Abstract: Computer software for and a method of enhancing safety for an operator of a motor vehicle comprising employing a plurality of sensors of vehicle and operator conditions, matching collective output from the sensors against a plurality of known dangerous conditions, and preventing certain activity of the operator if a known dangerous condition is detected.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for automating validation and verification of computer software that confirms during a test execution of the software that all lines of code are executed and all branches in the software are taken or not taken at least once. The computer software to be tested is compiled and a link map is generated. After compilation of the code, it is run in a test fixture to test all the required functions. During this test execution, a monitoring process is performed which documents which lines of code have been executed and whether certain branches of the code were either taken or not taken. An execution record is generated which indicates what instruction branches were taken and were not taken. A comparison is then made between the link map originally generated and the instruction record generated to determine what lines of code were executed, whether each branch was taken at least once, and whether a branch was not taken at least once.

Abstract: A mission planning costing surface is formed from digital terrain elevation data of a given geographical region and is for use in routing covert flight paths. To form the costing surface, a hideability map is generated from the digital terrain elevation data by assigning line of sight area values to points within the digital terrain elevation data. The hideability map is indicative of hideable areas within the geographical region. The hideability map is then quantized by assigning each of the line of sight area values to one of a set number of quantization levels. A flyability map is formed from the digital terrain elevation data by determining slopeness values for points within the digital terrain elevation data. The flyability map is indicative of flyable areas of the geographical region. The flyability map is quantized by assigning each of the slopeness values to one of the quantization levels.
