Abstract: Sound signals are received by one or more microphones disposed at an ADV. The sound signals are analyzed to extract a feature of a road on which the ADV is driving. A road condition of the road is determined based on the extracted feature. A path planning and speed planning is performed to generate a trajectory based on the road condition. The ADV is controlled to drive autonomously according to the generated trajectory.

Abstract: A transceiver architecture supports high-speed communication over a signal lane that extends between a high-performance integrated circuit (IC) and one or more relatively low-performance ICs employing less sophisticated transmitters and receivers. The architecture compensates for performance asymmetry between ICs communicating over a bidirectional lane by instantiating relatively complex transmit and receive equalization circuitry on the higher-performance side of the lane. Both the transmit and receive equalization filter coefficients in the higher-performance IC may be adaptively updated based upon the signal response at the receiver of the higher-performance IC.

Abstract: Single loop inductive sensors are widely deployed in infrastructure for traffic data collection, however, these loops currently provide little more than vehicle detection. A system and method are provided that enable single loop inductive sensors to be used for vehicle classification (e.g., identification as motorcycle, passenger car, bus, etc.). Classification may be done using the Federal Highway Administration's 13 class system. Initially a signature library is built from vehicle signatures with known classifications. Vehicle signature waveforms of unknown classification obtained from inductive loop sensors are analyzed to identify specific features in the waveform including the number of “peaks”, the first peak location and its magnitude. A classifier (e.g., K-nearest neighbor) uses a representation of the vehicle signature and the features to determine from the signature library the classification of the vehicle.
