Abstract: A braking control apparatus includes a braking force control unit, a first abnormality detecting unit, a regenerative brake stopping unit, and a braking force compensating unit. The braking force control unit is configured to perform a braking force control by causing an engine brake, a regenerative brake, and a friction brake to operate in cooperation with each other. The regenerative brake stopping unit is configured to disconnect the regenerative brake from the braking force control, when an abnormality of the regenerative brake is detected by the first abnormality detecting unit. The braking force compensating unit is configured to perform a braking force compensation that utilizes the friction brake, from the detection of the abnormality of the regenerative brake until the regenerative brake is disconnected from the braking force control, by performing a feedback control on a deceleration rate at a time when the abnormality of the regenerative brake is detected.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to aggregation of data associated with events related to automotive vehicles. Automotive vehicles may include a variety of sensing devices used in local sensing operations. However, these sensing devices may not be leveraged beyond the local sensing operations. When automotive vehicles are operated, sometimes events occur. As discussed herein, an event-based data aggregation service may aggregate sensing data from one or more sensing devices, such as sensing devices of the automotive vehicles, in response to receiving an event notification associated with one or more of the events and may use the sensing data when responding to the event notification.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a controller determines whether the current performance of a piece of equipment satisfies a determination criterion, on the basis of the current state of the equipment, acquired by a sensor. If the controller determines that the current performance of the equipment does not satisfy the determination criterion, the controller calculates a parameter with which the performance of the equipment satisfies the determination criterion, on the basis of the current state of the equipment, acquired by the sensor, and the determination criterion. The controller changes a parameter managed by a storage device to the parameter calculated by the controller.

Abstract: Described is a two-level optimal path planning process for autonomous tractor-trailer trucks which incorporates offline planning, online planning, and utilizing online estimation and perception results for adapting a planned path to real-world changes in the driving environment. In one aspect, a method of navigating an autonomous vehicle includes determining, by an online server, a current vehicle state of the autonomous vehicle in a mapped driving area. The method includes receiving, by the online server from an offline path library, a path for the autonomous driving vehicle through the mapped driving area from the current vehicle state to a destination vehicle state, and receiving fixed and moving obstacle information. The method includes adjusting the path to generate an optimized path that avoids the fixed and moving obstacles and ends at a targeted final vehicle state, and navigating the autonomous vehicle based on the optimized path.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for improving the performance of anomaly detection, including detecting abnormal driving behavior at locations and in driving situations where the accuracy of detecting abnormal driving behavior has decreased or known to cause inaccurate performance responses. For example, the anomaly detection mechanism may detect abnormal driving behavior (e.g., delayed responses, road rage, swerving, etc.) or environmental anomalies (e.g., potholes, fallen trees, etc.), and particular driving situations or locations can have repeatedly shown decreased rates of accuracy with responding to these anomalies, including abnormal driving behavior (e.g., delayed driver responses to left-turns, U-turns, traffic light, railroad crossing, construction zones, etc.) or situations that are known to cause inaccurate performance responses (e.g., potholes, fallen trees, etc.). Embodiments can revise the anomaly detection system to operate the vehicle more consistently with other human drivers.

Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to detecting uncontrolled intersections and providing warnings. In response to a navigation request from a user device, the system generates a navigation route using integrated map data, whereby the integrated map data includes indications of uncontrolled intersections that comprise intersections where at least some of the traffic is not required to stop. The system causes presentation of the navigation route in a user interface on the user device and monitors navigation of a vehicle associated with the user device along the navigation route. If the system detects that the vehicle is approaching an uncontrolled intersection based on the monitoring and the integrated map data, the system causes presentation of a warning indicating the uncontrolled intersection in the user interface.
