Abstract: Exemplary embodiments described in this disclosure are generally directed to vehicle detection systems and methods. In one exemplary embodiment, a vehicle detection system that is provided in a first vehicle receives a map generated by a vehicle detection system of a second vehicle. The map, which can be a cardinal map, for example, indicates a third vehicle that is detected by the vehicle detection system of the second vehicle and is undetectable by the first vehicle due to various reasons. For example, the first vehicle may fail to detect the third vehicle due to signal blocking caused by an intervening vehicle located between the first vehicle and the third vehicle, or due to the loss of radio-frequency (RF) signal reception by the vehicle detection system in the first vehicle. The second vehicle can detect the third vehicle by using radio-frequency (RF) signals and to convey the information to the first vehicle.

Abstract: An on-board unit of a vehicle includes first and second transceivers.

Abstract: Vehicle road usage is monitored via vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. From each of a plurality of vehicles via one or more RSUs communicating with vehicles using V2X communication, anonymized data is received indicating routing of the respective vehicle along roadways over time and location. From each of the plurality of vehicles via the one or more RSUs, non-anonymized usage amounts are received indicative of a cost incurred by the respective vehicle for overall usage of the roadway by the respective vehicle, the usage amounts being computed by the respective vehicle according to usage metrics broadcast by the one or more RSUs. Roadway areas of high roadway usage are identified according to the anonymized data. The usage metrics are updated to incentivize alternative routes to routes traversing the roadway areas of high roadway usage. The usage metrics, as updated, are broadcast for receipt by the plurality of vehicles.

The method further includes using the path as a navigation route and executing the access plan to connect the vehicle to the wireless networks according to the access plan.

Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed towards dynamically adding new pickup orders to an existing route structure. In at least some embodiments, a service provider separates a number of vendors into separate clusters based on one or more attributes. For example, the vendors may be separated by geographic region. The service provider may then identify a set of routes that are associated with each of the vendor clusters and run optimization techniques on that set of routes. The set of routes may be filtered based on attributes of the route. In some embodiments, the service provider may make a route alteration that accommodates the new pickup order.
