Abstract: In an approach to improve the management of operating vehicles through smart contracts, embodiments generate a priority score based on received sensor feeds from a vehicle, co-located vehicles, and a smart contract rule. Further, embodiments assign the priority score to the vehicle and the co-located vehicles and the co-located vehicles and identify that the assigned priority score of the vehicle is higher than the co-located vehicles. Additionally, embodiments manage an operation of the co-located vehicles through a computing device within the co-located vehicles based on the smart contract rule and the priority score and create a priority lane for the vehicle by repositioning the co-located vehicles.

Abstract: Techniques described herein provide for leader selection of a group of vehicles, based on inter-vehicle communications. According to embodiments, a host vehicle can determine it qualifies to be the leader of a potential group by comparing vehicle information of other cars in the potential group with its own vehicle information. Once the determination has been made, the host vehicle can then send a request to be the group leader to the other vehicles. If the other vehicles accept, the host vehicle can initiate group formation. Otherwise, another vehicle can reject the request and send its own request to become the group leader, reinitiating group leader negotiation until a group leader is determined.

Abstract: A system and method include a hydraulic system onboard an aircraft, a first temperature sensor, a second temperature sensor, and a controller. The first temperature sensor measures a first temperature of hydraulic fluid upstream of an inlet of a pump of the hydraulic system. The second temperature sensor measures a second temperature of the hydraulic fluid within a cooling flow stream downstream of an outlet of the pump. The controller determines a value of a temperature rise of the hydraulic fluid across the pump as a difference between the first temperature and the second temperature, and obtains an expected range for the temperature rise across the pump based on a speed of the pump. In response to the value of the temperature rise being outside of the expected range, the controller generates a maintenance message for communication off-board the aircraft, indicating the pump is degraded.
