Abstract:
A computing system including a cooperative system architecture for cataloging, informing, sharing, and managing engineering assets within an organization includes a user management subsystem for creating a registered user profile associated with a specific user of the computing system. The registered user profile includes user metadata that provides identifying characteristics of the specific user. The computing system includes an asset management subsystem including an asset repository for recording one or more engineering assets. The asset management subsystem modifies the user metadata of the registered user profile in response to the specific user recording an engineering asset in the asset repository. The computing system includes a test management subsystem including a test repository for recording one or more test bill of materials.
Abstract:
A system is provided for updating vehicle software configurations for multiple vehicles. The system includes a network having multiple ECUs carried by the vehicles, with each ECU having an ECU software configuration including software components with one or more versions. The system further includes a network appliance having a processor communicating with the ECUs and a computer readable medium. The processor is programmed to identify coverage points for software components. The processor is further programmed to collect clusters for validating an update of the associated software components and determine optimal sets of clusters, which is less than or equal to a total of the clusters. The processor is further programmed to rank the clusters of the selected optimal set, based on a vehicle coverage percentage of each cluster, and transmit the optimal set for software configuration validation and then finally transmit the validated update to the associated vehicle ECUs.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for indicating a driving situation including at least one vehicle. The system includes a first processor, a second processor and an external device. A first processor obtains driving information, encodes the driving information and communicates the encoded driving information to the second processor. The second processor receives and decodes the encoded driving information. The second processor further allocates a predefined indication pattern to the decoded driving information, wherein the predefined indication pattern includes a graphical representation of an upcoming driving event involving the vehicle. An external device visualizes a current driving situation including the vehicle together with the predefined indication pattern.
Abstract:
A method in an On-Demand Autonomy system includes: monitoring for a trip change request from a plurality of platoon vehicles including a first leader vehicle (Lv) and a follower vehicle (Fv). When a trip termination request is received from a platoon vehicle, the method includes broadcasting information regarding the request to the other platoon vehicles, and monitoring for an acknowledgement of the request. When the trip termination request originated from the first Lv, the method includes electing a new Lv, computing a rendezvous point for the new Lv and the Fv, and signaling the Fv and new Lv regarding the rendezvous point. When a trip modification request is received from the Fv, the method includes broadcasting information regarding the request to the first Lv, electing a new Lv, computing a rendezvous point for the new Lv and the Fv, and signaling the Fv and new Lv regarding the rendezvous point.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for an On-Demand Autonomy (ODA) service. The system includes a selection module of a leader vehicle (Lv) connected to an ODA server to determine whether to confirm a request for an on-demand autonomy (ODA) service which has been broadcast wherein the ODA service request includes control of a follower vehicle (Fv) to a requested location by creating a virtual link between the Lv and the Fv to configure a vehicle platoon to enable transport of the Fv by the Lv wherein the vehicle platoon is a linking of the Lv to the Fv via the virtual link to enable the Lv to assume the control of the Fv to the requested location.
Abstract:
A method of automatic identifying linking relationships of requirements in a plurality of requirement documents. Terms in the plurality of requirement documents are identified. A part-of-speech tag is assigned to each term. Each identified term is selected as a focal term. Co-occurring terms within a predetermined distance of the selected focal term are determined. A linking relationship probability is calculated for each co-occurring term associated with the selected focal term. The selected focal terms and associated co-occurring terms between the plurality of requirement documents are compared. A degree of linking relationship is identified between two requirements as a function of a comparison between selected focal terms and the associated co-occurring terms between the plurality of requirement documents. An analysis report identifying the degree of linking relationships between two respective requirements is output.

Abstract:
A resource sharing marketplace platform includes a back-office server including a controller adapted to run a plurality of integrated systems and a wireless communication module in communication with the controller, wherein, the resource sharing marketplace platform is adapted to receive a request from a user, collect data from a plurality of acceptable service providers, and provide a response to the user.
Abstract:
A system for controlling an ego vehicle following a lead vehicle without vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication includes sensors disposed on the ego vehicle and capturing ego and lead vehicle condition information. Control modules disposed in the ego vehicle each have a processor, memory, and input/output (I/O) ports. The I/O ports communicate with the one or more sensors. The memory stores control logic, and the processor executes the control logic, including a lead vehicle following (LVF) application. A first control logic receives a start input from a vehicle occupant via a human-machine interface (HMI) in communication with the I/O ports. A second control logic performs a feasibility analysis of ego and lead vehicle conditions according to feasibility conditions. A third control logic selectively initiates lead vehicle following. A fourth control logic continuously monitors feasibility of lead vehicle following, and fifth control logic selectively disables the LVF application upon receiving a disengagement command.
