Abstract: A computing system receives a request to verify a user, the request comprising an indication of a jurisdiction in which the user will be verified. Based on the request, the computing system collects information related to the user. Based on the request, the computing system identifies a workflow corresponding to the jurisdiction. The workflow defines conditions for obtaining a verified status in the jurisdiction. The computing system executes the workflow to verify the user. The computing system hashes the verification record using a zero-knowledge proof protocol. The computing system generates a non-fungible token corresponding to the verification record. The non-fungible token is associated with a hashed version of the verification record. The computing system broadcasts the non-fungible token to a blockchain.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for establishing an active distribution network planning model considering location and capacity determination of an electric vehicle charging station. In terms of location and capacity determination of electric vehicle charging stations, a traffic flow of electric vehicles is converted into a charging demand flowing in a traffic network, and an electric vehicle traffic network model is established based on an M/M/s queuing model and a flow capturing location model in the traffic field. A distributed generation (including wind power and photovoltaic) and load model is established, based on a time series method. An energy storage element model in a power distribution network is established based on an idea of equivalent load. A nested planning model is established by taking economy and reliability of a power distribution network and a maximum traffic flow intercepted by the electric vehicle charging stations as objectives.

Abstract: In one embodiment, instead of using map data, a relative coordinate system is utilized to assist perception of the driving environment surrounding an ADV for some driving situations. One of such driving situations is driving on a highway. Typically, a highway has fewer intersections and exits. The relative coordinate system is utilized based on the relative lane configuration and relative obstacle information to control the ADV to simply follow the lane and avoid potential collision with any obstacles discovered within the road, without having to use map data. Once the relative lane configuration and obstacle information have been determined, regular path and speed planning and optimization can be performed to generate a trajectory to drive the ADV. Such a perception system is referred to as a relative perception system based on a relative coordinate system.
