Abstract: A vehicle, hitch, and articulating trailer include vehicle to vehicle and infrastructure communications and vehicle computing systems, which have a controller coupled to and/or including one or more of a dynamics measurement unit, a transceiver, and a position sensor, among other components. The controller(s) are configured to, in response to detecting positions of trailer corners from the position sensor, generate vehicle and trailer relative orientation and navigation data including location, velocity, and orientation, utilizing vehicle and trailer electronic polyhedrons articulating about a hitch point and representing the combination vehicle and trailer predicted path and envelopes. In response to detected trailer movement relative to the hitch point, the generated articulated polyhedrons are generated with the navigation data, which includes the location, speed, and orientation, which are in turn communicated to nearby vehicles and roadway infrastructure. Initial trailer vertices may be generated with wireless and mobile devices to generate the trailer polyhedron.

Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to detect user proximity to a rental vehicle. The processor is also configured to instruct a user to photograph an identified portion of a vehicle. The processor is further configured to receive an image captured using a mobile device, including the processor, responsive to the instruction. Also, the processor is configured to determine if a predefined threshold correspondence between the captured image and a predefined image is met and transmit confirmation to the vehicle, responsive to the predefined threshold correspondence.

Abstract: Managing vehicle application usage of computing resources is provided. A request for computing resources of a communications network is received from a vehicle application installed to a vehicle. An access point name (APN) is assigned to the vehicle application based on an application identifier corresponding to the vehicle application by accessing stored APN information including a mapping of application identifiers to corresponding APNs. The computing resources are accessed by the vehicle application connecting to the communications network using the APN.

Abstract: Data fusion of radio frequency (RF) and visual data is provided. Via a transceiver of a vehicle, a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) message is received from a remote road entity, the V2X message including one or more V2X data elements descriptive of the remote road entity. Using a camera of the vehicle, modulated light data is captured within a sensing area surrounding an ego road entity, the modulated light data being sent from the remote road entity. A modulated light transmission in the modulated light data is decoded to identify one or more light data elements in the modulated light data descriptive of the road entity. An association of the one or more V2X data elements is performed with the one or more light data elements to identify associated V2X camera objects where the V2X message and the modulated light data are fused into a combined representation of the remote road entity.

Abstract: A sequence of connected messages is transmitted using Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) of a predefined period. A random value for a 1-shot duration timer is set, the random value being chosen as being between a minimum and a maximum multiple of the predefined period. Responsive to expiration of the 1-shot duration timer, 1-shot resources are allocated for a 1-shot transmission, independent of SPS-allocated resources of the SPS, and a next packet of the sequence of connected messages is transmitted as a 1-shot message using the 1-shot resources instead of using the SPS-allocated resources of the SPS.

Abstract: A broadcast filtering system for a vehicle includes a controller programmed to, in response to receiving a commercial offering from a broadcasting business via a dedicated short-range network broadcast and identifying a match between a classification associated with the business and a user-defined preferred classification associated with the vehicle, display the offering, and, in response to identifying no match between the respective classifications, prevent the display.

Abstract: A vehicle including a human machine interface (HMI); a light sensor configured to receive a light pulse emitted from an illumination device, wherein the light pulse includes an original message in a modulated format; and one or more controllers programmed to demodulate the light pulse to obtain the original message, wherein the original message identifies an object on which the illumination device is attached, convert the original message into a processed message, and output the processed message via the HMI.

Abstract: Scheduling communications using a plurality of wireless interfaces is provided. Signals are monitored that are received from a first antenna configured to send and/or receive first messages over a first message protocol. Using the signals, time slot information is updated that is indicative of which equally-sized consecutive future time slots the first antenna is predicted to transmit and/or receive the first messages. A transmission is scheduled of a second message over a second antenna configured to send and/or receive second messages over a second message protocol using the time slot information to avoid out-of-band emission (OOBE) interference.

Abstract: In an opportunistic packet retransmission strategy, responsive to determining that a retransmission mode is set, a retransmission probability is calculated using minimum and maximum channel busy level retransmission thresholds, such that if a channel busy level of a communication channel is less than a minimum channel busy level retransmission threshold then a retransmission probability is set to 100%, if the channel busy level is greater than the maximum channel busy level then the retransmission probability is set to 0%, and within the minimum and maximum channel busy level retransmission thresholds the retransmission probability is set to decrease from 100% to 0% as a channel busy level of the communication channel rises from the minimum channel busy level retransmission threshold to the maximum channel busy level retransmission threshold. The message is retransmitted responsive to randomly determining whether to retransmit according to the retransmission probability.
