Abstract: A marine power pedestal is disclosed. The power pedestal is configured to connect to a mobile device comprising a main body, one or more electrical power units disposed in the main body and configured to conduct power to a marine vessel, one or more display screens, one or more sensors. A controller including a network interface is configured to communicate with a mobile device via a communication network, transmit data to a server via the communication network, and execute commands received, via the communication network, from the server or the mobile device.

Abstract: A method for evaluating performance of an operator of a service vehicle, such as a cleaning vehicle, is disclosed. While the operator operates the service vehicle, sensor readings related to the operation of the service vehicle are collected, by means of one or more sensors of the service vehicle. The collected sensor readings are compared to a set of predefined corresponding sensor values reflecting operation of the service vehicle, and performance of the operator is evaluated based on the comparison.

Abstract: A refuse collection vehicle has a container collection arm with a telescoping boom coupled with a refuse stowage unit of the vehicle. A grasping mechanism is coupled with an end of the boom. A rotary actuator couples the grasping mechanism with the boom to enable a waste container to be moved between a pick up position and a dump position.

Abstract: A transport arrangement system operates to receive a transport request from a user, and to make a selection of a vehicle type for the user based at least in part on a set of criteria associated with the transport request or user information. For example, the determination of whether an autonomous vehicle is to be provided can be based at least in part on the destination specified with the transport request.

Abstract: A system can receive a transport request from a computing device of a requesting user, where the transport request indicates a service location. The system can determines a preliminary route for the transport request, and select an autonomous vehicle from a fleet of autonomous vehicles operating in the given area to service the transport request based on determining that the selected autonomous vehicle is capable of traversing the preliminary route without intervention.

Abstract: Sensor information is collected from human driven vehicles which are driven in a given region. From the sensor information, a road condition is detected on a road segment, where the road condition has a sufficiently high likelihood of impairing autonomous vehicles in safely navigating through the one or more road segments. Information about the one or more road segments is communicated to the one or more autonomous vehicles.

Abstract: An event is detected that impairs a confidence level of the autonomous vehicle in progressing through a current route. In response to detecting the event, the autonomous vehicle communicates information about the event to a remote source of guidance. The autonomous vehicle can receive instructions from the remote source of guidance on how to handle the event. The autonomous vehicle can then implement the instructions to handle the event while it operates.
