A system configured to, and method of, generating and providing a data product using data supplied by a multitude of vehicles. The system/method includes carrying out a re-segmentation process in which an initial set of road segments are processed so as to obtain a re-segmented set of road segments; attributing traffic data to at least a subset of the re-segmented set of road segments, wherein, for each road segment of the subset of road segments, a portion of the traffic data is attributed to the road segment based on geographical proximity; carrying out a road segment merging process on the re-segmented set of road segments in order to obtain a merged set of road segments; aggregating metrics associated with the merged set of road segments to obtain aggregated road segment data; generating the data product using the aggregated road segment data; and providing the data product to a third party.

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 device may receive three-dimensional geographical map data for a geographical region associated with a vehicle device of a vehicle and may process the three-dimensional geographical map data, with a data model, to transform the three-dimensional geographical map data into transformed geographical map data with a format that corresponds to a particular standard. The device may generate a message based on the transformed geographical map data and may cause the message to be provided to the vehicle device. The device may perform one or more actions based on the message.

A data transmission device includes a wireless communication unit that wirelessly communicates with an external communication device, a travel route information acquirer that acquires a future travel route of a moving object, a travel route, a propagation environment information acquirer that acquires propagation environment information of a radio wave propagation path used in wireless communication, a speed information acquisition unit that acquires the moving speed of a moving object, and a converter that converts a relationship between the travel route and propagation environment information into a plurality of data slots each defined by the communication speed per unit time; a transmission instructor that instructs the wireless communication unit to transmit the data allocated to the data slot.

A control method according to the present disclosure is a method for controlling an information spot placed on at least one of a traffic light and roadside equipment and includes: obtaining, from a first mobile body via short-range wireless communication, first information obtained from a first path along which the first mobile body has traveled to reach the location of the information spot and indicating a situation on the first path; obtaining information related to the destination of a second mobile body, which is different from the first mobile body, from the second mobile body via the short-range wireless communication; and transmitting the first information to the second mobile body when it is determined that the second mobile body is to travel along at least a part of the first path to reach the destination.

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.

The travel assistance apparatus includes: a first Operating System (OS) that controls execution of at least one of a first application and/or a second application, the first application being for specifying a first travel control amount of a vehicle based on first movement information on a position and a speed of an object around the vehicle, the second application being for specifying a second travel control amount of the vehicle based on second movement information on a position and a speed of the object; a second OS that controls execution of a third application for performing travel control of the vehicle based on at least one of the first travel control amount and/or the second travel control amount; and a hypervisor that is executed on a processor and controls execution of the first OS and the second OS.

A method for determining space allocation and signal timing of an isolated signalized intersection consists of at least one remote server and a processing module that is communicably coupled with the at least one remote server. A plurality of traffic-related data, wherein the plurality of traffic-related data reflects activity at the isolated signalized intersection, is received through the processing module. A space determination process is performed on the plurality of traffic-related data through the processing module. Next, a timing determination process is performed on the plurality of traffic-related data through the processing module in order to minimise the average intersection delay at the isolated signalized intersection. Based upon the results from the space determination process and the timing determination process a cycle length is determined for the isolated signalized intersection.
