A value of speed for the vehicle that, if matched by the driver, causes the vehicle to arrive at the intersection while the traffic light is green and avoids stopping as the vehicle moves through the intersection, is calculated. A dynamic visual or audio indicator is caused, by the computing device or system, to be presented to the driver via a display or speaker, respectively, of the computing device or system. Causing the dynamic indicator to be presented to the driver includes setting the dynamic indicator based on the calculated value of speed. | 2022-03-31 |
20220101730 | CONTENT SHARING BETWEEN VEHICLES BASED ON A PEER-TO-PEER CONNECTION - One or more devices associated with a first vehicle receives location information that specifies a location of a second vehicle. The one or more devices determine, based on the location information, that the second vehicle is within a threshold distance of the first vehicle. The one or more devices establish, based on determining that the second vehicle is within the threshold distance of the first vehicle, a peer-to-peer (P2P) connection with the second vehicle. The one or more devices receive from the second vehicle, and by using the P2P connection, content that has been captured by a camera component associated with the second vehicle. The one or more devices cause an interface associated with the first vehicle to display the content. | 2022-03-31 |
20220101731 | MOVING-OBJECT DETECTION APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE - A moving-object detection apparatus for a vehicle includes first and second detectors and a moving-object detector. The first and the second detectors are configured to scan rear-side and front-side regions of the vehicle to detect first and second targets as reference targets, respectively. The moving-object detector is configured to detect a movement of a moving object on the basis of the detected first and second targets. The moving object is determined with the first and the second targets. The moving-object detector includes an interpolation-region setting unit, an estimation-trajectory setting unit, and a target checking unit. The interpolation-region setting unit is configured to set a first interpolation region and set a second interpolation region. The estimation-trajectory setting unit is configured to set an estimation trajectory on a time axis. The target checking unit is configured to check a matching degree between the estimation trajectory and the second target. | 2022-03-31 |
20220101732 | IMPROVING OPERATION OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS FOR DETECTING VULNERABLE ROAD USERS - According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method comprising determining that a first mobile terminal is a personal device, receiving, from the first mobile terminal, information about a status of the first mobile terminal, determining whether the first mobile terminal is a Vulnerable Road User, VRU, with respect to a vehicle based at least partly on the received information about the status of the first mobile terminal, detecting a potential collision between the first mobile terminal and the vehicle when the first mobile terminal is determined as a VRU and transmitting at least one warning message to the first mobile terminal in case that the first mobile terminal is determined as a VRU and the potential collision is detected. | 2022-03-31 |
20220101733 | Mission Reasoner System and Method - A system and method for automation of flight functions across an aircraft cockpit provides an open systems architecture to meet next generation mission capabilities for increased aircrew effectiveness. A mission reasoner (MR) receives inputs from a vehicle health system, mission phase analysis, and external assets (wingmen) to build a decision network based on a knowledge database providing a decision aid to automate flight functions across the cockpit. The MR reduces crew workload by providing an automated decision aid and increased situational awareness of own ship aircraft and cooperating nearby vehicle health status relating to a phase of mission success. The MR provides predictive decisions and alternative actions to complete one or more desired mission objectives and determines predictive maintenance and future failures to optimize condition-based maintenance and reduce cost. | 2022-03-31 |
