Abstract: Systems and methods for providing drone activity cloud services to cloud consumers using cloud and edge computing are provided. The drone monitoring service is rendered by drone sensors detecting and identifying drones, cloud and edge servers aggregating drone activity data from sensors and UAS traffic management systems, and cloud consumers monitoring drone activities using cloud and edge devices to access the cloud. The drone data analytics service reports drone activity statistics, predicted drone activities, and abnormal behaviors to cloud consumers based on the statistics and behavior models obtained by machine learning and federated learning techniques. The drone mitigation service, when initiated by cloud consumers, determines how to optimally configure sensors and collaboratively send signals to deactivate unauthorized drones. Moreover, data processing, artificial intelligence, mobility support, and traffic management functional units empower cloud and edge servers to support these cloud services.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a blind spot alert system designed for alerting vehicles approaching from multiple directions.

This sub-system includes Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors to detect thermal radiation of animate entities, Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) sensors to measure vectored distances of surrounding objects, Ultrasonic sensors for non-vectored distance measurement, and Doppler speed measurement sensors to capture vehicle velocity and trajectory. A microcontroller processes the data from these sensors, analyses it to detect potential threats, and generates appropriate warning signals. These warning signals are transmitted to an indicator sub-system that provides visual or audible alerts to the approaching vehicles. Additionally, the system includes a server that receives and stores the analyzed data for further processing or record-keeping.

Abstract: A service inputs wind data and utility data corresponding to a utility component into a first machine learning model to determine an outage risk prediction representing a probability that the utility component will have an outage. The service determines a probability of ignition at a vicinity of the utility component, and determines a set of wildfire impact measurements by simulating a wildfire in the vicinity of the utility component. The service inputs the outage risk prediction, the probability of ignition, and the set of wildfire impact measurements into a second machine learning model, and receives as output from the second machine learning model, a catastrophic wildfire risk score corresponding to the utility component. The service outputs a graphical representation on a dashboard representing the catastrophic wildfire risk score.
