  • Patent number: 11884350
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting an object (303, 304) in the vicinity of a road user. The method recognizes objects (303, 304) detected by the sensor unit (101) with the object recognition unit (102) of a device (100), stores detected objects (303, 304) in an object list with the memory unit (103), transfers the object list with the transfer unit (104) to a data cloud (306), determines a position of the first road user, transmits the position of the first road user to the data cloud (306), identifies an object (303, 304) near the first traffic participant in the data cloud (306) using the object list, transmits a position and an object type of the identified object (303, 304) from the data cloud (306) to a mobile device of the first road user and displays the object (303, 304) and its position on the mobile device of the first road user.

  • Publication number: 20240012995
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for a computerized framework that provides a document structure parsing system for requirement engineering documents, where the logical structure of the text is not available, and is to be rebuilt based on the raw textual content. The framework approaches the build of the logical structure according to two phases. The first phase involves creating a list of list of text snippets from the raw text, where sequence labeling is adopted to re-segment and merge initially segmented text snippets. The second phase involves the framework executing computerized techniques including embedding adaptation approach, a hierarchy structure rebuilt algorithm, and a requirement text selection strategy to rebuild the hierarchy structure.

  • Patent number: 11716267
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for classifying V2X messages and to a vehicle arranged to receive V2X messages and using the method to classify the received V2X messages. A method according to the invention for processing a message in a vehicle (100) comprises the steps of: receiving a signal (920) containing the message by means of a first antenna (111) and a second antenna (112); determining a relevance of the message (930) on the basis of signal characteristics and on the basis of navigation information of the vehicle (100); and processing the message with a ranking (940) corresponding to the determined relevance, wherein an attenuation map (300) assigns attenuation values to the vehicle environment on the basis of static objects (210) and dynamic objects (220) section by section. A vehicle according to the invention is arranged to use the relevance-based method for processing a message.
