Publication number: 20240422722Abstract: A real-time location system for tracking assets at a site includes at least one tracking tag, a plurality of locating device nodes and a plurality of gateways. The plurality of locating device nodes are each configured to connect wirelessly with and transmit a locating signal to a first one of the plurality of gateways, receive an acknowledgement signal from the gateway acknowledging receipt at an acknowledged received signal strength and determine whether the acknowledged received signal strength meets pre-established conditions. The plurality of locating device nodes are further configured to set a listen before talk threshold according to historical noise floor readings. Each of the plurality of gateways is configured to receive one or more locating signals and to determine connection between the gateway and the server has failed and disconnect the wirelessly connected locating device node from the gateway.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2024Publication date: December 19, 2024Inventors: Daniel Yang, Fabrizio Polo, Isaac Davenport, Robert Hampe, Nicholas McCusker, Kevin Christensen

Patent number: 11827243Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for implementing automated vehicle safety response measures to ensure continued safe automated vehicle operation for a limited period of time after a vehicle component or vehicle system that supports an automated vehicle driving function fails. When a critical vehicle component/system such as a vehicle computing platform fails, the vehicle is likely no longer capable of performing calculations required to safely operate and navigate the vehicle in an autonomous manner, or at a minimum, is no longer able to ensure the accuracy of such calculations. In such a scenario, the automated vehicle safety response measures disclosed herein can ensure—despite failure of the vehicle component/system—continued safe automated operation of the vehicle for a limited period of time in order to bring the vehicle to a safe stop.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2020Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Pony AI Inc.Inventors: Bokai Chen, Qi Wang, Daniel Yang
