Abstract:
A gateway apparatus for managing local-device access to vehicle data, including an input/output component for receiving requests for vehicle data from a local device and sending vehicle data to the local device. The apparatus also includes a tangible processing unit in communication with the input/output component and the input/output component, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage device. An access unit of the apparatus has access-unit code that receives, by way of the input/output component, a request for the vehicle data from a local device and determines whether the gateway apparatus may satisfy the request. A control unit has control-unit code that, when executed by the processing unit, determines what vehicle data will be provided. A data unit has data-unit code that prepares the vehicle data to be provided to the local device, and sends the vehicle data to the local device by way of the input/output component.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are disclosed for participative sensing of road friction conditions by vehicles, collection of the friction data from a large number of vehicles by a central server, processing the data to classify friction conditions by roadway and locale, and sending notifications of the friction conditions to vehicles as appropriate. A large number of vehicles use participative sensing systems to identify road friction estimates which are reported to the central server—where the vehicles use sensor data and vehicle dynamic conditions to estimate friction. The central server stores and aggregates the friction data, filters it and ages it. Vehicles requesting advisories from the central server will receive notices of road friction conditions which may be significant based on their location and heading. Driver warnings can be issued for low friction conditions ahead, and automated vehicle systems may also respond to the notices.
Abstract:
A system for providing information about a vehicle involved in a collision includes a sensing device affixed to the vehicle. The sensing device includes a sensor module configured to perform measurements of one or more conditions of the vehicle, an antenna module configured to transmit and receive radio-frequency (RF) signals, a power module configured to provide power to the sensing device, and a sensing device controller. The sensing device controller is in electrical communication with the sensor module, the antenna module, and the power module. The sensing device controller is programmed to receive an excitation signal from an external transceiving device. The sensing device controller is further programmed to perform a measurement using the sensor module in response to receiving the excitation signal. The sensing device controller is further programmed to transmit the measurement to the external transceiving device using the antenna module.
Abstract:
A warning system is provided for alerting a VRU of a predicted collision. The system includes one or more input devices for transmitting first and second input signals for associated first and second vehicles. The system further includes a UWB beacon communicating with a UWB tag of a VRU notification device carried by the VRU. A location of the UWB tag is trackable via a third input signal. The system further includes a computer having one or more processors and a non-transitory computer readable medium. The processor is programmed to determine the location of the VRU and further determine the predicted collision between the second vehicle and the VRU. The processor is further programmed to generate a notification actuation signal associated with the VRU at a tracked location. The VRU notification device notifies the VRU that the second vehicle is headed toward the predicted collision site in the crosswalk.
Abstract:
A method for sharing a digital key associated with a vehicle by a cascaded key delegation system includes issuing, by a requestor device, a public key certificate to an initial delegator device that is part of a cloud delegation service. The public key certificate enables the initial delegator device to grant delegation rights the vehicle. The method also includes issuing, by the initial delegator, an intermediate public key certificate to a subsequent delegator that is part of the cloud delegation service. The intermediate public key certificate grants the delegation rights to the subsequent delegator.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for diagnosing sensor performance of a UWB sensor localization are provided. The system comprises a UWB tag, at least four UWB anchors, and a gateway. The gateway comprises an ECU arranged to receive sensor signals from the UWB anchors. The ECU comprises a preprocessing module arranged to align the sensor signals defining aligned data and is arranged to determine intersections of the aligned data defining points of intersections. The system further comprises a clustering module arranged to cluster the points of intersections defining at least one cluster of points of the UWB anchors to calculate a clustering quality and a clustering variance of each of the at least one cluster. The ECU is arranged to find a clustering contribution of each anchor defining a first contribution low of one of the anchors and is arranged to determine an erratic anchor based the first contribution low.

Abstract:
A system and method for sharing a digital key for a vehicle. The system includes a first digital key device having a digital key stored thereon, a second digital key device, and a vehicle server. The first digital key device sends a request to the vehicle server for a key sharing session. The vehicle server commences a key sharing session in response to the request. The first digital key device shares the digital key to a second digital key device. The vehicle server ends the key sharing session.
