Abstract: A method of prioritizing updates to vehicles includes receiving one or more update requests for a first vehicle; determining a receiving capacity of the first vehicle; checking status of a battery and communications of the first vehicle; prioritizing the one or more update requests based on the receiving capacity of the first vehicle; and sending the prioritized update requests to the first vehicle. The method may include receiving one or more update requests for an additional vehicle; determining a receiving capacity of the additional vehicle; prioritizing the one or more update requests based on the receiving capacity of the additional vehicle; sending the prioritized update requests to the additional vehicle: and determining whether the vehicles are part of a common location group. Creating profiles from sets of communications available for the vehicle and selecting the best connection speed from profiles. Updating radio maps based on connection speeds.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for vehicular computation management. The system includes, onboard a vehicle, electric control units (ECUs), a battery, a communication system, and a controller. The controller is configured to monitor energy consumption, operate the vehicle as a computational hub when the energy consumption is less than a threshold, including providing computational resources to an external node, determine whether the vehicle has excess energy and computational capacity when the energy consumption is equal to or greater than the threshold, including determining a usage of each of the ECUs and determining an energy consumption of tasks executing thereon, and operate the vehicle as a hybrid computational hub when the vehicle has excess energy and computational capacity, including providing excess computational capacity of the ECUs to the external node.

Abstract: A method and apparatus that identify a composition of an object using a non-contact chemical sensor provided. The method includes detecting an object based on information provided by a plurality of sensors, transmitting a chemical detection signal, from a non-contact chemical sensor, at the detected object, identifying a composition of the detected object based on an attenuation of the chemical detection signal, determining whether a path change is required based on the identified composition of the detected object, and controlling one or more actuators to stop a vehicle or adjust the path of the vehicle if the path change is required.

Abstract: A method of connectivity management of a telematics unit. The method includes: setting, via a controller, a telematics unit at a first connectivity mode; establishing, via an antenna, communications with a wireless carrier system at the first connectivity mode; determining, via the controller, that the vehicle has encountered a connectivity-type event; shifting, via the controller, the telematics unit from the first connectivity mode to a second connectivity mode; and establishing, via the antenna, communications with the wireless carrier system at the second connectivity mode.
