Abstract: A method for controlling vehicle movement includes: obtaining, by a vehicle, at least one radio frequency (RF) signal metric for a plurality of RF signals broadcasted in a manufacturing environment; broadcasting, by the vehicle, a vehicle message when the at least one RF signal metric satisfies at least one RF communication issue condition; generating, by an infrastructure system, an RF map based on the vehicle message and at least one additional vehicle message from at least one additional vehicle; and dynamically adjusting an infrastructure message, by the infrastructure system, based on the RF map when the vehicle autonomously navigates within the manufacturing environment.

Abstract: A system for calibrating a vehicle includes a funnel-type wheel alignment system and an infrastructure system. The infrastructure system is configured to autonomously control a movement of the vehicle within the funnel-type wheel alignment system based on an autonomous marshaling routine and selectively adjust one or more parameters of the autonomous marshaling routine based on one or more calibration metrics generated by the funnel-type wheel alignment system. The funnel-type wheel alignment system is configured to: obtain steering wheel angle data from one or more vehicle sensors, determine a vehicle steering pinion angle offset based on the steering wheel angle data, perform a physical alignment of one or more wheels of the vehicle as the vehicle moves through the funnel-type wheel alignment system, generate the one or more calibration metrics based on the vehicle steering pinion angle offset and the physical alignment, and broadcast the one or more calibration metrics.

Abstract: A method for transmitting a request to join a marshaling convoy, receiving routing-localization information in response to the request, and controlling one or more sub-systems within a vehicle to enter a marshaling convoy based on the routing-localization information and a marshaling message, wherein the marshaling message causes the marshaling convoy to accommodate the vehicle.

Abstract: A method includes calculating, by a vehicle system, a pose information for a vehicle having the vehicle system, determining, by the vehicle system, whether the calculated pose information matches that of a vehicle pose information received from an infrastructure system, updating, by the vehicle system, a current pose of the vehicle based on the calculated pose information, transmitting, by the vehicle system, a notification regarding the inaccurate pose information to the infrastructure system, and controlling, by the vehicle system, movement of the vehicle based on a stored marshaling route until a stop condition is satisfied.
