    摘要: Autonomous vehicle operational management including blocking monitoring may include traversing, by an autonomous vehicle, a vehicle transportation network. Traversing the vehicle transportation network may include operating a blocking monitor instance, which may include identifying operational environment information including information corresponding to a first external object within a defined distance of the autonomous vehicle, determining a first area of the vehicle transportation network based on a current geospatial location of the autonomous vehicle in the vehicle transportation network and an identified route for the autonomous vehicle, and determining a probability of availability for the first area based on the operational environment information. Traversing the vehicle transportation network may include traversing a portion of the vehicle transportation network based on the probability of availability.

    摘要: Methods and systems for providing remote support and negotiating problem situations of autonomous operation of vehicles based on signal states and vehicle information are described. The disclosed technology receives state data for the vehicles by an apparatus such as a remote vehicle support apparatus. The state data indicates a respective current state for the vehicles. The vehicles are each assigned to respective remote vehicle support queues based on the respective state data. An indication that one of the vehicles is requesting remote support is received by the remote vehicle support apparatus. In response to a determination that a change in the state data indicates that autonomous operation of the one of the vehicles is operating outside of defined parameter values, the remote support is provided to the one of the vehicles through a communications link by transmitting instruction data to modify the autonomous operation of the one of the vehicles.

    摘要: Intersection collision avoidance may use a cellular transceiver for a cellular network and a processor located at a cellular access point for multi-access edge computing. The processor includes a shared world model and a conflict detection module. The shared world model is configured to receive, by the cellular transceiver, signals relating to at least two road users in proximity to an intersection within a vehicle transportation network, wherein the at least two road users include an ego vehicle, and the signals conform to a standards-based communication protocol. The conflict detection module is configured to receive object information from the shared world model, determine a potential future collision between the ego vehicle and an other road user of the at least two road users, and transmit a notification of the potential future collision to the ego vehicle over the cellular network.

    摘要: A computing framework for addressing a variety of vehicle conditions includes receiving, from a first set of sensors by an edge compute node, first transportation network data associated with a transportation network region, receiving, from a second set of sensors by a cloud computing node, second transportation network data associated multiple transportation network regions, providing, by the edge compute node to one or more autonomous vehicles at the transportation network region, real-time transportation network region information based on at least the first transportation network data to facilitate control decisions by the one or more autonomous vehicles, and providing, by the cloud computing node to at least the one or more autonomous vehicles, non-real-time transportation network region information based on at least the second transportation network data to facilitate the control decisions by the at least one or more autonomous vehicles.
