ANTI-DISTRACTED DRIVER SYSTEM
An anti-distracted driver system comprises an interrupt device and a client device detector. The system may be installed in a vehicle. The client device detector may be installed in, for example, the glove box and may detect whether a client device (e.g., smart phone) is present (also in the glove box). If a client device is detected, an identifier (ID) is extracted from the client device and compared to a set of valid client device IDs provided by an administrator. If no match is found or no client device is detected, a relay is, or remains, disengaged thereby electrically disconnecting the starter control (e.g., ignition switch) from a solenoid of the starter motor thereby preventing the vehicle's engine from being started. Thus, the engine cannot be started unless the vehicle operator places his or her phone in the glove box of the vehicle (or wherever the client device detector is otherwise located).
Managing communications for connected vehicles using a cellular network
Systems and methods are described herein for managing communications for a connected vehicle, such as between the connected vehicle and other connected vehicle and/or between the connected vehicle and infrastructure entities, such as providers of services to the connected vehicle. For example, a communication network, such as a network provided by a network carrier, may include various cloud engines or other network-based servers that manage, coordinate, and/or provision communications between the connected vehicle and other parties, such as vehicles, road devices, buildings, and other infrastructure entities.
OFF-ROAD AUTONOMOUS DRIVING
A vehicle system includes a processor with access to a memory storing instructions executable by the processor. The instructions include determining whether an autonomous host vehicle can traverse an environmental obstacle, and if the autonomous host vehicle can traverse the environmental obstacle, controlling an active suspension system in accordance with the environmental obstacle and controlling the autonomous host vehicle to traverse the environmental obstacle.
Wearable device and method of operating the same
Provided is a wearable device including a main body that is configured to be worn on a specific portion of a user's body, a sensing unit, provided in the main body, that senses a biological signal of a user, a storage unit that collects log information relating to the biological signal, and in which an index pattern relating to a state of the user included in the collected log information is stored, and a controller that sets a reference driving index, using the stored index pattern, in which when it is sensed that the user gets in a vehicle, the controller determines a current driving index corresponding to the biological signal that is sensed before and after the user gets in the vehicle, based on the reference driving index being set, and outputs feedback that notifies the state of the user that corresponds to a result of the determination.
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING A SPEED OR PROXIMITY CONTROL SYSTEM OF A TWO-WHEELED MOTOR VEHICLE
A method for controlling a speed or proximity control system of a two-wheeled motor vehicle. In the method, a voice command of the rider of the two-wheeled motor vehicle is picked up by a microphone; and at least one parameter of the speed or proximity control system is adjusted as a function of the voice command.
Method and device for control of a mobility device
A system for control of a mobility device comprising a controller for analyzing data from at least one sensor on the mobility device, wherein the data is used to determine the gait of user. The gait data is then used to provide motion command to an electric motor on the mobility device.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRACKING HUMAN BEHAVIOR REAL-TIME WITH SINGLE MAGNETOMETER SENSOR AND MAGNETS
A system and method for monitoring and analyzing activities of a person operating a machine, particularly driving a vehicle, is provided. A first magnet is attached to a hand of the person and a second magnet is attached to the head of the person. A smart watch having a magnetometer is attached to the other hand of the person. The magnetometer is in magnetic communication with both the first magnet and the second magnet to generate a first magnetic signal and a second magnetic signal. Both signals can be received by a processor and applied to mathematical models by the processor to generate indicators representative of positions and motions of the hands and the head. An alarm can be generated based on the indicators.
VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM
A system includes a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium has instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a processor of a portable user device, cause the processor to acquire data from a reader of the portable user device regarding an identifier on a machine, perform a verification process to verify that a user of the portable user device has access to the machine based on the identifier, wirelessly connect the portable user device to the machine in response to the user being verified to access the machine, display a control interface for the machine on a user interface of the portable user device, receive a user input through the control interface regarding operation of a controllable component of the machine, and provide a command to the machine based on the user input to facilitate remote operation of the controllable component of the machine.
Full-automatic parking method and system
Provided are a full-automatic parking method and system. The full-automatic parking method comprises: receiving a start instruction sent by a user, and activating an automatic parking system according to the start instruction; controlling a vehicle to automatically move forward and search, during moving, whether there is an available parking space at the left side or the right side of the vehicle, and when there is an available parking space, identifying basic information of the target parking space; planning a parking path according to the identified basic information of the target parking space, and obtaining a start point of parking and a parking path from the start point of parking to an end point of parking; controlling the vehicle to automatically move to the start point of parking; and controlling the vehicle to automatically park in the parking space according to the planned parking path. Through the full-automatic parking method and system provided by the present disclosure, a vehicle searches and identifies a free parking space while automatically moving forward, and automatically parks in the parking space; no human involvement is required in the whole process of searching a parking space and parking, thereby implementing full-automatic parking.
Guidance system and guidance method
A guidance system provides a driver of a vehicle with guidance on a driving operation, and includes a server device that accumulates past traveling records on a traveling road on which the vehicle travels, an acquisition device that acquires a current state of the vehicle, and a notification device that notifies the driver, while driving, of the operation content determined based on the current state of the vehicle and the past traveling records.
