Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a trajectory of a vehicle are disclosed. The methods include generating a spatial domain speed profile for a path represented as a sequence of poses of a vehicle between a first point and a second point. Generation of the spatial domain speed profile uses a longitudinal problem while excluding a derate interval on the path when speed of the vehicle cannot exceed a threshold. The methods further include generating a derate profile using the spatial domain speed profile and the derate interval, and transforming the derate interval to a temporal derate interval. The temporal derate interval may include time steps at which the speed of the vehicle cannot exceed the threshold while traversing the path, and may be used as an input to the longitudinal problem for generating a trajectory of the vehicle for navigating between the first point and the second point.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for encoding and decoding video data for machine applications, such as Video Coding for Machines, using inference models. An encoder uses an inference selector to determine an appropriate inference model to encode a feature substream. The encoder further employs an inference metadata encoder to encode parameters of the selected inference model into an inference metadata substream, which can be multiplexed with the feature substream to generate an encoded bitstream to send to a decoder site. A decoder receiving the encoded bitstream, extracts the inference metadata, selects the appropriate inference model, and applies that inference model in decoding the feature substream and generating a decoded output signal for machine consumption.

Abstract: Systems and methods to predict and apply regenerative braking using GPS (global positioning system) and IMU (inertial measurement unit) data. Techniques described herein may be utilized to use a vehicle's current GPS position and IMU sensor data to determine charging availability for electric or hybrid vehicles.

If the next route elevation level is above a threshold, value, the vehicle's motor may be automatically swapped for regenerating energy. Accordingly, recharging operations may be performed in a wide change of scenarios, including those where a driver has not engaged the brake pedal.
