  • Publication number: 20240363004
    Abstract: The invention provides an autonomous vehicle and center guidance system (AVCGS) for drone/tele driving or digital twins by sending guidance instructions to an autonomous vehicle (AV) or a connected automated vehicle (CAV). The AVCGS is a component of a Connected Automated Vehicle Highway (CAVH) system. This AVCGS is configured to operate AVs or CAVs using a hierarchy of traffic control centers/units (TCCs/TCUs). The AVCGS comprises automatic or semi-automated computational modules, a TCC/TCU communication module, and/or an onboard unit (OBU) communication module and a vehicle control module. The AVCGS communicates with one or more entities. The vehicle-specific guidance instructions and information comprise vehicle maneuver, safety maintenance, traffic control/road condition, and special information. The AVCGS provides backup in case of any errors or failures. Specifically, through the AVCGS, AVs or CAVs can be effectively and efficiently operated.

  • Publication number: 20240363003
    Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for an autonomous vehicle and center control system (AVCCS), which is a component of a Connected Automated Vehicle Highway (CAVH) system. The AVCCS is configured to realize drone/tele driving or digital twins by providing automated vehicles (AVs) or connected automated vehicles (CAVs) with vehicle-specific control instructions comprising instructions for vehicle longitudinal and lateral position, speed, and steering and control. Specifically, through the system, AVs or CAVs can be effectively and efficiently controlled by the AVCCS. In addition, the AVCCS is configured to provide vehicle-specific control instructions to AVs or CAVs and control them through a hierarchy of traffic control centers/units (TCCs/TCUs) or the combination of TCCs/TCUs and the onboard units (OBUs) with a vehicle control module, wherein said TCCs/TCUs are configured to fulfill vehicle maneuver tasks, monitor safety maintenance tasks, and take over if the system fails.

  • Publication number: 20240363005
    Abstract: The invention provides an autonomous vehicle and intelligent control (AVIC) system with distributed AI computing, which is a component of a Connected Automated Vehicle Highway (CAVH) system. This AVIC system is configured to realize training and application for distributed AI computing by providing automated vehicles (AVs) and/or connected automated vehicles (CAVs) with vehicle-specific control instructions comprising instructions for vehicle longitudinal and lateral position, speed, and steering and control. Detailed and time-sensitive vehicle-specific control instructions comprise control instructions for speed, spacing, lane designation, vehicle following, lane changing, and/or route guidance. Specifically, through the system, CAVs can be effectively and efficiently controlled by the AVIC system.

  • Publication number: 20240321104
    Abstract: The invention provides an autonomous vehicle (AV) system with an artificial intelligence (AI) system for automated vehicle control and traffic operations. This AI system comprises a computation component configured to provide sensing, behavior prediction and management, decision making, and vehicle control for the vehicle. This AI system is configured to receive local knowledge, information, data, and models from a roadside unit (RSU) or a cloud to improve performance and efficiency of the vehicle. The AI system is configured to train models with heuristic parameters obtained from a local traffic control center/traffic control unit (TCC/TCU) or the cloud to provide an improved model. The AI system is configured to provide intelligence coordination to distribute intelligence among vehicles, RSUs and cloud. The system also provides localized self-evolving artificial intelligence.

  • Patent number: 11590220
    Abstract: The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to antigens of ?-coronaviruses, preparation methods and uses thereof. The amino acid sequence of the antigen of the ?-coronavirus includes an amino acid sequence arranged in a (A-B)-(A-B) pattern or an amino acid sequence arranged in a (A-B)-C-(A-B) pattern or an amino acid sequence arranged in a (A-B)-(A-B?) pattern or an amino acid sequence arranged in a (A-B)-C-(A-B?) pattern. The antigen of the ?-coronavirus has a single-chain dimer structure. A single-chain dirtier expressed according to examples of the present disclosure is stable in content and has excellent immunogenicity as an antigen of a ?-coronavirus, and a vaccine prepared by using the single-chain dimer as an antigen of a ?-coronavirus can elicit high-titer neutralizing antibodies in mice.
