Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product controls operations of a vehicle based on a condition of cargo being transported. One or more processors receive output from vehicle sensors on a first cargo vehicle, wherein the output from the vehicle sensors describes a movement of the first cargo vehicle. The processor(s) determine that the movement of the first cargo vehicle has caused cargo in the first cargo vehicle to shift beyond a predetermined amount, and instruct a second cargo vehicle to adjust operations of the second cargo vehicle based on determining that the movement of the first cargo vehicle has caused the cargo to shift beyond the predetermined amount in the first cargo vehicle.

Abstract: A V2X computing system to manage air quality by reducing carbon emissions by changing a vehicle mode of operation from fuel to battery. The system identifies the position of the vehicle and changes the mode of the vehicle to a target battery-based vehicle. The system calculates how much aggregated emission can be allowed within a defined time range around a geo-fencing area to identify appropriate distribution of battery-operated vehicle and fossil fuel-based vehicle to ensure the required air-quality. The system leverages historical data around environmental parameters like wind direction, speed, etc. for a period to calculate the emission requirements vs. predicted emission. The system uses this data to dynamically switch vehicle from using fuel power to battery power based on the capability available within the vehicle for environmental sustainability. The system further spaces vehicles appropriately to ensure the air quality is maintained on the road in a geo-fenced area.

Abstract: Managing machine layouts to improve machine activity workflows is provided. An analysis of a digital twin simulation of an environment is performed in accordance with a machine activity workflow corresponding to a plurality of machines located in the environment. A machine layout is generated for the environment that includes at least one of a particular set of machines having a determined amount of computational capability needed to analyze a type, volume, and frequency of data generated in each logical group of machines within the environment based on the analysis of the digital twin simulation. The machine layout is implemented automatically in the environment by positioning the at least one of the particular set of machines having the determined amount of computational capability needed to analyze the type, volume, and frequency of the data generated in each logical group of machines within the environment.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for dynamically altering a code execution workflow using augmented reality (AR). A computer receives, from an AR device of a user, virtual modification of a source code, where the user virtually alters the source code on the augmented realty device. A computer generates an altered execution workflow, based on a virtually altered source code created in the virtual modification. A computer overlays the altered execution workflow on the AR device. A computer executes the altered execution workflow, in response to receiving from the AR device a user request for testing the virtually altered source code. A computer displays on the augmented realty device a result of executing the altered execution workflow. A computer physically alters the source code according to the virtually altered source code, in response to receiving from the AR device satisfactory user feedback about the result.

Abstract: Provided is a computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product for increasing data diversity to enhance artificial intelligence decisions. A processor may generate a corpus of data for a facility, the corpus of data having activities performed by workers at the facility. The processor may select an activity to be completed. The processor may generate, based on the corpus, a first plan for completing the activity, the first plan having a set of tasks for completing the activity and a set of workers to perform the tasks. The processor may collect performance data that is generated when completing the activity using the first plan. The processor may update the corpus of data with the performance data. The processor may analyze the updated corpus of data to identify an aspect for improving efficiency of the first plan. The processor may recommend, based on the analyzing, modification of the first plan.
