Patent number: 11288901Abstract: Detection of an impact to a vehicle is based on data received from one of (a) one or more infrastructure sensors included in an infrastructure element or (b) the vehicle. Verification of the impact is determined by determining that data received from the other of the infrastructure sensors or the vehicle (a) detects the impact and is verified or (b) does not detect the impact and is unverified. A message is transmitted to the vehicle including the verification of the impact and one of (a) a request to operate to a predetermined location based on the impact being verified or (b) a notification to continue a current operation based on the impact being unverified.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2019Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: FORD GLOBL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Chandana Neerukonda, Mostafa Parchami, Krithika Swaminathan, Mahrdad Damsaz

Patent number: 11003182Abstract: A planned path is received from a vehicle along with a status of a perception subsystem in the vehicle. A remedial action is initiated determining that the status of the perception subsystem is healthy and the planned path deviates by more than a threshold from a detected path.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2019Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Mostafa Parchami, Mahrdad Damsaz, Hamed Babazadehrokni, Krithika Swaminathan

Publication number: 20210070220Abstract: A ride-share system is disclosed. The system may comprise: one or more processors and memory storing instructions that are executable by the one or more processors, the instructions comprising: while operating a vehicle in an autonomous mode, determine a transit stop; based on the determination, attempt to establish communication with a smart node; when communication is established with the smart node, query the smart node regarding whether to actuate a vehicle door to an open position; and when communication is not established with the smart node, determine whether to actuate the vehicle door to the open position.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2019Publication date: March 11, 2021Applicant: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Mahrdad Damsaz, Mostafa Parchami, Chandana Neerukonda, Krithika Swaminathan

Patent number: 10928508Abstract: A system includes a computer that includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor such that the computer is programmed to transform a vertical image plane camera image to a horizontal image plane, thereby generating a transformed camera image, generate a scaled horizontal image plane radar image based on a resolution of the transformed camera image, and then superimpose the scaled radar image on the transformed camera image thereby generating a horizontal image plane superimposed image.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2019Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventor: Krithika Swaminathan

Patent number: 10878701Abstract: A computer includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor to receive respective object data including an object location from each of three or more vehicles, based on determining an inconsistency of the object data received from a first vehicle with respect to respective object data of the other vehicles, perform an action.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2018Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Mahrdad Damsaz, Mostafa Parchami, Krithika Swaminathan, Hamed Babazadehrokni

Publication number: 20200079354Abstract: A computer includes a processor and a memory storing processor-executable instructions. The processor is programmed to disconnect loads from a first bus of a vehicle in response to a power failure affecting the first bus and a second bus of the vehicle, and then navigate the vehicle to a stop. The loads are redundantly supplied by the first and second buses.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2018Publication date: March 12, 2020Applicant: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: MAHRDAD DAMSAZ, HAMED BABAZADEHROKNI, KRITHIKA SWAMINATHAN, MOSTAFA PARCHAMI
