Abstract: Embodiments of a system, device and method improve weather modeling approaches for use by air vehicles to mitigate weather hazards and/or optimize air vehicle operations. Various embodiments collect a set of independent measurements of atmospheric parameters of interest, collect a set of onboard measurements from one or more non-traditional atmospheric sensors onboard an air vehicle, process the collected measurements to identify values of selected atmospheric parameters and generate a model for relating raw sensor outputs from the non-traditional atmospheric sensors to the atmospheric parameters of interest.
Abstract: Blended operator and autonomous control in an autonomous vehicle, including: receiving sensor data from a plurality of sensors of an autonomous vehicle; determining, based on the sensor data, a degree of autonomous control for each control input of a plurality of control inputs; and applying the degree of autonomous control for each control input of the plurality of control inputs.

Abstract: The on-board apparatus 50 calculates an automated driving route of the vehicle 55 from the parking space of the vehicle 55 to the destination and an estimated time required to reach the destination in the case in which the vehicle 55 drives by automated driving by following the automated driving route. The server apparatus 30 calculates a walking travel route in the case of traveling by walk from the position of the terminal apparatus 10 to the parking space of the vehicle 55 and an estimated time required to reach the parking space of the vehicle 55 in the case of walking by following the walking travel route. The terminal apparatus 10 displays at the display unit 140 the automated driving route, the estimated time required for the automated driving route, the walking travel route, and the estimated time required for the walking travel route; and when a selection of the automated driving route is accepted, the terminal apparatus 10 starts the drive of the autonomous vehicle.
Abstract: A boarding/deboarding point providing system includes a probe vehicle group, a data server, and an on-board unit or a mobile terminal. When vehicle data transmitted from the probe vehicle group are input, the data server extracts a boarding/deboarding point suitable for boarding a vehicle or deboarding a vehicle from the vehicle data, and stores the point while updating the boarding/deboarding point information database. When a request for boarding/deboarding point information is received from the on-board unit or the mobile terminal, the boarding/deboarding point information stored in the boarding/deboarding point information database is searched for a boarding/deboarding point that meets the request conditions, and the search result that includes the boarding/deboarding point is transmitted to the on-board unit or the mobile terminal.
