A method for providing guided navigation for personal transport devices is described. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a list of predetermined destinations associated with a geographic area, projecting directions to one or more of the destinations on a ground surface located in front of a personal transport device, and providing an option to a user of the personal transport device to select between at least two different destinations. A direction associated with each destination of the at least two destinations may be projected on the ground surface located in front of the personal transport device. The method also includes receiving an input from the user indicating a selection of one of the at least two different destinations and projecting directions to the selected destination on the ground surface located in front of the personal transport device to guide the user to the selected destination.

The invention is a method of characterizing a road for at least one route travelled by at least one road user, with sensors: a three-axis accelerometer (ACC) and a geolocation sensor (GPS). The method comprises a measurement step (MES), a measurement processing step for disregarding (AFF) the effects related to the road user's speed in order to determine vibrations due to the road roughness, and an analysis of the vibrations to characterize (CAR) the condition of the road.

A display control system using a knob includes an input part to receive a touch input signal for a display area, a memory to store a display control program according to the touch input signal, and a processor to execute the program, such that the processor moves a position of a knob to perform function control of an area of the display to which the touch input signal is applied.

Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) message-based vehicle tracking is provided. Connected messages including position, dimension, and heading of remote vehicles are received from the remote vehicles and collected by a host vehicle. A route of the host vehicle is used to filter the remote vehicles to those within an interest neighborhood of the host vehicle. A map is displayed, to an HMI screen of the host vehicle, including the route of the host vehicle and an overlay of the remote vehicles as filtered.

An embodiment augmented reality (AR)-based point of interest (POI) guide method includes performing a plane detection with respect to an actual image in an area around a POI, forming a grid in the area where the plane detection of the actual image is performed, and displaying an anchor and a highlight at a position of the POI based on the grid.

In some embodiments, an electronic device present navigation routes from various perspectives. In some embodiments, an electronic device modifies display of representations of (e.g., physical) objects in the vicinity of a navigation route while presenting navigation directions. In some embodiments, an electronic device modifies display of portions of a navigation route that are occluded by representations of (e.g., physical) objects in a map. In some embodiments, an electronic device presents representations of (e.g., physical) objects in maps. In some embodiments, an electronic device presents representations of (e.g., physical) objects in maps in response to requests to search for (e.g., physical) objects.

A system is disclosed for managing waste services by a service vehicle. The system may have a locating device configured to generate a location signal indicative of a location of the service vehicle, a sensor configured to generate a service signal indicative of a waste service being performed by the service vehicle, an input device, and a processing unit in communication with the locating device, the sensor, and the input device. The processing unit may be configured to make a determination that the service vehicle has made a plurality of service stops based on the location and service signals, and to automatically generate at least one service route including the plurality of service stops. The processing unit may also be configured to display the at least one service route and the plurality of service stops on a map in at least one graphical user interface on the input device.

A method for preparing a motor vehicle for a journey includes recording, using a mobile electronic device, at least one piece of first information, which is representative of at least one piece of journey information, before the journey, and ascertaining a piece of second information that is representative of at least one actual state of the motor vehicle. The method also includes determining at least one piece of preparatory information on the basis of the first information and the second information. The method further includes displaying the preparatory information on the mobile electronic device in order to prepare the motor vehicle.

A system includes at least partially autonomous vehicles, at least partially separated interconnected roadways, and a management system. Each of the vehicles is configured to cooperate with another vehicle or an area controller. The management system is configured to receive requests to transport, which may have respective start points and respective destinations. Additionally, the management system is configured, responsive to receiving the request, to assign a vehicle to fulfill the request. The assigned vehicle is configured to transport a person from the respective start point, at least in part via the interconnected roadways, to the respective destination.

In certain embodiments, a vehicle may obtain a video stream via a camera system of the vehicle. The video stream may be processed to extract one or more feature vectors from the video stream. Based on the feature vectors extracted from the video stream, vehicle description information related to one or more parked vehicles in the parking area may be determined. Space information indicating locations of the parked vehicles relative to available parking spaces in the parking area may also be determined based on the feature vectors extracted from the video stream. A mapping of the parking area may then be generated based on the vehicle description information and the space information.
