    Abstract: A system and method accepts data from direct fault and parameters measurements and historical data in formatted and unformatted form organized by device or system class, specific unit and unit subsystems, and by operation to learn how to predict or correct specified maintenance or other operations. Disclosed examples use known data and learned information historical data to correct or elaborate service requests based on specified and likely (based on learned information) needed maintenance operations. The system and method are applicable to any device requiring prognostic maintenance or other service based on service orders and direct measurement of operating parameters.

    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle (an AV, or manual vehicle in an autonomous or semi-autonomous mode) includes the ability to sense a command from a source external to the vehicle and modify the behavior of the vehicle in accordance with the command. For example, the vehicle may visualize a police officer or other person associated with traffic control and interpret gestures made by the person causing the vehicle to stop, slow down, pull over, change lanes, back up or take a different route due to unplanned traffic patterns such as accidents, harsh weather, road closings or other situations. The system and method may also be used for non-emergency purposes, including external guidance for load pick-up/placement, hailing a vehicle used as a cab, and so forth. The command may further be spoken or may include a radio frequency (RF) light or other energy component.

    Abstract: An in-vehicle system for generating precise, lane-level road map data includes a GPS receiver operative to acquire positional information associated with a track along a road path. An inertial sensor provides time local measurement of acceleration and turn rate along the track, and a camera acquires image data of the road path along the track. A processor is operative to receive the local measurement from the inertial sensor and image data from the camera over time in conjunction with multiple tracks along the road path, and improve the accuracy of the GPS receiver through curve fitting. One or all of the GPS receiver, inertial sensor and camera are disposed in a smartphone. The road map data may be uploaded to a central data repository for post processing when the vehicle passes through a WiFi cloud to generate the precise road map data, which may include data collected from multiple drivers.

    Abstract: Automated inventory management and material (or container) handling removes the requirement to operate fully automatically or all-manual using conventional task dedicated vertical storage and retrieval (S&R) machines. Inventory requests Automated vehicles plan their own movements to execute missions over a container yard, warehouse aisles or roadways, sharing this space with manually driven trucks. Automated units drive to planned speed limits, manage their loads (stability control), stop, go, and merge at intersections according human driving rules, use on-board sensors to identify static and dynamic obstacles, and human traffic, and either avoid them or stop until potential collision risk is removed. They identify, localize, and either pick-up loads (pallets, container, etc.) or drop them at the correctly demined locations. Systems without full automation can also implement partially automated operations (for instance load pick-up and drop), and can assure inherently safe manually operated vehicles (i.e., trucks that do not allow collisions).
