Abstract: A warning system is provided for alerting a VRU of a predicted collision. The system includes one or more input devices for transmitting first and second input signals for associated first and second vehicles. The system further includes a UWB beacon communicating with a UWB tag of a VRU notification device carried by the VRU. A location of the UWB tag is trackable via a third input signal. The system further includes a computer having one or more processors and a non-transitory computer readable medium. The processor is programmed to determine the location of the VRU and further determine the predicted collision between the second vehicle and the VRU. The processor is further programmed to generate a notification actuation signal associated with the VRU at a tracked location. The VRU notification device notifies the VRU that the second vehicle is headed toward the predicted collision site in the crosswalk.

Abstract: A method of controlling a reservation at a charging station for a vehicle includes a controller in communication with a remote advisory unit. The method includes positioning a ground lock at the charging slot, the ground lock being controllable through a station command unit. The method includes generating an identification number through the remote advisory unit and transmitting the identification number to the controller and the station command unit. The identification number is randomly generated. The ground lock is moved to a blocking position when an estimated time of arrival of the vehicle is less than a first threshold. The method includes broadcasting a message to the station command unit with the identification number, via the controller, when the estimated time of arrival is less than a second threshold. The ground lock is moved to a non-blocking position when an authentication process is completed.

Abstract: A warning system is provided for alerting a Vulnerable Road User (VRU) of a predicted collision. The system includes one or more input devices for transmitting a first input signal associated with a first vehicle positioned in a first lane, a second input signal associated with a second vehicle positioned in a second lane, and a third input signal associated with the VRU located on a crosswalk that extends across the first and second lanes. The system further includes a computer having a processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium. The processor is programmed to determine the predicted collision between the second vehicle and the VRU at a predicted collision site. The processor is further programmed to generate an actuation signal. One or more roadway notification devices notify the VRU that the second vehicle is positioned in the second lane and headed toward the predicted collision site in the crosswalk.

Abstract: A method for capturing, by a host vehicle camera, an image of a leading vehicle, estimating a leading vehicle dimension and a first distance between a host vehicle and the leading vehicle in response to the image, receiving a data indicative of a traffic signal location and a traffic signal cycle state, determining a second distance between the host vehicle and the traffic signal, estimating a traffic signal view obstruction in response to the leading vehicle dimension, the first distance, and the second distance, and generating a graphical user interface indicative of the traffic signal cycle state in response to the traffic signal view obstruction.

Abstract: A method for providing a driver alert including receiving a traffic signal phase state and a time remaining in the traffic signal phase state, determining a move forward time in response to the traffic signal phase state being red and the time remaining in the traffic signal phase state, displaying the move forward time to a driver, determining a driver attentiveness level, and generating a driver alert in response to the driver attentiveness level being below a threshold attentiveness level and the move forward time being less than a threshold time.

Abstract: Systems and method are provided for notifying an operator of a vehicle of reverse operation of a vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes: determining, by a processor, reverse direction operation of a first vehicle on a road; selectively generating, by a processor, notification data based on the reverse operation, map data, camera data, and speed data, wherein the notification data includes information to notify an operator of a second vehicle of the reverse operation; and selectively generating, by a processor, communication data based on the reverse operation, wherein the communication data includes information to notify at least one of a third vehicle and a remote transportation system of the reverse direction operation.
