  • Patent number: 11816971
    Abstract: A system, wearable device and management device provided for predicting a flashover event. According to one aspect of the disclosure, a wearable device for predicting a flashover event is provided. The wearable device includes at least one thermal sensor configured to generate thermal data associated with an environment, and processing circuitry configured to: determine a risk of ignition of at least one combustible gas in the environment based on the thermal data, and trigger at least one action based on the determined risk of ignition.

  • Publication number: 20220404160
    Abstract: Selecting navigation routes based on infrastructure performance values that indicate infrastructure performance of pathway articles. To select navigation routes, a computing device receives one or more infrastructure performance values. The infrastructure performance values can indicate infrastructure performance of the pathway article and may correspond to a roadway portion. The computing device may determine, based at least in part on the one or more infrastructure performance values, a navigation route comprising a set of roadway portions from an initial location to a subsequent location. The computing device may perform at least one operation based at least in part on the navigation route comprising the set of roadway portions from the initial location to the subsequent location.

  • Publication number: 20220324454
    Abstract: Predicting future infrastructure performance of a pathway article based on data for infrastructure performance features that influence predicted infrastructure performance at a future point in time. To predict infrastructure performance at a future point in time, a computing device receives one or more sets of infrastructure performance data for a pathway article that correspond respectively to infrastructure performance features. The infrastructure performance features may influence predicted infrastructure performance of the pathway article at a future point in time and the infrastructure performance data may correspond to a roadway portion. The computing device may generate, based at least in part on applying the one or more sets of infrastructure performance data to a model, at least one infrastructure performance prediction value that indicates predicted infrastructure performance of the pathway article at the future point in time.

  • Publication number: 20220292749
    Abstract: In some examples, a computing device includes one or more computer processors configured to receive, from an image capture device, an image of a physical scene that is viewable by an operator of a vehicle, wherein the physical scene is at least partially in a trajectory of the vehicle; receive, from an eye-tracking sensor, eye-tracking data that indicates a portion of the physical scene at which vision of the operator is directed; generate, based at least in part on excluding the portion of the physical scene at which vision of the operator is directed, a description of the physical scene; and perform at least one operation based at least in part on the description of the physical scene that is generated based at least in part on excluding the portion of the physical scene at which the vision of the operator is directed.

  • Publication number: 20210295059
    Abstract: In some examples, an article of conspicuity tape includes a retroreflective substrate; and a structured texture element (STE) embodied on the retroreflective substrate, wherein a visual appearance of the structured texture element is computationally generated for differentiation from a visual appearance of a natural environment scene for the article of conspicuity tape.
