Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and one or more computer-readable mediums for performing, by one or more processors located off-board a vehicle, operations including receiving, by the fog based application framework before transit of the vehicle, vehicle operation data from a cloud based database of a cloud based computing system; receiving, by the fog based application framework before and/or in real-time during transit of the vehicle, edge-based vehicle data from one or more edge computing devices of the vehicle; and generating, by the fog based application framework during transit of the vehicle, a plurality of vehicle operation insights based on the vehicle operation data and the edge-based vehicle data.

Abstract: A system to filter a data transfer between an external application and a component of a vehicle, includes: a failsafe validation engine, wherein the failsafe validation engine includes: a rules engine to process a data model from the external application based on one or more rules, a context analyzer to receive context data associated with the vehicle, process the context data as the one or more rules, and send the one or more rules to the rules engine, and a schematic parser to receive the data model from the rules engine and parse the data model based on one or more object models defined for the component of the vehicle; and a controller to control the failsafe validation engine.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing platform agnostic flight management data access for a flight management system (FMS) of an aircraft have been developed. First, a configuration file is loaded to a configuration database. The configuration file is for a data format of an external data source from the aircraft. Upon receiving a data access request from a user for external data from the external data source, downloading the configuration file is downloaded to an FMS data formatter. The configuration file is parsed with a data processor component of the FMS data formatter to update a rule set. The FMS data formatter receives an external data file from an application programing interface (API) of the external data source. The external data file is parsed with a rule engine of the FMS data formatter using the updated rule set. A flight plan file is generated with the FMS data formatter using the parsed external data file and sent to the FMS on the aircraft.

Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems are described that determine when to automatically transfer telemetry data from a UAV to a ground-based computing device by monitoring one or more context states of the UAV. In some examples, a UAV system includes a UAV; a ground-based computing device; and processing circuitry configured to acquire data from one or more sensors on the UAV; store the data at a local storage device on the UAV; maintain a state machine configured to monitor one or more context states of the UAV system; determine, based on the one or more context states, that a current situation of the UAV system meets minimum criteria for transferring the data from the UAV to the ground-based computing device; and automatically transfer, based on the determination, the data from the UAV to the ground-based computing device.

Abstract: Devices, methods, and systems for determining a layout and wiring estimation for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system of a building are described herein. One method includes receiving information from a building information model associated with a building, receiving information from a pre-engineering tool associated with the building, and determining a layout and wiring estimation for an HVAC system of the building based, at least in part, on the information from the building information model and the information from the pre-engineering tool.
