  • Publication number: 20240152933
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of automatic mapping of a question or compliance controls associated with a compliance standard to compliance controls associated with another compliance standard. Reference controls having respective first subsets of text-based features are identified. A question having a second subset of the text-based features or custom controls having respective second subsets of the text-based features are identified. Scores for the respective reference controls are determined for the question or each custom control using a supervised natural language processing machine learning model based at least on the first subsets of the text-based features and the second subset(s) of the text-based features. A compliance map is generated by automatically mapping the question or each custom control to a respective subset of the reference controls using the supervised natural language processing machine learning model based at least on the scores.

  • Patent number: 11978338
    Abstract: Provided is an intersection deadlock identification method for a mixed flow of autonomous vehicles. This method considers the reality that the intersection traffic flow is composed of human driven vehicles and connected autonomous vehicles. Firstly, the two-dimensional coordinates, speed and front wheel steering angle information of all vehicles in the intersection are obtained, and the blockage graph of vehicles is constructed on the assumption that the front wheel steering angles of all vehicles are fixed. If there is no ring structure in the blockage graph, there is no deadlock; if there is a ring structure, the evasion distance propagation algorithm is used to calculate the evasion requirement distance of a vehicle in the ring. When the evasion requirement distance is greater than the permitted travelling distance of the vehicle itself, a weak traffic deadlock exists.
