Abstract: Charging of a mobile device in an ad hoc parked vehicle charging system. A plurality of mobile device users and associated mobile devices are registered in an ad hoc parked vehicle charging system with a charging profile. A plurality of charging vehicles are also registered in the system with a charge supply profile. A mobile device user and associated mobile device are authenticated as a registered user in the system. A plurality of the registered charging vehicles parked within a preset distance range of the authenticated user and associated mobile device are located and one of the parked registered charging vehicles is selected based on an energy allocation criteria. A charging connection is established between the authenticated mobile device and the selected parked vehicle and charging of the mobile device is automatically controlled according to the user's charging profile, the vehicle's charge supply profile and the energy allocation criteria.

Abstract: A local area security system interfaces with one or more vehicles to provide enhanced security. The vehicles have vehicle sensors which may further help determine a presence of potential threat within a vicinity of the local area security system. The multiple vehicle network may communicate with each other to expand the vicinity of the local area security system, share equipment, computing resources, and information in the determination of the presence of the potential threat. The battery powered vehicle may employ various methods to conserve battery power while coupled to the local area security system.

Abstract: A system and method for charging of a mobile device in an ad hoc parked vehicle charging system. A plurality of mobile device users and charging vehicles are registered in the ad hoc parked vehicle charging system. The current charge of an authenticated mobile device user is monitoring and the user is automatically alerted the authenticated user that the current charge is below a threshold set in the user's charging profile. The method includes locating registered charging vehicles parked within a preset distance range of the authenticated user and sending the parked location information to the user, automatically enabling a wireless charging connection between the authenticated user's mobile device and a parked registered charging vehicle selected by the user and automatically controlling charging the authenticated user's mobile device according to the authenticated user's charging profile and the parked registered charging vehicle's charge supply profile.

Abstract: A method for localizing the source of air pollution that includes receiving pollution data from a network in communication with at least one air pollution sensor that is connected to at least one motor vehicle in a stationary position. Each stationary motor vehicle of the network is positioned at a different air pollution measurement location. The method may further include determining from the pollution data an origin of an air pollutant using an air pollution model provided by a pollutant source localization device including at least one hardware processor.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for cross-platform scheduling with fairness and platform-specific optimization are provided herein. A method includes determining dimensions of a set of containers in which multiple tasks associated with a request are to be executed; assigning each of the containers to a processing node on one of multiple platforms based on the dimensions of the given container, and to a platform owner selected from the multiple platforms based on a comparison of resource requirements of each of the multiple platforms and the dimensions of the given container; and generating container assignments across the set of containers by incorporating the assigned node of each container in the set of containers, the assigned platform owner of each container in the set of containers, one or more scheduling requirements of each of the platforms, one or more utilization objectives, and enforcing a sharing guarantee of each of the platforms.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for parking space management of a managed parking structure. Information is received from a vehicle that has parked in the managed parking structure. The information from the vehicle is utilized to determine a probabilistic location of the vehicle within the managed parking structure. Responsive to determining the probabilistic location of the vehicle within the managed parking structure using the information from the vehicle, an occupied parking space evidence data structure is updated with a vehicle identifier of the vehicle as being associated with the location of the vehicle within the managed parking structure.
