    Abstract: Certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to methods and apparatuses for health monitoring of wireless connections among vehicles. An example method can include receiving as input to processing circuitry configured and arranged to monitor a health status of wireless communications links between a plurality of vehicles in a vehicle platoon, object information including coordinates of stationary and moving objects, and determining, using the received object information, a relative location of a vehicle among the plurality of vehicles in the vehicle platoon. The method further includes determining, based on the received object information and the relative location of the vehicle, physical parameters for line-of-sight wireless communications between the vehicle and other vehicles in the vehicle platoon. The health status of the wireless communications links can be determined between the plurality of vehicles in the vehicle platoon using the physical parameters for the line-of-sight wireless communications.

    Abstract: A method, system and device are disclosed for determining safety conflicts in redundant subsystems of autonomous vehicles. Each redundant subsystem calculates a world model or path plan, including locations, dimensions, and orientations of moving and stationary objects, as well as projected travel paths for moving objects in the future. The travel paths and projected future world models are subsequently compared using a geometric overlay operation. If at future time moments the projected world models match within predefined margins, the comparison results in a match. In case of a mismatch at a given future moment between projected world models, a determination is made as to whether the autonomous vehicle and all road users in this future moment are safe from collision or driving off the drivable space or road based on a geometric overlay operation.
