Abstract: A mesh network system includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit selects determines a current motion state of a vehicle of a mesh network. The electronic control unit may calculates radio metric scores for network interfaces. The radio metric scores are weighted based on the current motion. The electronic control unit selects a desired network interface for communications between the vehicles based on the radio metric scores.

Abstract: A system for controlling operation of a vehicle includes a millimeter-wave radar sensor, a processor, and a memory communicably coupled to the processor. The memory stores a sensor control module configured to control operation of the radar sensor to acquire data for determining and updating a number of occupants in the vehicle. Upon receiving a control command whose execution will result in movement of the vehicle, a pre-movement radar scan of the vehicle interior is performed. Using information acquired by the pre-movement scan, the sensor control module determines if an excessive occupant condition exists in the vehicle interior. Responsive to a determination that an excessive occupant condition exists, the sensor control module may control an operation of the vehicle other than executing the control command.

Abstract: An example operation may include one or more of identifying a target device has entered a transport and has initiated a transport event at a target location, applying permissions, associated with the target device, to the transport event, determining a transport event modification has occurred, when the transport has stopped moving for a predetermined period of time and one or more transport operations have occurred, prior to arriving at a transport event destination, determining whether the permissions permit the transport event modification, and notifying one or more registered devices associated with the target device of the transport event modification.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of determining, by a transport, that an issue will soon occur, determining, by the transport, a time the issue will occur, and displaying, by the transport, the time the issue will occur. The issue is based on sensor data approaching a threshold within a period of time that is faster than an average period of time.

Abstract: A support device includes a base portion structurally configured to support a user, one or more engagement members coupled to the base portion and engagable with a surface, a distance sensor, a power source electrically coupled to one or more electrical stimulation electrodes, and a controller communicatively coupled to the distance sensor and the power source, the controller including a processor and a non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium including a computer readable and executable instruction set, which, when executed, causes the processor to receive a signal from the distance sensor indicative of a detected distance traveled by the support device, and send a signal to the power source to engage the one or more electrical stimulation electrodes based at least in part on the detected distance traveled by the support device.
