Abstract: A perception module is configured to perceive a driving environment surrounding an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) based on sensor data, and to generate perception information using various perception models or methods. The perception information describes the perceived driving environment. Based on the perception information, a planning module is configured to plan a trajectory representing a route or a path for a current planning cycle. The ADV is then controlled and driven based on the trajectory. In addition, the planning module determines a critical region (also referred to as a critical area) surrounding the ADV based on the trajectory in view of a current location or position of the ADV. The metadata describing the critical region is transmitted to the perception module via an application programming interface (API) to allow the perception module to generate perception information for a next planning cycle in view of the critical region.

Abstract: An intelligent data management system leverages heterogeneous database technologies and cloud technology to manage data for reservoir simulations across the lifetime of a corresponding energy asset(s) and facilitates access of that data by various consumers despite changing compute platforms and adoption of open source paradigms. The intelligent data management system identifies the various data units that constitute a reservoir simulation output for storage and organization. The intelligent data management system organizes the constituent data units across a file system and object database based on correspondence with different simulation run attributes: project, study, and model. The intelligent data management system also learns to specify or guide configuration of simulation runs.

Abstract: Via a first processing thread, an ADV is controlled according to a first trajectory that was generated based on a first reference line starting at a first location. Concurrently via a second processing thread, a second reference line is generated based on a second location of the first trajectory that the ADV will likely reach within a predetermined period of time in future. The predetermined period of time is greater than or equals to an amount of time to generate a reference line for the ADV. The second reference line is generated while the ADV is moving according to the first trajectory and before reaching the second location. Subsequently, in response to determining that the ADV is within a predetermined proximity of the second location, a second trajectory is generated based on the second reference line without having to calculate the second reference line at the second location.
