Abstract: Methods of determining which kinematic model an autonomous vehicle (AV) should use to predict motion of a detected moving actor are disclosed. One or more sensors of the AV sensors will detect a moving actor. The AV will assign one or more probable classes to the actor, and it will process the information to determine a kinematic state of the actor. The system will query a library of kinematic models to return one or more kinematic models that are associated with each of the probable classes. The system will apply each of the returned kinematic models to predict trajectories of the actor. The system will then evaluate each of the forecasted trajectories of the actor against the kinematic state of the actor to select one of the returned kinematic models to predict a path for the actor. The system will then use the predicted path to plan motion of the AV.

Abstract: A system and method preserves raw vibration data for a physical event involving a transport vehicle such as a helicopter, plane, boat, car, or truck. The event may involve unexpected mechanical stresses on the vehicle. The system and method preserves raw vibration data for parts of the transport vehicle, such as from multiple points along the drive train. The preserved raw vibration data includes data from time prior to the physical event. In an embodiment, the system and method continuously detects vibration data, and stores the most recent vibration data in a circular memory buffer. The buffer is continually updated with the most current vibration data. When an event is automatically detected or manually triggered, the most recently saved vibration data is transferred from the buffer to permanent storage, along with vibration data obtained subsequent to the event. This allows for a more thorough post-event analysis.
