  • Patent number: 12012061
    Abstract: A vehicle diagnostic and communication system includes a controller with computer executable instructions configured to diagnose operational capability of vehicle operating systems in response to a recognized collision event. The controller is further configured to determine a severity of damage to the vehicle operating systems based on the diagnoses and generate a communication signal based on the determined severity of damage to the vehicle for transmission. The system determines which of a plurality of service providers to send the communication signal based on the severity of damage to the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20230422012
    Abstract: A vehicle-to-everything (V2X) emergency message transmission system for transmitting a V2X emergency message, which is received at intelligent infrastructure from a vehicle by V2X communication, to emergency services. The V2X emergency message may be transmitted from the intelligent infrastructure to provide redundancy to a cellular emergency call service and modified by the intelligent infrastructure to include additional information, which is able to be detected or provided by the intelligent infrastructure and unable to be detected by sensors of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20230242060
    Abstract: A vehicle diagnostic and communication system and method provides for recognizing a collision event with at least one device associated with a safety system of a vehicle and diagnosing operational capability of vehicle operating systems with an onboard vehicle controller in response to the recognized collision event. The diagnosis provides a determination of a severity of damage to the vehicle operating systems that is used to determine an impact on traffic proximate to the collision and transmit a communication based on the determined impact on traffic to other vehicles and an infrastructure device proximate the collision event.

  • Publication number: 20220172618
    Abstract: A method and system supported by a vehicle for reducing false positive intersection detection is provided. The method includes receiving roadside information from a roadside unit positioned along a route of the vehicle. The method includes determining a type of road condition based on the received roadside information. The method also includes determining when to output a road status signal including the type of road condition to at least one of a vehicle user interface or an autonomous vehicle controller supported by the vehicle based on the determined type of road condition. The road status signal causing the user interface to display a message to the driver or causing the autonomous vehicle controller to adjust a vehicle behavior based on the type of road condition.
