Abstract: A method of detecting a way-side object includes receiving data frames from sensors mounted on a vehicle. Position data corresponding to the position of the vehicle is received. Object-of-interest data is retrieved from a database. The sensor data frames and the object-of-interest data are processed to determine a region-of-interest in the sensor data frame. A portion of the sensor data frames corresponding to the region of interest is processed using machine-learned object detection to identify a first object-of-interest. The portion of the sensor data frames corresponding to the region of interest is processed using computer vision methods to detect features of the expected object-of-interest and identifying the detected object-of-interest as explained when the features of the expected object-of-interest are detected. Explained object-of-interest data corresponding to the explained detected object-of-interest is output to a navigation system of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle positioning system includes processing circuitry in communication with the vehicle. The system further includes a memory connected to the processing circuitry, where the memory is configured to store executable instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, facilitate performance of operations. The operations include to receive vehicle-speed data from a first set of sensors operably coupled to the vehicle. The operations further include to predict a vehicle location based on the vehicle-speed data. The operations further include to receive inertial data from a second set of sensors operably coupled to the vehicle, and update the predicted vehicle location based upon the inertial data.

Abstract: A control system for a vehicle includes a first controller, a second controller, and an auto-tuner. The first controller is configured to generate an optimal trajectory of the vehicle along a path. The second controller is configured to, based on the optimal trajectory generated by the first controller, generate motoring and braking commands to a motoring and braking system of the vehicle for controlling the vehicle to travel along the path. The auto-tuner includes a processor configured to solve a real-time optimization problem to determine at least one parameter of at least one of the first controller or the second controller.

Abstract: A method of common controller area network (CAN) bus traffic supervision on a system having a common CAN bus, a first CAN chip and a second CAN chip, the first CAN chip and the second CAN chip are coupled together with the common CAN bus, the method includes comparing a first CAN frame received from the first CAN chip to a second CAN frame received from the second CAN chip within a CAN comparison period, and detecting a failure of at least the first CAN chip or the second CAN chip. Detecting the failure of at least the first CAN chip or the second CAN chip includes determining that the first CAN frame is not identical to the second CAN frame within the CAN comparison period.

Abstract: A standalone odometry device includes an accelerometer and/or gyroscope configured to be mounted on a wheel or axle of a vehicle. A controller in communication with the accelerometer and/or gyroscope is configured to receive data from the accelerometer and/or gyroscope. The controller processes the data to determine one or more of the speed, wheel rotation direction, accumulated distance travelled, stationary status, acceleration, deceleration, wheel diameter, and grade of surface on which the wheel is in contact.

Abstract: A system and method provide seamless control switchover through an input coupled to a power line and a safety apparatus that actuates if the input remains de-energized for a first time interval. Each of a plurality of subsystems has a control unit that controls a power source to energize the power line and is capable of transitioning between master and slave states. A first switch or second and third switches in series couple the power source to the power line. The first switch is closed during master state operation. The second switch is closed during slave operation and the third switch is open if any subsystem control unit is in master state. The system is configured to open or close the first switch, the second switch, or the third switch responsive to a transition of a control unit to or from master state within the first time interval.

Abstract: A system comprises a set of sensors on a first end of a vehicle having the first end and a second end, and a controller. The sensors are configured to generate corresponding sensor data based on a detected marker along a direction of movement of the vehicle. A first sensor has a first inclination angle with respect to the detected marker, and a second sensor has a second inclination angle with respect to the detected marker. The controller is configured to compare a time at which the first sensor detected the marker with a time at which the second sensor detected the marker to identify the first end or the second end as a leading end of the vehicle, and to calculate a position of the leading end of the vehicle based on the sensor data generated by one or more of the first sensor or the second sensor.
