DELIVERY SYSTEM, DELIVERY METHOD AND DELIVERY DEVICE
For a user to receive a package more smoothly from an unmanned ground vehicle, a delivery system includes an unmanned ground vehicle having at least two surfaces each of which is provided with a door of a storage compartment for receiving a package and facing in different directions. The delivery system determines a surface provided with a door of a storage compartment that stores a package to be received by the user next among the at least two surfaces, and adjusts a direction of the unmanned ground vehicle based on the determined surface before the user reaches the unmanned ground vehicle.
PACKAGE LOCKER UNIT AND PACKAGE DELIVERY MANAGEMENT
A package delivery system for an automated delivery management of one or more packages is provided. The package delivery system may include a package locker unit and a control network. The package locker unit includes at least one adjustable access point, at least one pallet tower and at least one adjustable door assembly slidably. The at least one pallet tower includes a plurality of adjustable racks. The adjustable door assembly slidably coupled to the at least one pallet tower and defines an adjustable access point to access the package from the respective pallet of the respective rack. The control network is configured to facilitate customized automatic operation of the at least one adjustable door assembly while loading and delivery of the one or more packages.
UNMANNED LOGISTICS VEHICLE, TRANSACTION SYSTEM AND METHOD
The present disclosure provides an unmanned logistics vehicle, and a transaction system and method. The unmanned logistics vehicle includes a signal transceiving device in communication with a transaction server and is used for receiving a shipping/pickup request; a central controller for controlling the unmanned logistics vehicle to drive to a designated place according to the shipping/pickup request received by the signal transceiving device; an on-board compartment for placing goods; a display device for displaying information of the goods placed in the on-board compartment. The transaction system includes a shipping-side client terminal, a pickup-side client terminal, a transaction server and the unmanned logistics vehicle, the shipping-side client terminal, the pickup-side client terminal and the unmanned logistics vehicle are in communication with the transaction server. The solution of the present disclosure improves the transaction efficiency and quality, shortens the transaction time and enhances transaction convenience.
VEHICLE MANAGEMENT
A method of controlling an Autonomous Vehicle (AV) 110, comprising the steps of: detecting a fault in a first AV 110-1; in response to detecting said fault, transmitting a communication for alerting an AV of the fault, wherein said communication is a device-to-device wireless communication; receiving said communication at a second AV 110-2; identifying the second AV as being capable of retrieving at least part of the first AV and delivering said at least part to an intended destination; and instructing the second AV to perform the retrieving and delivering.
PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM
A parking assist system includes: a self-driving vehicle, an unmanned carrying vehicle, and a management device. The self-driving vehicle includes a status transmitting unit that transmits, to the management device, a vehicle status and a position transmitting unit that repeatedly transmits position information indicative a position of the self-driving vehicle to the management device. The management device includes: an abnormality determination unit that determines whether an abnormality occurs in the self-driving vehicle based on the vehicle status; a driving settings unit that transmits, to the unmanned carrying vehicle, a transport instruction for the unmanned carrying vehicle to transport the self-driving vehicle when an abnormality occurs and transmits, to the self-driving vehicle, an self-driving instruction for the self-driving vehicle to move by self-driving when an abnormality does not occur.
AUTONOMOUS DELIVERY BOX AND DELIVERY SYSTEM
An autonomous delivery box includes a first memory, a first processor coupled to the first memory, and a delivery box configured to house a package. The autonomous delivery box is configured to travel autonomously between a dispatch base from which the package is dispatched and a handover location at which the package is handed over. The first processor is configured to authenticate opening permission for a door of the delivery box, and to control whether or not the autonomous delivery box is permitted to travel such that the autonomous delivery box is not permitted to travel in a case in which a travel-permitting condition of the autonomous delivery box has not been satisfied at the handover location.
SENSOR FUSION FOR DYNAMIC MAPPING
A local computing device receives lidar data and radar data from one or more road side units (RSUs). The local computing device performs ground plane removal based on range to detect targets and perform local sensor fusion. The local computing device may use a global nearest neighbor (GNN) algorithm and a Kalman filter. The local computing device may create an HD map or the data may be brought together with other target data at a central computing device to produce the HD map. Vehicle position and motion are controlled based on the HD map. Detecting and removing a ground plane based on range are illustrated. Fusion, ground plane removal, and delay filtering may be used in various contexts, such as roadways, parking lots and shipping yards.
Responding to autonomous vehicle error states
Various examples are directed to systems and methods for dispatching autonomous vehicles. A service arrangement system may receive error data describing an error state at a first autonomous vehicle executing a first transportation service. The first transportation service may include moving a payload from a transportation service start point to a transportation service end point. The service arrangement system may determine, using the error data, a first property of the first autonomous vehicle associated with the error state and select a second autonomous vehicle that does not have the first property. The service arrangement system may send to the second autonomous vehicle a transportation service request requesting that the second autonomous vehicle travel to a rendezvous location to meet the first autonomous vehicle and transport the payload from the rendezvous location to the transportation service end point.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING MOBILE CHARGING DEVICE
The invention relates to a method for controlling a mobile charging device, which comprises the following steps: receiving an order information from the user, the order information comprising the charging location where the electric vehicle will be charged; determining a navigation route between the mobile charging device and the charging location according to the order information; navigating the mobile charging device to the charging location according to the navigation route and connecting the mobile charging device with the charging interface; and charging the electric vehicle through the charging interface. The invention relates to a system of the same. Through the invention, the mobile charging device can be intelligently dispatched according to user needs and make it autonomously travel to the user's electric vehicle and charge it, thereby greatly optimizing the charging resources of the electric vehicle.
BRAKE SYSTEM
A brake system for a combination vehicle in which a plurality of vehicles are coupled in a line, including: a plurality of brake devices respectively provided for the plurality of vehicles; and a controller configured to control the plurality of brake devices, wherein the controller is configured to control a braking force applied to each of the plurality of vehicles based on a loaded weight or a weight of each of the plurality of vehicles.
