Patent number: 11351913Abstract: In an approach for determining the illumination necessary along a vehicle's planned trajectory, a processor receives information relevant to the trajectory of a vehicle. A processor estimates the position of the vehicle at the particular time on the trajectory of the vehicle, using the data from the sensors. A processor estimates an illumination of the trajectory of the vehicle, using the model of the illumination of the road network and the data from the sensors, wherein a threshold is employed. A processor determines the threshold is exceeded. A processor changes a setting of the at least one headlight on the vehicle. A processor determines the threshold is exceeded. A processor alerts the user of the vehicle when adjustments to the at least one headlight that are necessary to illuminate the trajectory of the vehicle exceed physical limitations of the at least one headlight.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2019Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jonathan P. Epperlein, Claudio Gambella, Yassine Lassoued, Jakub Marecek, Martin Mevissen, Julien Monteil, Giovanni Russo, Robert Shorten, Wynita M. Griggs, Rodrigo H. Ordonez-Hurtado

Patent number: 10983897Abstract: Embodiments for testing embedded systems and their applications in an Internet of Things (IoT) environment by a processor, denoted as a Hardware-in-the-Loop as a Service (HiLaaS). In a simulated environment, one or more simulated entities and one or more real entities in a networked system may be tested in real-time according to received control parameters, for a price. The price is estimated by the system, based on other parameters, and offered to the user to accept or reject. Alternatively, the user may specify the price, the system estimates control parameters, and the user can accept or reject the control parameters. One or more properties of the one or more entities, the network system, or combination thereof may be estimated based on the testing of the one or more simulated entities, when the price and control parameters are accepted.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2018Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Jonathan P.

Patent number: 10755560Abstract: A system and method for real-time pollution control at a traffic junction are presented. A pollution level may be determined at the traffic junction according to weather, traffic volume, traffic type, pollution measurements, topology, or a combination thereof. A traffic volume threshold may be determined for the traffic junction to maintain the pollution level below a pollution threshold. One or more parameters of the traffic junction may be set to maintain traffic volume below the traffic volume threshold.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2018Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Jakub Marecek, Julien Monteil, Jonathan P.
