Abstract: An anchorless crash cushion apparatus comprises a number of crash cushion elements and a number of hinge plate assemblies. The crash cushion elements are configured to be connected end-to-end. Each hinge plate assembly comprises a forward structure, a rearward structure, and a wedge incline. The forward structure supports the front end of one of the crash cushion elements. The rearward structure supports the rear end of the crash cushion element. The wedge incline extends diagonally upward toward the forward structure and is configured to drive a subsequent one of the crash cushion elements upward when the forward structure is driven toward the subsequent one of the crash cushion elements.

Abstract: In an example, a subject using a user mobile-identification-credential device (UMD) requests vetting by a vetting system, which receives verified subject information associated with a level-n mobile identification credential (MIC-n) that UMD received from a level-n authorizing party system (APS-n). MIC-n is linked to lower level MIC-0 to MIC-(n?1). The vetting system, as level-n relying party system (RPS-n), uses the verified subject information associated with the linked MIC-0 to MIC-n to verify or not verify the identity of the subject, develops an identity profile of the subject, and determines a vetting result of the subject by calculating a composite trust score based on MIC trust values for the multiple levels of MIC. MIC-i (i=1 to n) is linked to MIC-(i?1) which UMD received from APS-(i?1), and APS-i is RPS-(i?1) which verified the identity of the subject using verified subject information associated with MIC-(i?1), such that MIC-0 to MIC-n are linked.

Abstract: In an example, a method includes receiving, by an election office system from a voter device, a request for a voting ballot for an election, part or all of voter ID information associated with a first mobile identification credential which the voter device received from a first authorizing party system (APS), and consented data indication which indicates the part or all of voter ID information that is authorized by the voter device for release by the first APS to the election office system, the part or all of voter ID information to be verified to the election office system by the first APS; and using the verified part or all of voter ID information to verify or not verify an identity of the voter. The identity of the voter is to be verified before the election office system grants the request to provide the voting ballot to the voter.

Abstract: In an example, a provider system receives from a user device a request for user access through a checkpoint. The provider system sends to the user device a request for identification information of the user. The provider system receives user information associated with a mobile identification credential (MIC) which the user device received from an authorizing party system (APS), the user having consented to release the user information to the provider system, and the user information having been verified by the APS. The provider system uses the verified user information associated with the MIC to verify or not verify the identity of the user. The provider system verifies the identity of the user before granting the user the request for user access through the checkpoint.

Abstract: An anchorless crash cushion apparatus comprises a number of crash cushion elements and a nose assembly. The crash cushion elements are configured to be directly or indirectly connected end-to-end. The nose assembly is configured to be connected to one of the crash cushion elements and includes a forward component and a rearward component. The forward component includes a vertical section configured to engage the vehicle and a wedge incline extending diagonally upward toward the vertical section. The rearward component is configured to be driven upward by the wedge incline when the forward component is driven toward the rearward component by the vehicle.

Abstract: In an example, a provider system receives from a client device a request for client access. The provider system sends to the client device a request for identification information of the client. The provider system receives client information associated with a mobile identification credential (MIC) which the client device received from an authorizing party system (APS), the client having consented to release the client information to the provider system, and the client information having been verified by the APS. The provider system uses the verified client information associated with the MIC to verify or not verify the identity of the client. The provider system verifies the identity of the client before granting the client the request for client access.

Abstract: An apparatus verifies hosted information associated with a user. The apparatus establishes, by the online host serving as a relying party system (RPS), a secure connection between the RPS and a user mobile-identification-credential device (UMD). The RPS sends a mobile identification credential (MIC) user information request to the UMD, via the secure connection, seeking release of MIC user information (official information). The RPS obtains from authorizing party system (APS) verification of the MIC user information received in response to the MIC user information request. The RPS stores the MIC user information as hosted information pertaining to the user. The RPS designates the hosted information as base truth information representing the user.

Abstract: A crash cushion includes a number of spaced-apart supports or bulkheads; energy absorbing modules positioned between the supports; overlapping side panels that interconnect the supports and envelop the energy absorbing modules; front and rear fixed anchors; and reinforcing cables extending between the anchors. The cables extend through cable guides formed in the supports so as to stabilize the supports and facilitate controlled collapse of the supports during vehicle impacts.

Abstract: In an example, a provider system receives from a client device a request for client sign-on access. The provider system sends to the client device a request for identification information of the client. The provider system receives client information associated with a first mobile identification credential (MIC) which the client device received from an authorizing party system (APS), the client having consented to release the client information to the provider system, and the client information having been verified by the APS. The provider system uses the verified client information associated with the first MIC to verify or not verify the identity of the client. The provider system verifies the identity of the client before granting the client the request for client sign-on access.

Abstract: A vehicle information remote retrieval method includes an emergency personnel or first responder vehicle (FRV) establishing a vehicle connection between an infotainment system of a vehicle and the FRV. The FRV sends a vehicle information request to the infotainment system of the vehicle, via the vehicle connection, seeking release of vehicle information. The FRV obtains authentication of the vehicle information received in response to the vehicle information request. The FRV determines occupant status based on the vehicle information. The FRV communicates the passenger status to a first responder.

Abstract: A provider system is connected to readers disposed at distances from the provider system. A secure local connection is established between the client device and the provider system via one of the readers. Before the client reaches an access touchpoint, the provider system receives from the client device a request for client access, the provider system sends to the client device a request for identification information of the client, and the client device sends client information associated with a first mobile identification credential (MIC) which the client device received from an authorizing party system (APS), the client having consented to release the client information to the provider system, and the client information having been verified. The provider system performs a liveness check of the client using live-captured biometric information at the access touchpoint, determines whether the liveness check is valid, and grants the request if the liveness check is valid.
