Abstract: Vehicles may have the capability to navigate according to various levels of autonomous capabilities, the vehicle having a different set of autonomous competencies at each level. In certain situations, the vehicle may shift from one level of autonomous capability to another. The shift may require more or less driving responsibility from a human operator. Sensors inside the vehicle collect human operator parameters to determine an alertness level of the human operator. An alertness level is determined based on the human operator parameters and other data including historical data or human operator-specific data. Notifications are presented to the user based on the determined alertness level that are more or less intrusive based on the alertness level of the human operator and on the urgency of an impending change to autonomous capabilities. Notifications may be tailored to specific human operators based on human operator preference and historical performance.

Abstract: A phase to ground fault apparent (PGFA) admittance system and method with phase/ground boundaries for detecting electrical power line faults. The PGFA admittance method with phase/ground boundaries is based on measuring the A, B and C phase admittance magnitudes for faulted and non-faulted phases, resulting in greater than zero and near zero, respectively, and using the phase/ground boundaries to distinguish between the LL and LLG electrical faults. The PGFA admittance method with phase/ground boundaries is based on a pre-setting of values by using the zero, positive and negative sequences of power line sections, to determine phase and ground boundaries. The PGFA admittance algorithm with phase/ground boundaries was built with MATLAB/Simulink software and tested and evaluated with a confusion matrix. The measured and predicted values matched in more than 90% of the tests, and the PGFA admittance method presented an accuracy of 94.3% and a precision of 100%.
