Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for determining, assigning, and displaying order deliveries. In some examples, a computing device may obtain order data identifying at least one order for delivery during a timeslot. The computing device may transmit, to a driver's computing device, a request for deliveries for a first price during the timeslot. The computing device may receive, from the driver's computing device, a response accepting the request. The computing device may then assign the driver to the order, and determine a delivery status based on the assignment of the first driver to the first order. The delivery status may identify, for example, that the order has been assigned to the driver, an estimated delivery time, the number of items being delivered, the weight of the items, and a route taken by the driver. The computing device may also display the delivery status.

Abstract: Various aspects of a system and method to provide driving assistance to safely overtake a vehicle are disclosed herein. In accordance with an embodiment, an electronic control unit used in a first vehicle is configured to detect a second vehicle in front of the first vehicle. A first position associated with the first vehicle and a second position associated with the detected second vehicle is determined for a first time instance. It may be determined whether a lateral distance between the determined first position and the determined second position is below a pre-defined threshold distance. A first alert is generated when the determined lateral distance is below the pre-defined threshold distance.

Abstract: A method and related apparatus adaptively control snapshot replication of a plurality of server snapshots in a multi-tenant public cloud using snapshot service. A plurality of snapshot requests are received from a plurality of clients in the multi-tenant public cloud and are each associated with a service level agreement (SLA). The SLA includes a corresponding completion deadline and a slippage penalty. A probabilistic model calculates, for active snapshot flows, a completion time for each of the snapshot requests. If any of the predicted completion times exceed their corresponding completion deadlines, a possible MISS event is produced for an associated first snapshot. The snapshot controller component, in response to producing the possible MISS event, minimizes a probability of breaching fulfillment times for the multi-tenant cloud. The slippage penalty is calculated for each of the plurality of snapshot requests. A second snapshot is identified from among the plurality of snapshot requests.
