A lockout device that can be used independently and/or through a connected system that provides information and warnings of conventional lockout tag, while also able to actively provide information to a user and any other individual or device through a network in the system. The lockout device is paired with a user and enables audible and/or visual warnings to ensure notice of the lockout device as well as warnings to the user through the network of possible tampering.

Disclosed is a road speed limit identification method. The road speed limit identification method includes: obtaining a driving image captured during driving of a moving object; setting a region of interest in the obtained driving image and generating a grayscale-processed image on the basis of an image of the region of interest; detecting a speed limit sign image from the grayscale-processed image; calculating a first brightness value of a number region, a second brightness value of a border region, and a third brightness value of an in-border region other than the number region in the detected speed limit sign image; and identifying a speed limit displayed on a speed limit sign on the basis of the plurality of calculated brightness values.

Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for controlling positioning of visual sensors based on machine learned environmental conditions. One or more machine learning models are performed to determine environmental conditions based on receiving one or more visual sensor inputs. Position of one or more visual sensors are further caused to be changed in order to optimize visual sensing by the one or more visual sensors of visual information relevant to the environmental conditions.

A slope roller assembly attaches to a vehicle. The slope roller assembly includes an armature and a roller member. The armature is secured to the vehicle. The roller member is secured to the armature. The roller member includes one or more grousers extending radially from a cylindrical body. The roller member may include or be mounted on a rotatable shaft. Rotation of the shaft when the slope roller assembly is installed and positioned may result in a footprint that is uninterrupted.

A heating device for a lens of a camera includes at least one body including at least one matrix material and at least one conductive material, the conductive material being dispersed in the matrix material to form a conductive mass, and at least two electrical contacts contacting the conductive mass for applying an electrical voltage to the conductive mass. A system includes such a heating device and a camera, a rear view display device for a vehicle includes such a heating device or such a system, and a vehicle includes such a rear view display device.

An electronic device and a method are described. The electronic device is adapted to be installed on a handlebar of a vehicle, the electronic device comprising: a processor; a communication module; a display comprising a halo-shaped display; a memory for storing therein executable instructions, the instructions upon being processed by the processor, causing the electronic device to: receive, via the communication module, navigational data from a mobile device, the navigational data being associated with a circular visual signal indication, the circular visual signal indication being indicative of at least one of (i) an upcoming directional instruction and (ii) a distance between a current location and an upcoming location associated with the upcoming directional instruction; and, cause to display, on the halo-shaped display, of the circular visual signal indication.

A vehicular trailer angle detection system includes a rear camera, a left-side camera, a right-side camera and a control having an image processor. With a trailer hitched at a vehicle, and while the vehicle is driven in a forward direction and towing the trailer, image data is captured by at least one of the cameras. The vehicular trailer angle detection system determines an expected location of the portion of the trailer based on provided vehicle-trailer parameters as the vehicle is driven forward and towing the trailer. The vehicular trailer angle detection system determines an actual location of the portion of the trailer via processing of captured image data as the vehicle is driven forward and towing the trailer. Responsive to an offset between the determined actual location of the portion of the trailer and the determined expected location, the vehicular trailer angle detection system accommodates the offset.

Systems and methods for obscuring glares that are present on a windshield, mirror other surface of a vehicle are presented. The systems and methods comprise first and second sets of CCD cameras, where the first set is used to provide information about a source of a glare and the second set is used to provide information about eyes of a driver, for example. Based on the information gathered, locations of the source of the glare and the driver's eyes can be triangulated, and a position where light from the source of the glare is incident on the windshield or other surface can be determined. A translucent spot can be generated at that position to obscure the glare (light) from reaching the driver's eyes.

An autonomous travelling vehicle provided with an elevation apparatus on a chassis includes Wi-Fi antennas and cellular antennas that are columnar antennas and that are stood adjacent to an area for elevational motions of an elevation mechanism of the elevation apparatus.

A method is described for ascertaining a state of a vehicle light of a vehicle. The method includes a step of reading in and a step of evaluating. In the step of reading in, an image signal is read in that includes a camera image including a vehicle area of a detected vehicle. In the step of evaluating, the image signal is evaluated by using an artificial teachable model, in particular an artificial neural network. Here, at least two state categories, each representing a state of the vehicle light of the vehicle, are differentiated. That state category is ascertained as the evaluation result which represents the instantaneous state of the vehicle light of the vehicle.
