    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to collecting and processing data from computing devices of a plurality of autonomous vehicles (AVs). The data received from each of these AV computing devices may include raw sensor data or data that has been generated using data received by one or more sensors at respective AVs. Once this data is collected and associated with discrete locations and times, the data may be evaluated and used to generate mappings of various sorts. These mappings may include mappings of underground features generated based on an evaluations of vibration data. Alternatively, or additionally, these mapping may include mappings of landscape features, atmospheric features, or the locations of aircraft from data associated with certain types of sensing apparatus, for example radar apparatus or light detecting and ranging (LiDAR) apparatus.

    摘要: A boarding position setting method, a boarding position setting device, and a boarding position setting system are provided. The boarding position setting method, the boarding position setting device, and the boarding position setting system each recognizes a stop position of a vehicle based on vehicle information, determines whether the stop position is suitable for boarding based on a stop time of the vehicle or occurrence of a boarding event of the vehicle at the stop position, stores the stop position determined to be suitable for boarding as a boarding position in the vehicle dispatch service, acquires a first vehicle dispatch request to the vehicle dispatch service and sets the boarding position based on the first vehicle dispatch request from among stored boarding positions.

    摘要: A method is disclosed. A data set including: (a) identifiers of a set of incidents occurring within a defined geographic region to which at least one service provider responded during a first time period and (b) address data identifying a location within the geographic region of each said incident of the set is retrieved over a network. An instruction to generate a heat map of the incidents occurring within the geographic region during the first time period is received from a user via a user interface generated to a display device. In response to the instruction to generate the heat map, the address data is converted to GPS data. A heat map of an aerial view of the geographic region based on the GPS data is generated. The heat map is displayed to the display device in a user interface.

    摘要: A system for utilizing object tracking algorithms for tracking objects external to a vehicle includes a processor and a memory in communication with the processor. The object tracking algorithms include a lower computationally demanding object tracking algorithm and a higher computationally demanding object tracking algorithm. The memory has one or more modules that have instructions that cause the processor to determine if the vehicle is located in an urban setting or a non-urban setting and utilize the lower computationally demanding object tracking algorithm by an object tracking system when the vehicle is located in the non-urban setting. If it is determined that the vehicle is in an urban setting, the instructions cause the processor to determine available computational resources of the object tracking system and utilizing either the lower computationally demanding object tracking algorithm or the higher computationally demanding object tracking algorithm based on the available computational resources.
