    Abstract: A latency masking system for use in an autonomous vehicle (AV) system includes a sensors module providing sensor data from a plurality of sensors. The sensor data includes image frames provided by a vehicle camera and vehicle motion data. A wireless transceiver transmits the sensor data to a remote server associated with a network infrastructure and receives remote state information derived from the sensor data. An on-board function module receives the sensor data from the sensors module and generates local state information. A state fusion and prediction module receives the remote station information and the local state information and updates the local state information with the remote state information. The state fusion and prediction module uses checkpoints in a state history data structure to update the local state information with the remote state information.

    Abstract: A system in a vehicle includes one or more sensors to provide data, the one or more sensors including one or more cameras. The system also includes processing circuitry to obtain sensor information based on the data. The sensor information includes a position of one or more features around the vehicle, the one or more features being stationary objects. The processing circuitry additionally obtains information from messages, fuses the sensor information and the information from the messages, and generates and broadcasts an adaptive safety message based on fusion that does not include a satellite-based position of the vehicle.

    Abstract: A method of controlling operation of a vehicle includes monitoring one or more features of a road segment, the vehicle configured to communicate with a plurality of objects in a wireless communication network, the vehicle configured to generate a communication based on a reference value of a parameter related to at least one of an environment around the vehicle and a behavior of the vehicle. The method also includes determining, based on the monitoring, a condition of the road segment, the condition including at least a curvature of the road segment, inputting the condition into a machine learning model configured to adjust the reference value based on the condition and output an adjusted reference value, and comparing the adjusted reference value to a current parameter value, and based on the adjusted reference value matching the current parameter value, transmitting an alert to one or more of the plurality of objects.

    Abstract: A method for perception-sharing between similarly-situated vehicles that are traveling on a portion of a roadway that is equipped with an intelligent vehicle highway system is described, and includes executing, in a multi-access edge computing cluster in communication with a roadside unit disposed to monitor a roadway, an application-layer routine. The application-layer routine includes collecting real-time data associated with a plurality of objects from each of the similarly-situated vehicles, predicting motion of each of the plurality of objects based upon the real-time data, object-matching the motion of each of the plurality of objects, and executing fusion of the plurality of objects based upon the object-matching of the motion of each of the plurality of objects. Locations of the similarly-situated vehicles traveling on the roadway are identified based upon the fusion of the plurality of objects. The locations are communicated to one of the similarly-situated vehicles.
