The CMDCS comprises a cloud-based platform, an onboard unit (OBU), and a Vehicle-to-System component. The cloud-based platform comprises a localization-enhancement subsystem and a cloud computing module. The CMDCS is configured to collect detectable data and undetectable data from vehicles, road, and cloud. Then, the CMDCS deploys a set of end-to-end AI models and methods for automated driving services, comprising sensing, prediction, planning, and control services. The AI models and methods are trained and optimized to process collected data for providing operating parameters for vehicles. Then, the vehicles can be effectively and efficiently controlled and operated by the CMDCS. In addition, the CMDCS is configured to generate and provide detailed time-sensitive vehicle specific control instructions.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2024Publication date: November 14, 2024Inventors: Bin Ran, Can Wang, Kaijie Luo, Qiao Yang, Yuan Zheng, Jing Jin, Tianyi Chen, Xiaowen Jiang, Tianya Zhang, Zhenxing Yao

Publication number: 20240363004Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2024Publication date: October 31, 2024Inventors: Bin Ran, Kaijie Luo, Yuan Zheng, Qiao Yang, Yang Cheng, Tianyi Chen, Shen Li, Jing Jin, Xiaoxuan Chen, Fan Ding, Zhen Zhang

Publication number: 20240321104Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2024Publication date: September 26, 2024Inventors: Bin Ran, Junwei You, Keshu Wu, Yang Cheng, Weizhe Tang, Yuan Zheng, Shen Li, Shuoxuan Dong, Tianyi Chen, Xiaotian Li, Zhen Zhang, Yang Zhou
