According to some embodiments, there is provided a Collective Perception Message, CPM, characterizing a plurality of Vulnerable Road Users based on a plurality of received VAMs, thereby allowing an ITS station to efficiently aggregate VAM messages from VRUs and retransmit information about the VRUs to other ITS stations. Consequently, the security is improved as some ITS stations may not be able to detect or identify VRU stations by themselves but thanks to the CPM, these stations can still be informed of the VRUs. According to other aspects, congestion is avoided while maintaining safety vis-à-vis VRUs thanks to the use of a different transmission scheme when the VRU is already characterized in a CPM sent to the ITS stations. Also, a receiving station can evaluate whether the content of a CPM can be trusted or not. Safety is thus improved. This is achieved thanks to the CPM that references a certificate.

Among other things, equipment is located at an intersection of a transportation network. The equipment includes an input to receive data from a sensor oriented to monitor ground transportation entities at or near the intersection. A wireless communication device sends to a device of one of the ground transportation entities, a warning about a dangerous situation at or near the intersection, there is a processor and a storage for instructions executable by the processor to perform actions including the following. A machine learning model is stored that can predict behavior of ground transportation entities at or near the intersection at a current time. The machine learning model is based on training data about previous motion and related behavior of ground transportation entities at or near the intersection. Current motion data received from the sensor about ground transportation entities at or near the intersection is applied to the machine learning model to predict imminent behaviors of the ground transportation entities. An imminent dangerous situation for one or more of the ground transportation entities at or near the intersection is inferred from the predicted imminent behaviors. The wireless communication device sends the warning about the dangerous situation to the device of one of the ground transportation entities.

An example operation may include one or more of identifying transports operating on a roadway, determining a degree of transport traffic based on the identified transports, when the degree of transport traffic has exceeded a traffic level, assigning one or more of the identified transports as a roadway manager, controlling movement of the roadway manager, and generating a roadway indicator on the roadway manager to direct the identified transports.

Provided is a roadside unit including: communication circuitry, which, in operation, receives data transmitted from an on-board unit and transfers the data to a server; and control circuitry, which, in operation, suspends, in a case where the communication circuitry has received an upload resume request for the data from the on-board unit while the data is being transferred to the server, transfer of the upload resume request to the server.

Systems and methods for dynamically reprioritizing pick jobs in a fulfillment center are described herein. The example systems can be configured to periodically classify pick jobs in order to optimize throughput of the fulfillment center. The classifying can include determining an estimated completion time for pick jobs and identifying at-risk jobs that may complete after their associated due dates. The at-risk jobs can be assigned to autonomous vehicles based primarily on their associated due dates. Other pick jobs that are not at-risk can be assigned to autonomous vehicles based primarily on efficiency. The at-risk pick jobs can be assigned to autonomous vehicles before the other pick jobs.

A facility for providing vehicle to vehicle event notification for connected and/or unconnected vehicles is disclosed. The facility enables a vehicle to detect an occurrence of a vehicle status trigger event and identify information describing an event type. The facility determines a priority of the vehicle status event based at least in part on the type of the vehicle status event. When the vehicle status event is to be reported to at least one other vehicle, the facility enables the vehicle to generate a vehicle status event message that includes the priority of the vehicle status event and at least a portion of the information describing the type of the vehicle status event. The vehicle status event message is then transmitted/broadcasted to at least one other vehicle.

Provided is a control apparatus for controlling broadcast data to be broadcasted to an occupant of a movable object with an automated drive function, comprising: a travelling road identification unit for identifying a predetermined travelling road of the movable object corresponding to a destination set in the movable object; a setting unit for setting, according to the predetermined travelling road, a recommended switching point for switching predetermined automated drive to driver subjected manual drive in the predetermined travelling road, and setting predetermined passage time when the movable object passes through the recommended switching point; and a broadcast plan generation unit for generating a broadcast plan for broadcasting predetermined broadcast data to an occupant of the movable object according to the recommended switching point; wherein the broadcast plan generation unit determines an order of the broadcast data to be broadcasted within a predetermined period before or after the recommended switching point.

An in-vehicle wireless communication device according to the present embodiment is is mounted in a vehicle and includes a wireless communication unit that performs wireless communication with an external device provided outside of the vehicle and a processing unit that performs processing relating to communication, in which the processing unit determines a communication amount in an in-vehicle network provided inside of the vehicle, transmits communication amount information relating to the determined communication amount to the external device by the wireless communication unit, and receives data transmitted from the external device at a size corresponding to the transmitted communication amount information, by the wireless communication unit.

A database of high risk locations is formed and high risk causal factors for the high risk locations determined. Driver behavior is monitored at the sites in the database using data collection devices such as electronic logging devices or mobile phones to see if the drivers exhibit the same specific behaviors that are considered contributing factors to specific accident types at risk of occurrence at those sites. Warnings are provided to drivers approaching the specific sites to prompt behavioral changes which may further be monitored by the data collection devices.

Methods, computer programs, apparatuses, a transportation vehicle, and a traffic entity for updating an environmental model at a transportation vehicle. The method for a transportation vehicle and for updating an environmental model of the transportation vehicle includes obtaining an environmental model of the transportation vehicle, the environmental model having static and dynamic objects in the environment of the transportation vehicle along at least a part of the trajectory of the transportation vehicle; assigning information related to correctness probabilities at least to dynamic objects of the environmental model; determining at least one dynamic object for which the information related to the correctness probability indicates a correctness probability below a threshold; and transmitting a broadcast message to the environment to request further information on the at least one dynamic object.
