  • Publication number: 20190339093
    Abstract: According to one aspect, a computer implemented method associated with a weather advisor real-time notification for a vehicle is provided. The method includes receiving real-time weather data. The real-time weather data includes image-based weather data. The method also includes identifying a weather event based on pixel data associated with the image-based weather data. Binary masks having contours associated with the weather event are generated. The method further includes calculating a heading and speed of the weather event based on the binary masks. It is then determined whether the vehicle will intercept the weather event based on heading and speed of the weather event and route information of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10455882
    Abstract: A method for providing a collision warning using an image capture device mounted on a rear portion of a helmet, including receiving a series of image frames and receiving spatial position data about the helmet from an inertial measurement unit. The spatial position data includes at least one of a roll angle, a yaw angle, and a pitch angle of the helmet. The method includes adjusting an orientation of the series of image frames based on the spatial position data. Thus, the orientation of the series of image frames is level with an orientation of the scene. The method includes identifying a target vehicle and calculating a speed of the target vehicle based on a rate of change of a position of the target vehicle. Further, the method includes controlling an output device and/or the motorcycle based on the speed of the target vehicle and the rate of change.

  • Patent number: 10049513
    Abstract: Systems and methods for light fidelity (“Li-Fi”) communication of a vehicle are provided. The systems and method may include determining an event associated with the vehicle. The systems and methods may generate, based upon the determined event, a Li-Fi communication specific to a location within the vehicle. The Li-Fi communication may include information based on an operational characteristic of the vehicle. The generated Li-Fi communication may be sent to a wireless device.
