  • Patent number: 11220264
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for managing scooter fleets based on geolocation boundaries. In certain embodiments, individual scooters of the scooter fleet may be associated with geographical areas in which they are allowed to operate, and such areas may be defined by a geolocation boundary. The geographical areas may be provided to prevent scooters from being used and subsequently left in an undesirable location (for example, at an airport terminal or an area where crime is commonplace).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 7, 2019
    Date of Patent: January 11, 2022
    Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLC
    Inventors: Sandro Nuesch, Mathew Boesch, Ahsan Qamar, Anita Stoffer, Anthony Tsakiris, Rashmi Hegde

  • Patent number: 10266175
    Abstract: A plurality of targets are identified. A path for each target is predicted. A threat number for each target is determined based at least in part on the predicted paths. The threat number indicates a probability of a collision between the respective target and a host vehicle. One or more vehicle subsystems in the host vehicle is actuated based on the threat numbers.

  • Patent number: 10025319
    Abstract: A controller includes a processor and a memory storing processor-executable instructions in a host vehicle. The processor is programmed to designate a target vehicle as a collision risk upon determining that an intersection angle between the host vehicle and the target vehicle is between preset lower and upper bounds and an absolute value of an azimuth angle rate of change of the host vehicle is below a preset threshold.

  • Patent number: 10011277
    Abstract: A path of a target object is predicted. A path of a non-moving host vehicle is predicted based on at least one of a predetermined host vehicle acceleration and a predetermined host vehicle speed. A threat number for the target is determined based at least in part on the predicted path of the host vehicle, the threat number indicating a probability of a collision between the target and the host vehicle. A brake is actuated when the threat number is above a threat number threshold.
