  • Publication number: 20240083458
    Abstract: A simulation may be used to determine a difference between progress of a manually-driven vehicle and progress of a simulated autonomous vehicle. The method includes retrieving log data collected for the manually-driven vehicle driving along a route, generating a plurality of path segments for a portion of the route. The plurality of path segments corresponds to points in a lane that the manually-driven vehicle traveled through on the portion of the route. The method also includes running, using a software of the autonomous vehicle, a simulation of the autonomous vehicle driving along the plurality of path segments, extracting metrics from the log data and the simulation, and determining the difference between a first progress of the manually-driven vehicle and a second progress of the simulated autonomous vehicle based on the metrics.

  • Publication number: 20100200711
    Abstract: A meter stand and a method of manufacturing a meter stand. The meter stand includes a first post and a second post substantially parallel to the first post, each of the first post and the second post comprising a PVC hollow structure. The meter stand also includes a first support, a second support, and a third support extending between the first post and the second post. The first support, the second support, and the third support comprise a composite plastic material and are positioned on the first post and the second post to accommodate a meter box.
