Abstract: Technical solutions are described for vehicle collision prevention for a vehicle when the vehicle is in a parked condition. An example method includes performing a stationary safety monitoring when the vehicle is in parked condition. The stationary safety monitoring includes detecting presence of a moving object within a predetermined region from the vehicle. Further, the method includes, in response to detecting the moving object in the predetermined region initiating a notification for the moving object to prevent collision with the vehicle.

The apparatus includes a plurality of displays, a wireless communication device configured to receive first output data corresponding to a first display of the plurality of displays and second output data corresponding to a second display of the plurality of displays from an external device consisting of one mobile device, and a controller configured to direct the received first output data from the wireless communication device to be displayed on the first display and direct the received second output data from the wireless communication device to be displayed on the second display.

Abstract: A method and apparatus that identify an occupant of a vehicle are provided. The method includes: receiving information from a mobile device of a person approaching a vehicle, inputting feature information, corresponding to the received information and vehicle sensor information, into at least one support vector machine model and storing at least one score output by the at least one support vector machine model, identifying the person approaching the vehicle based on the at least one score, determining a seating location of the identified person approaching the vehicle based on the feature information, and adjusting settings of the vehicle based on a profile of the identified person approaching the vehicle and the seating location.

Abstract: A system and method of wirelessly communicating data originating at a central facility between a plurality of vehicles using vehicle-to-vehicle short-range wireless communications includes wirelessly receiving, at a seed vehicle, one or more data files that have been encoded into data chunks from a central facility; storing the data chunks included in the received data file(s) at the vehicle; receiving interest messages for the data file(s) at the seed vehicle from each of a plurality of other vehicles via a short-range wireless broadcast, wherein the interest messages include one or more data file names and, for each data file name, the identity of the data chunks requested; identifying data files and data chunks existing in more than one received interest message; and transmitting the data chunks to the plurality of vehicles via the short-range wireless broadcast.

Abstract: A method for executing a V2V data exchange includes determining if a host vehicle is communicatively connected to a seeder vehicle, and transmitting a prompt between the two vehicles to initiate a resource discovery process. The seeder vehicle wirelessly transmits to the host vehicle a Bloom filter with multiple file IDs mapped to a bit array. Each file ID has a corresponding file version number encoded to the bit array. The method then determines if a local file ID of an existing file stored via the host vehicle is a member of the Bloom filter; if so, the host vehicle determines if a remote file version number encoded to a counterpart file ID is newer than a file version number of the local file ID. If the remote file version number is newer, the seeder vehicle transmits the data file associated with the counterpart file ID to the host vehicle.

Abstract: Technical solutions are described for generating a pedestrian detection warning in a vehicle. An example method includes constructing, by a vehicle controller, a pedestrian zone based on pedestrian information that is received from a traffic controller. The method further includes computing, by the vehicle controller, a vehicle trajectory that predicts a path for the vehicle. The method further includes determining, by the vehicle controller, a minimal distance between the pedestrian zone and the vehicle trajectory. The method further includes predicting, by the vehicle controller, a time to collision by computing a time for the vehicle to reach a location corresponding to the minimal distance along the vehicle trajectory. The method further includes in response to the time to collision being below a threshold, generating, by the vehicle controller, a warning for an operator of the vehicle.

Abstract: Systems and method are provided for participative map anomaly detection and correction. In one embodiment, a processor-implemented method for map anomaly detection is provided. The method includes receiving, by a processor in a vehicle, pre-planned trajectory data from a navigation module in the vehicle, retrieving, by the processor, sensor data from one or more vehicle sensing systems, analyzing, by the processor, the sensor data and the pre-planned trajectory data, identifying, by the processor, an anomaly from the analysis, and transmitting information regarding the anomaly to a central repository external to the vehicle wherein the central repository is configured to analyze the information regarding the anomaly to determine if a navigation map attribute is incorrect.

Abstract: Glare and spurious reflections of external light on the image source of a head up display are eliminated by a circular polarizer in the optical path of the display. The head up display includes a mirror system for projecting a pattern from the image source onto a vehicle windshield where it is reflected to the operator, wherein polarization is effected at the windshield reflection. The circular polarizer includes a linear polarizer and a quarter wave plate arranged to extinguish the external incident light after reflection from the image source. The linear polarizer axis is aligned with the polarization axis at the windshield to optimize the brightness of the display.

Abstract: A combiner for a head-up display apparatus is integrally molded with a support for the combiner into a single piece. A baffle preventing direct occupant viewing of the display source of the head-up display may also be integrally molded for the combiner and the support. The integrally molded combiner and support provides for improved quality of the head-up display at a reduced price.
