  • Publication number: 20240010235
    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle (AV) route planning system and method comprising receiving data indicating a risk on each road segments of a road network, generating a risk aware map of the road network having a dynamic risk layer determined by the received data on each of the road segments of the road network, generating a set of feasible routes between an origin and destination, selecting an optimal route from the set of feasible routes, and transmitting the optimal route to the AV, where the every route in the set of feasible route has an overall risk below a predetermined risk level specified by an oversight system or a third-party.

  • Publication number: 20230356551
    Abstract: A control subsystem, method and computer program product are provided to detect the failure of a tire of an autonomous vehicle (AV) and to direct a response to the tire failure that has been detected that is appropriate under the circumstances. In this regard, the control subsystem includes processing circuitry configured to receive signals from microphone(s) carried by the AV. The processing circuitry is configured to evaluate signal characteristics of the signals to identify signals indicative of a tire failure. In an instance in which a tire failure is identified, the processing circuitry is configured to determine a type of the tire failure based upon the signal characteristics. The processing circuitry is further configured to determine remedial action to be taken based at least in part upon the type of tire failure. Different remedial actions are determined to be taken for different types of tire failures.

  • Publication number: 20230066521
    Abstract: A control device associated with an autonomous vehicle detects that a person is altering traffic on a road using a hand signal. The control device determines an interpretation of the hand signal. The control device determines a proposed trajectory according to the interpretation of the hand signal. The control device transmits the proposed trajectory to an oversight server. The oversight server determines whether the hand signal is in use to alter the traffic. The oversight server also determines whether the proposed trajectory causes the autonomous vehicle to go out of a pre-mapped area where the autonomous vehicle is able to autonomously travel. In response to determining that the hand signal is in use and that the proposed trajectory does not cause the autonomous vehicle to go out of the pre-mapped area, the oversight server transmits an instruction that indicates to perform the proposed trajectory to the control device.

  • Publication number: 20230067485
    Abstract: A control device associated with an autonomous vehicle detects that a construction worker is altering traffic on a road using a construction zone-related hand signal to divert the traffic from a construction site. The control device determines an interpretation of the construction zone-related hand signal. The control device determines a proposed trajectory for the autonomous vehicle according to the interpretation of the construction zone-related hand signal. In certain embodiments, the control device may navigate the autonomous vehicle according to the interpretation of the construction zone-related hand signal. In certain embodiments, the control device may transmit the proposed trajectory to an oversight server for confirmation. In certain embodiments, the oversight may confirm or override the proposed trajectory.

  • Publication number: 20230065647
    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle includes audio sensors configured to detect audio in an environment around the autonomous vehicle and to generate audio signals based on the detected audio. A processor in the autonomous vehicle receives the audio signals and compares a time domain or frequency domain representation of the audio signals to a corresponding representation of a known emergency vehicle siren. The comparison causes the processor to output a first determination indicating whether the audio signals are indicative of an emergency vehicle siren. The processor also applies a trained neural network to the audio signals that causes the processor to output a second determination indicating whether the audio signals are indicative of the emergency vehicle siren. If the first determination or the second determination indicates presence of an emergency vehicle siren in the environment around the autonomous vehicle, the autonomous vehicle is caused to perform an action.

  • Publication number: 20230067538
    Abstract: A control device associated with an autonomous vehicle detects that an emergency personnel is altering traffic on a road using an emergency-related hand signal to divert the traffic from a road anomaly, such as a road accident. The control device determines an interpretation of the emergency-related hand signal. The control device determines a proposed trajectory for the autonomous vehicle according to the interpretation of the emergency-related hand signal. In certain embodiments, the control device may navigate the autonomous vehicle according to the interpretation of the emergency-related hand signal. In certain embodiments, the control device may transmit the proposed trajectory to an oversight server for confirmation. In certain embodiments, the oversight may confirm or override the proposed trajectory.
