20150321665 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PREDICTING MOST PROBABLE PATH OF VEHICLE TRAVEL AND VEHICLE CONTROL LOSS PREVIEW - A method and apparatus to predict the most probable path of a vehicle along a roadway which may contain a junction splitting the roadway into a rootpath and one or more sub-paths, each containing one or more lanes. The method and apparatus also process vehicle sensor information pertaining to driver corrections, road boundary detection, lane marker detection, map information availability, and road surface quality at the current position of the vehicle as well as from previous passes of the vehicle past the same location and other vehicles passing the same location to provide a warning to the driver to retake control of the vehicle if information used by the automatic vehicle control will become unavailable a predetermined travel distance ahead of the current position of the vehicle. | 11-12-2015 |

20120078507 | Systems and Methods for Estimating Local Traffic Flow - Systems and methods for estimating local traffic flow are described. One embodiment of a method includes determining a driving habit of a user from historical data, determining a current location of a vehicle that the user is driving, and determining a current driving condition for the vehicle. Some embodiments include predicting a desired driving condition from the driving habit and the current location, comparing the desired driving condition with the current driving condition to determine a traffic congestion level, and sending a signal that indicates the traffic congestion level. | 03-29-2012 |

20130253797 | PREDICTION OF DRIVER-SPECIFIC CRUISE SPEED USING DYNAMIC MODELING - A controller for predicting cruising speeds of a vehicle includes a processor and an extracting unit to extract feature data from segments of a prior trajectory of the vehicle, the feature data including cruising speeds of the vehicle and predictive feature data. The controller also includes a model generator to generate a probabilistic model associating the predictive feature data with the cruising speeds of the vehicle and a predicting unit to predict a cruising speed of the vehicle for a target segment, which is an upcoming cruising segment of the vehicle, by conditioning the probabilistic model on real-time predictive feature data of segments of a current trajectory. | 09-26-2013 |
20150325127 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING LANE IDENTIFICATION IN A ROADWAY - A method and apparatus for determining a lane identity of a vehicle travelling in a roadway where the roadway contains a plurality of lanes is determined based on information from sensors associated with the vehicle and map data for detecting the lane marker type to a left side and right side of the vehicle, any lane crossings during travel of the vehicle along the roadway, a history of lane marker type up to a predetermined travel distance along the roadway, and the lane marker type at the instantaneous position of the vehicle in the roadway. The lane identity method and apparatus outputs a confidence belief identifying the probability that the vehicle is traveling in one particular lane of the roadway. | 11-12-2015 |

20090161595 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BROADCASTING APPLICATION-SPECIFIC INFORMATION IN WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORKS - A system and method for a novel broadcasting scheme (NBS) in a wireless local area network are described, which can operate with or without a network connection. The system permits transmission of application-specific data through a specific field in a beacon frame, the Service Set Identity (SSID). By implementing a NBS Processor in an AP and a NBS Parser in stations, the AP can broadcast application-specific data while the stations can automatically act upon the receipt of the broadcast. | 06-25-2009 |

20120115417 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SELECTING SERVICES IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A system and method for selecting a preferred connection point from a choice of one or more available connection points in a wireless communication network. The system and method include: determining a link quality for the one or more available connection points; establishing a connection to a first connection point when there is no existing established connection, the first connection point offers a desired service, and the link quality for the first connection point exceeds a first threshold value, wherein a service priority is considered in determining the link quality of the first connection point; maintaining the established connection to the first connection point when the link quality exceeds a second threshold value; and making eligible the established connection to the first connection point for preemption by a second connection point, when the link quality for the first connection point is less than the second threshold value. | 05-10-2012 |

20120246050 | Systems and Methods For Locating the Best Cash Market For a Commodity - Systems and methods create a display of commodity purchasers offering the highest net commodity price for a commodity, the net price taking into account the actual transportation and storage costs of the commodity seller for a transaction. In one implementation, the method includes receiving a type of commodity, a storage cost per bushel for the type of commodity, and a transportation cost per bushel for the type of commodity and identifying commodity purchasers for the type of commodity. The method further includes retrieving basis data for the type of commodity for each of the commodity purchasers, the basis data including at least a basis for multiple transaction periods. The method further includes determining distance data between the seller and each of the purchasers, calculating a commodity price for each of the transaction periods for each of the identified commodity purchasers based on the basis data, the distance data, the storage cost, and the transportation cost, and determining which of the purchasers offers the highest commodity price. | 09-27-2012 |
