    摘要: A vehicle crowd sensing system and method of selective sensing for the vehicle crowd sensing system. The method, in one implementation, involves receiving a plurality of detection reports from a first set of vehicles, each detection report including an event, a position qualifier of the event, and a severity qualifier of the event; developing an inherent error model for the event that includes a compilation of the position qualifiers of the event and the severity qualifiers of the event; and determining a resampling instruction for the event. The resampling instruction is based on an action model and the action model is at least partly a factor of the inherent error model.

    摘要: A digital key sharing system includes an electronic circuit and a first server computer. The electronic circuit is configured to store a plurality of digital keys, receive a plurality of key sharing requests, and generate a plurality of features in response to the plurality of key sharing requests. The first server computer is in wireless communication with the electronic circuit and is configured to generate an alert signal in response to finding one or more anomalies in the plurality of features to initiate a notification to a primary user device associated with the electronic circuit, and send a suspend notification signal to the electronic circuit in response to the finding of the one or more anomalies in the plurality of features. The electronic circuit is further configured to suspend use of the plurality of digital keys in response to reception of the suspend notification signal.

    摘要: In various embodiments, methods, systems, and vehicles are provided for distance determinations using cameras from different vehicles. The system includes a first camera onboard a first vehicle, providing a first image, the first image having therein an object of interest (OOI) for which a distance from the first vehicle is desired; and a second camera, providing second camera data including a second image having therein the OOI. The system further includes a control module configured to process and time synchronize first camera data and second camera data to generate a distance determination for the OOI, using the first camera data, the second camera data, and a distance between the first and second camera.

    摘要: A processor-implemented method by a message recipient in a vehicle or on a mobile device for decoding overlapping wireless messages is provided. The method comprises: receiving a first message from a first message sender that overlaps with a second message received from a second message sender; estimating, in a first signal recovery phase, a received data symbol (d0) from the first message and a channel impulse response (h1) corresponding to a data channel between the message recipient and the second message sender; estimating, in a second signal recovery phase, a received data symbol (d0)′ from the first message and a received data symbol (d1) from the second message; and reconstructing the first message from the estimated data symbol (d0) estimated in the first signal recovery phase and estimated data symbol (d0)′ estimated during the second signal recovery phase and reconstructing the second message from the estimated data symbol (d1) estimated during the second signal recovery phase.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: Disclosed are vehicle communications networks for adapting user information using crowd-sensed contextual data, computer-executable instructions for provisioning such content/information, and vehicles equipped with a telematics system for adapting driver information using contextual data from vehicle participatory sensing systems. A disclosed method for provisioning information to occupants of a motor vehicle includes determining trip characteristics, including vehicle and driver data, for a current trip of the vehicle, and determining trip characteristics for previous trips that correspond to the current trip. The vehicle's communications system receives, over a distributed computer network from a vehicle participatory sensing system aggregating data from participative vehicles, operational data for the current trip as sensed by the participative vehicles. The received operational data is analyzed with the current and previous trip characteristics to determine a predicted trip duration and/or a predicted trip route. An electronic user interface of the vehicle outputs the predicted trip duration and/or route.
