  • Patent number: 11636405
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program products are provided for generating routes for vehicles participating in a platooning plan, where the routes are influenced by one another. Methods may include receiving a first trip request including a first vehicle identification, a first trip origin, and a first trip destination; receiving a second trip request including a second vehicle identification, a second trip origin, and a second trip destination, where the first trip origin, second trip origin, first trip destination, and second trip destination are all different; generating a platooning plan that includes a first route and a second route, where the first route and the second route overlap for at least a portion of the respective route, where at least one of the first route and the second route are generated with an influence from the other of the first route and the second route.

  • Publication number: 20210148715
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program products are provided for identifying platooning restrictions and assessing dynamic factors associated with a road segment relating to platooning, and providing platooning information relating these restrictions and dynamic factors to a vehicle for platooning along the road segment. Methods may include: receiving an indication of a platooning request along a road segment from a vehicle; retrieving, from a database, restrictions relating to platooning along the road segment; analyzing information relating to dynamic factors associated with the road segment; generating platooning information based on a combination of restrictions relating to platooning along the road segment and the dynamic factors associated with the road segment; and providing route guidance to the vehicle, where the route guidance incorporates the platooning information.

  • Publication number: 20210148717
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program products are provided for generating platooning plans for a plurality of vehicles and segmenting the routes of each of the vehicles into route segments based on how each segment is to be traversed. Methods may include: receiving a first trip request associated with a first vehicle including a first trip origin and destination; receiving a second trip request associated with a second vehicle including a second trip origin and destination; generating a platooning plan that includes a first route associated with the first vehicle and a second route associated with the second vehicle, where the first route and the second route overlap for at least a portion of the route; and segmenting the first route and the second route into a plurality of segments, where a platooning segment includes an overlap between the first route and the second route.

  • Publication number: 20210148716
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program products are provided for generating platooning plans for a plurality of vehicles, and identifying appropriate joining points at which the vehicles join to form a platoon along their respective routes. Methods may include: receiving a first trip request associated with a first vehicle including a first trip origin and destination; receiving a second trip request associated with a second vehicle including a second trip origin and destination; generating a platooning plan that includes a first route associated with the first vehicle and a second route associated with the second vehicle, where the first route and the second route overlap forming an overlapping route; identifying a plurality of fixed points proximate the overlapping route; and selecting one of the plurality of fixed points as a joining point.

  • Patent number: 10353701
    Abstract: The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, software, and systems, including methods for generating visualizations. On a client side, a user request is received for an inter-entity call visualization. Code analysis data is accessed. A visualization model is built. The visualization is shown. User inputs are received for interacting with the visualization. The visualization is updated based on the received user inputs. On a server side, a request is received for code analysis data. The requested data collected, including running analyzers for any available data. The requested data is sent. The code analysis data can be used for other purposes than visualizations.
