Abstract:
Examples of techniques for detecting abrupt deceleration of a vehicle using Doppler change of a received signal are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method may include establishing, by a processing device, a radio link between a transceiver in the vehicle and a remote transceiver. The method may further include continuously calculating, by the processing device, a Doppler of the received signal. The method may further include detecting, by the processing device, a change in the Doppler of the received signal. The method may further include determining, by the processing device, whether the change in the Doppler of the received signal is indicative of an abrupt deceleration.
Abstract:
A method of performing collision prevention and a system to perform collision prevention involve a communication interface to receive information from connected devices of individuals. The system also includes a processor to obtain the information from the connected devices, estimate a potential for an upcoming collision, and issue an alert based on the potential for the upcoming collision to one or more of the connected devices.
Abstract:
A vehicle-based system and a method of performing communication include one or more in-vehicle devices configured to obtain data. A controller obtains the data from the one or more in-vehicle devices. A first wireless communication unit associated with one or more of the one or more in-vehicle devices transmits data from the one or more of the one or more in-vehicle devices to the controller wirelessly.
Abstract:
A method of a vehicle obtaining sensor data originating at one or more of other vehicles includes receiving input from an operator or system within the vehicle, and generating a request for the sensor data based on the input. The request specifies one or more parameters and the one or more parameters include a location at which the sensor data is obtained. The method also includes sending the request for the sensor data, receiving the sensor data, and processing the sensor data. The processing includes providing the sensor data to the operator or the system within the vehicle based on the input. A central server includes an interface to receive sensor data and parameters from one or more vehicles according to vehicle-to-network (V2N) communication. A processor generates a digital map from the sensor data. The digital map includes a layer for each type of the sensor data.

Abstract:
A method in a vehicle configured to communicate in a vehicle point-to-multipoint communication system is provided. The method includes selecting a transmission resource comprising a sub-channel frequency range and time slot on which to compete for communication rights, competing with one or more vehicles for communication rights on the transmission resource using a listen-before-talk algorithm, and transmitting vehicle data on the transmission resource won.A method in a communication system is provided. The method includes partitioning a vehicle travel pathway into a plurality of geographical bins, grouping the bins into one or more regions, mapping each bin in a region to a different transmission resource, preparing a data record containing the mapping of geographical bins to transmission resources, and providing the data record to one or more vehicles that travel down the travel pathway for identifying to the one or more vehicles the transmission resource on which to transmit data.

Abstract:
A system for communication over automotive power lines is described. The system includes a plurality of vehicle modules. Each of the vehicle modules includes a power line communication (PLC) module. A PLC network connects the power lines configured to carry electric power to the vehicle modules. The PLC processors enable the power lines to transmit data between the plurality of vehicle modules. The system also includes a master PLC processor configured to transmit data to one or more of the plurality of vehicle modules via one of two selectable protocols that include a multiple frequency channel communication protocol and a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) communication protocol.
Abstract:
A method for communicating using a hybrid vehicle communications network including a combination of wired and wireless electronic control units (ECUs) and wired and wireless peripherals. The network includes a plurality of ECUs that include a plurality of wireless ECUs. The network also includes a plurality of peripheral devices, where one or more of the peripheral devices receive commands from one or more of the ECUs and one or more of the peripheral devices provide signals to the ECUs, and where the plurality of peripherals include at least one wireless peripheral. Wireless transmission signals transmitted from one of the wireless peripherals is received by all of the wireless ECUs. The method performs an arbitration process where a message provided from one of the wireless ECUs is placed on a communications backbone based on a quality of the transmission signal from the wireless peripheral.
Abstract:
Embodiments include methods, systems and computer readable storage medium for geo-location based transmission resource allocation for vehicle sensors. The method includes determining available transmission resources for an area and partitioning the area into a plurality of cells. The method includes determining whether the plurality of cells exceeds the available transmission resources and allocating a portion of the available resources to a first set of one or more cells. The method includes reusing the portion of the available resources allocated to the first set of one or more cells by allocating the portion of the available resources to a second set of one or more cells and assigning transmission resources associated with the second set of one or more cells to a second set of one or more vehicles when the second set of one or more vehicles enters an area associated with the second set of one or more cells.
