Abstract: Provided herein is technology relating to automated driving, particularly, but not exclusively, to an enterprise active safety system (EASS) that is configured to improve safety or minimize losses from safety events. More specifically, the EASS is configured to provide system-based safety functions by integrating one or more of the vehicle components, road components, cloud components, pedestrian components, and map components. These safety functions include one or more of crash detection, crash prediction, crash warning, crash avoidance, crash impact reduction, and emergency response functions.

Abstract: This technology provides an Autonomous Vehicle (AV) Intelligent Driving System (IDS) that uses weather information or special information to provide vehicle operation or control. The Onboard Unit (OBU) uses a traffic control center/traffic control unit (TCC/TCU) communication module or a roadside unit (RSU) communication module to receive vehicle-specific targeted weather information and/or special information at the Guidance Level of vehicle driving tasks from the TCC/TCU or the RSU. The special information comprises activity, accidents, and hazards/obstacles information. The vehicle control module enhances driving safety by integrating vehicle-specific weather, pavement condition, activity, accidents, and hazards/obstacles information.

Abstract: This technology provides an Autonomous Vehicle (AV) Intelligent Driving System (IDS) that includes a sensing module for gathering driving environment data and an onboard unit (OBU) for vehicle control. The OBU features a vehicle control module and communication modules for guidance-level interaction with Traffic Control Centers (TCC/TCU) and Roadside Units (RSUs). The system receives targeted guidance instructions and information, such as vehicle maneuvering, safety maintenance, traffic control, and special conditions, to enhance driving tasks. The IDS collaborates with TCC/TCU and RSUs, providing redundancy and a fail-safe mechanism for increased safety and reliability. The system is designed with wireless communication capabilities for efficient information exchange and is applicable to connected and automated vehicles (CAVs).

Abstract: This technology provides an Autonomous Vehicle (AV) Intelligent Control System (ICS) that integrates a sensing module for collecting driving environment data and an onboard unit (OBU) for vehicle control. The OBU includes a vehicle control module and communication modules for interacting with Traffic Control Centers (TCC/TCU) and Roadside Units (RSUs). These modules exchange information at the control level, such as vehicle positioning, speed, and environmental conditions, enabling the AV to operate safely and efficiently. The system also features redundancy through dual-security mechanisms, enhancing safety and reliability. The AV ICS is designed to distribute driving tasks and functions, utilizing both TCC/TCU and RSU data for vehicle control and monitoring, with wireless communication capabilities for seamless information exchange.
