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: A container includes a transportation section and a drone section. The drone section has a drone place holder and a door. The drone place holder is accessible when the door is in an open position. The container includes a processor that is programmed to actuate the door to the open position, actuate a drone, fittable in the drone place holder, to fly out of the container, and actuate the drone to transport the container to a destination.

Abstract: A computing device includes a camera configured to capture images of an area of a road, the area defining a geofence; and a processor, configured to responsive to detecting a traffic density within the geofence exceeding a predefined threshold, wirelessly broadcast a directional message within the geofence to request vehicles located within the geofence to temporarily disable individual messaging services having low priorities identified in the directional message, analyze vehicle traffic using images captured by the camera to detect a predefined traffic situation, responsive to detecting the predefined traffic situation initiated by one of the vehicles, generate a safety message reflecting the traffic situation, and broadcast the safety message to vehicles within the geofence.

Abstract: Vehicles that are autonomous or human-operated may drive in a platoon to achieve energy savings. A leader vehicle receives information broadcasts from following vehicles that include a state of energy and one or more other values such as energy usage rates, range, destination, and aerodynamic properties. The leader vehicle may then determine an ordering of vehicles that increases the range of the platoon, e.g., reduces the number of refueling/recharging stops of the platoon. Other considerations for ordering the vehicles may include overall energy savings and a fair distribution of energy savings. A desired ordering may be achieved by transmitting swap commands to pairs of vehicles until the platoon is in the correct ordering.

Abstract: A FODM for multi-radio access technology (RAT) vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication is provided. One or more hardware components are configured to receive connected messages from vehicles, the connected messages specifying vehicle information including vehicle locations of the vehicles; receive perception objects from sensors of roadside infrastructure, the perception objects specifying object locations as perceived by the sensors; utilize a fusion component to combine the vehicle locations and the object locations to form a consolidated object database including data elements specifying each of the vehicles and the perception objects; utilize a sensor data sharing message (SDSM) generator to generate SDSMs describing each of the data elements of the consolidated object database; and utilize a message broker to publish the SDSMs to topics for retrieval by the vehicles.

Abstract: A computer that includes a processor and memory which stores instructions executable by the processor. The instructions include: initiate, from a vehicle, a fuel delivery request for fuel delivery by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV); in response to the initiation, instruct a communication module in the vehicle to transmit a beacon signal to enable the UAV to locate the vehicle; and coordinate a docking procedure between the UAV and the vehicle to receive fuel from the UAV.
