Abstract: A method for detecting a parking area on at least one road section includes providing a usable width of the road section. The usable width represents a passable width of the road section between parking vehicles. The method further includes travelling on the road section using a detector vehicle and detecting lateral distances from objects with a detector device arranged in the detector vehicle. The method also includes comparing the detected lateral distances with the usable width, and detecting the parking area based on the comparison.

Abstract: Methods and systems for performing root cause analysis for an assembly line including a plurality of nodes using path tracking. One method includes receiving tracking data identifying a subset of the plurality of nodes processing a product produced by the assembly line and receiving approval data associated with the assembly line identifying whether each product produced by the assembly line fails an approval metric. The method also includes enumerating a plurality of paths through the assembly line based on the tracking data and determining a failure rate for each of the plurality of paths based on the approval data. In addition, the method includes identifying a malfunctioning path included in the plurality of paths based on the failure rate for each of the plurality of paths, identifying a malfunctioning node based on the malfunctioning path, and performing an automatic action to address the malfunctioning node.

Abstract: Systems and methods for diagnosing a vehicle using sound data. One system includes a server storing a plurality of models and a communication device including a microphone. The communication device is configured to receive sound data received through the microphone associated with the vehicle and wirelessly transmit a diagnosis request to the server. The server is configured to receive the diagnosis request and select a model based on the vehicle data. The server is also configured to apply the selected model to the sound data to generate a response to the diagnosis request and wirelessly transmit the response to the diagnosis request to the communication device. The communication device is further configured to output at least a portion of the response on an output mechanism of the wireless communication device, the response including at least one diagnosis of the vehicle.
