of the one or more driving conditions.

Disclosed is a method in which a first vehicle transmits a message in a wireless communication system. In the method, a message is generated on the basis of a user input with respect to a steering apparatus of the first vehicle, and the generated message is transmitted to at least one second vehicle present near the first vehicle by means of the wireless communication system on the basis of a transmission direction and transmission width for the message. The transmission direction and transmission width are determined on the basis of the user input.
