Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for providing improved privacy protection against vehicle tracking for connected vehicles of a vehicular network. For example, at least one road side unit may: identify a set of vehicles that require pseudonym changes and send an invitation for a pseudonym change event to each of the vehicles, determine at least a total number of the acceptances, determine whether the total number meets or exceeds a predetermined threshold number, send acknowledgement messages to the accepting vehicles if the threshold number is met, and form a vehicle group to coordinate the pseudonym change event during a privacy period. During the privacy period, the RSU and the vehicles may communicate with each other in a confidential and private manner via key-session-based unicast transmission, and coordinate transmission power and vehicle trajectory adjustments to maximize the benefits for safety and obfuscation for privacy.

Abstract: A sensor calibrator comprising one or more processors configured to receive sensor data representing a calibration pattern detected by a sensor during a period of relative motion between the sensor and the calibration pattern in which the sensor or the calibration pattern move along a linear path of travel; determine a calibration adjustment from the plurality of images; and send a calibration instruction for calibration of the sensor according to the determined calibration adjustment. Alternatively, a sensor calibration detection device, comprising one or more processors, configured to receive first sensor data detected during movement of a first sensor along a route of travel; determine a difference between the first sensor data and stored second sensor data; and if the difference is outside of a predetermined range, switch from a first operational mode to a second operational mode.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for wireless sensor networks (WSNs), including vehicle-based WSNs. A road side unit (RSU) includes one or more fixed sensors covering different sectors of a designated coverage area. The RSU uses the sensors to capture sensor data that is representative of objects in the coverage area, tracks objects (e.g., vehicles) in the coverage area, and determines regions in the coverage area that are not adequately covered by the sensors (e.g., “perception gaps”). When the RSU identifies an object that is in or at a perception gap, then the RSU sends a request to that object for sensor data captured by the object's on-board sensors. The RSU obtains the sensor data from the object, and uses the obtained sensor data to complement the knowledge that the RSU (i.e., “filling the peception gaps”). Other embodiments are disclosed and/or claimed.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods for improving the safety of a robot. The safety system may determine a safety envelope of a robot based on a planned movement of the robot and based on state information about a load carried by a robot. The state information may include a dynamic status of the load. The safety system may also determine a safety risk based on a detected object with respect to the safety envelope. The safety system may also generate a mitigating action to the planned movement if the safety risk exceeds a threshold value.

Using the data a harassment score and/or classification for a behavior may be determined. Using the harassment score and/or classification, a determination may be made as to when the harassment score and/or classification for the behavior exceeds a threshold. When the threshold is exceeded, a protection system and/or action engine may be activated to mitigate the inappropriate behavior.
