Abstract:
An automated method of evaluating driver performance using adaptive models includes: receiving sensor data generated by a set of vehicle sensors associated with a vehicle; generating a set of predicted paths of the vehicle based at least partly on the received sensor data; retrieving map information from a map database, the map information including road links along the set of predicted paths of the vehicle; retrieving a set of evaluation curves associated with the road links, where inclusion in the set of evaluation curves is based on evaluation of dynamic models associated with the road links along the set of predicted paths; calculating mathematical differences between each evaluation curve and the received data and generating a driver score based on a calculated difference in area between the received data and each evaluation curve; and displaying a warning if at least one of the calculated mathematical differences exceeds a warning threshold.
Abstract:
A gateway that projects user device application content (e.g., streaming video) to a connected resource is described. The user device may be an electronic device such as a smart phone, tablet, wearable device, etc. The connected resource may be a device such as a vehicle head unit. Application content may be associated with any applications that may be executed by the user device, such as media streaming services, games, etc. User inputs received at the connected resource may be applied at the user device via the gateway by translating the received user input data, as appropriate, and emulating the received inputs at the user device. Applications may be recognized by the gateway such that application content may be filtered or otherwise processed or managed, as appropriate. Machine learning may be used to train models associated with application or content recognition, rules associated with operating restrictions, and/or other such elements.
Abstract:
A remote controller that interacts with a system under control (SUC) includes: at least one input adapted to receive data from a user; a command interpreter adapted to evaluate data received via the at least one input and determine whether the received data is associated with a remote command from among a set of remote commands associated with the SUC; at least one communication element adapted to send remote commands to the SUC; and at least one haptic feedback element adapted to provide feedback to the user, where the SUC is an in-vehicle system including a display. An automated method includes: generating a list of recognizers; passing user input event data to the recognizers; determining a status for each recognizer; identifying a single recognizer based on the status, and retrieving a command associated with the single recognizer, where the input event is associated with an in-vehicle system having a display.
Abstract:
An automated method that determines a roundtrip range of a vehicle includes: retrieving a set of parameters associated with the vehicle; retrieving map information regarding a geographic area including multiple links associated with available roadways in the geographic area and each link includes a cost value; determining a set of roundtrip range projection links by evaluating the links to identify multiple roundtrip paths extending radially outward from the vehicle by: determining a total cost of an outbound path and a return path, where the paths meet at a common node; and including the common node in a range projection polygon if a summed cost for a set of links included in the outbound path and the return path is less than a target cost; and generating and displaying a map of at least a portion of the geographic area and a set of range projection polygons overlaid onto the map.
Abstract:
A system that monitors, records and analyzes driver performance includes: a vehicle sensor module that receives data from a set of sensors that each measure a driving characteristic associated with a vehicle; a map data access module that retrieves map data elements indicating various features associated with a path of the vehicle including a set of previously-defined segments, each segment having a set of associated joints each including a set of associated attributes including a set of fixed attributes with unchanging values; and a driver behavior engine that monitors and evaluates driver performance; calculates mathematical differences between a set of evaluation curves and each of multiple corresponding performance curves based on the set of measured driving characteristics, where the mathematical differences are quantified by determining a geometrical area between each evaluation curve and each corresponding performance curve, where the curves are associated with a particular driver and a particular trip.
