Abstract: A method for generating a heat map of a surface area is provided. The method includes receiving sensor data from one or more sensors in communication with a hardware processor and positioned such that the surface area is within a field of view of the one or more sensors. The method also includes identifying one or more traffic participants from the sensor data. Additionally, the method includes determining one or more attributes associated with each one of the one or more traffic participants. The method includes generating the heat map based on the one or more traffic participants and the one or more attributes associated with each one of the one or more traffic participants.

Abstract: A compact and modular wireless sensing radar infrastructure device, which is part of a system for warning vulnerable road users (i.e., pedestrians, cyclists, other, etc) that a vehicle or cyclist is approaching and there may be a potential danger of a collision, and the system also provides an alert to an oncoming vehicle or cyclist of the location of a vulnerable road user within a cross-walk or intersection.

Abstract: A method identifies, for a vehicle, a low friction surface from a road surface with a slope. With the vehicle at standstill, the vehicle ignition is switched on. A normal load for the vehicle is calculated. It is determined if the vehicle is moving, and if the vehicle is moving, a vehicle load is calculated using suspension information from the vehicle. A road slope angle is calculated based on the calculated vehicle load and calculated normal load. A normal slope angle is calculated and is compared to the calculated road slope angle to determine if the vehicle is on a low friction surface or on a sloped surface. In accordance with another aspect of an embodiment, a method determines whether a trailer is coupled to a vehicle.
