    Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for a monitoring system for autonomous vehicle operation. In some embodiments, a vehicle may perform self-tests, generate a report based on the results, and transmit it to a remote monitor center over one or both of a high-speed channel for regular data transfers or a reliable channel for emergency situations. In other embodiments, the remote monitor center may determine that immediate intervention is required, and may transmit a control command with high priority, which when received by the vehicle, is implemented and overrides any local commands being processed. In yet other embodiments, the control command with high priority is selected from a small group of predetermined control commands the remote monitor center may issue.

    Abstract: A system and method for using human driving patterns to detect and correct abnormal driving behaviors of autonomous vehicles are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: generating data corresponding to a normal driving behavior safe zone; receiving a proposed vehicle control command; comparing the proposed vehicle control command with the normal driving behavior safe zone; and issuing a warning alert if the proposed vehicle control command is outside of the normal driving behavior safe zone. Another embodiment includes modifying the proposed vehicle control command to produce a modified and validated vehicle control command if the proposed vehicle control command is outside of the normal driving behavior safe zone.

    Abstract: The system and method make it feasible to develop an autonomous vehicle control system for complex vehicles, such as for cargo trucks and other large payload vehicles. The method and system commence by first obtaining 3-dimensional data for one or more sections of roadway. Once the 3-dimensional roadway data is obtained, that data is used to run computer simulations of a computer model of a specific vehicle being controlled by a generic vehicle control algorithm or system. The generic vehicle control algorithm is optimized by running the simulations utilizing the 3-dimensional roadway data until an acceptable performance result is achieved. Once an acceptable simulation is executed using the generic vehicle control algorithm, the control algorithm/system is used to run one or more real-world driving tests on the roadway for which the 3-dimensional data was obtained. Finally, the computer model for the vehicle is modified.
