Methods and systems for assessing, detecting, and responding to malfunctions involving components of autonomous vehicles and/or smart homes are described herein. Malfunctions may be detected by receiving sensor data from a plurality of sensors. One of these sensors may be selected for assessment. An electronic device may obtain from the selected sensor a set of signals. When the set of signals includes signals that are outside of a determined range of signals associated with proper functioning for the selected sensor, it may be determined that the selected sensor is malfunctioning. In response, an action may be performed to resolve the malfunction and/or mitigate consequences of the malfunction.

A method for creating a seamless scalable geological model may comprise identifying one or more geological scales, establishing a geological tied system, identifying one or more graphical resolution levels for each of the one or more geological scales, constructing the seamless scalable geological model, and producing a post-process model. A system for creating a seamless scalable geological model may comprise an information handling system, which may comprise a random access memory, a graphics module, a main memory, a secondary memory, and one or more processors configured to run a seamless scalable geological model software.

Methods and systems for autonomous vehicle recharging or refueling are disclosed. Autonomous vehicles may be automatically refueled by routing the vehicles to available fueling stations when not in operation, according to methods described herein. A fuel level within a tank of an autonomous vehicle may be monitored until it reaches a refueling threshold, at which point an on-board computer may generate a predicted use profile for the vehicle. Based upon the predicted use profile, a time and location for the vehicle to refuel the vehicle may be determined. In some embodiments, the vehicle may be controlled to automatically travel to a fueling station, refill a fuel tank, and return to its starting location in order to refuel when not in use.

A system which provides disaster notification contents includes: a DNC collecting module configured to communicate with a disaster notification contents (DNC) sending agency server and collect various DNCs; a DNC sending determination module configured to read the DNC collected by the DNC collecting module, check a DNC-related area, compare the DNC-related area with a preset user disaster interest area, and determine users whose disaster interest area matches the DNC-related area as DNC sending target users among the pre-stored users based on the result of comparison; and a DNC sending processing module configured to communicate with the DNC sending determination module, read the DNC sending target users list determined as DNC sending target users, and send the DNC collected by the DNC collecting module to the user information device owned by users included in the DNC sending target user list.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for accessing and extracting data from several sources and analyzing rate data to perform underwriting and de-risking calculations to generate bindable insurance quotes. The method includes receiving a property address from a user. The system may be configured to receive data relating to the property and person seeking insurance coverage through third-party or internal data sources. The system may then be configured to receive property data and demographic data from one or more data sources, normalize and parse the data, analyze the data based on a set of underwriting rules, rating rules, and de-risking rules, and determine an insurance premium quote that is bindable without having an agent involved at all.

The present disclosure relates generally to methods, systems and computer program storage devices for generating a response to flooding. In one specific example, the present disclosure relates to methods, systems and computer program storage devices for generating one or more operational responses to flooding.

A system, methodology, and programming logic for active stormwater controls to optimize sizing and design of Hydromodification Management (HM) structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) to achieve optimal flow duration control. Control logic enables the controlled release of stormwater from a BMP in a manner most akin to pre-development flow duration curves. Inputs to this logic include: flow duration curves based on continuous hydrologic simulation for pre- and post-development conditions; real-time measurement of water level within the BMP; and real-time measurement of discharge entering the BMP. This control logic can interact with control logic for other stormwater management objectives, such as harvest and reuse, infiltration, and combined sewer overflow prevention, and respective inputs, such as real-time weather forecast data, precipitation gage data, downstream flow gauge data, and water quality data, to meet those design objectives as well. New HM BMPs can be optimized to be smaller and, thus, more feasible to implement. Existing stormwater facilities designed for flood control or other management objectives can be retrofitted to provide hydromodification control as well. When utilized with real-time flow and water level monitoring equipment and data, the flow release logic can be adaptively adjusted without physical retrofit of the BMP's outlet.

A method includes displaying a user interface on a screen of a computing device of a homeowner, and receiving an input of an address for a property of the homeowner. The method also includes receiving global positioning system (GPS) data from the computing device, and verifying the address for the property based on the GPS data. The method also includes calculating probabilities for the property to have a flood event at hypothetical high water heights based on GPS located and mapped floodplain data relating to the property, flood zone map data relating to the property, and historical flood data for a region in which the property is located. The method also includes calculating fixed-value payout amounts based on an estimated elevation of the property, the probabilities for the property to have the flood event at the hypothetical high water heights, and estimated flood water depths in the property.
