Abstract: A regenerative speed bump includes a flat base portion and a sloped cover portion which together form a cavity to house a regenerative energy mechanism therein. The sloped cover portion is flexible and configured to deflect downward upon application of force. The regenerative energy mechanism includes a main gear having an axis of rotation and an inner ring of ratchets, a plunger positioned along the axis of rotation and rotates the main gear by motion thereof along the axis of rotation, and a pawl configured to allow the inner ring of ratchets and the main gear to rotate in only one direction. The plunger is mechanically connected to the sloped cover portion such that the plunger moves down along the axis of rotation when the sloped cover portion deflects downward.

Abstract: A system for water collection and redistribution in a vehicle is provided. The system includes a storage tank for receiving water condensate from an air conditioner (AC) of the vehicle and store the water condensate.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward a method and system for checking a vehicle height and radar aim of a vehicle. The method includes estimating, by a forward imaging system disposed in a vehicle, a vehicle height, and determining whether the estimated vehicle height is within a predefined height tolerance. The method further includes performing, by a radar system disposed in the vehicle, a radar alignment test to determine whether a radar device of the radar system is aligned within a predefined angular range, and adjusting the alignment of the radar device in response to the vehicle height being within the predefined height tolerance and the radar device being misaligned.
