International Classification:

G06F 30/20
G07C 5/00
G06N 20/00

Abstract:

This disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for providing a software sensor in a vehicle. In an example embodiment, a determination is made regarding the availability of a feature upgrade to a vehicle and a request may be made (to a cloud computer, for example), for obtaining the feature upgrade. The cloud computer provides an emulation software module based on emulating a first sensor that is unavailable in the vehicle. The feature upgrade may be installed in the vehicle by executing the emulation software module and by use of a second sensor that is available in the vehicle. In an example implementation, the second sensor available in the vehicle is a type of hardware sensor such as, for example, a camera, and the first sensor that is emulated is a different type of hardware sensor such as, for example, an air quality sensor.

Abstract:

A system for monitoring a device includes, among other things, at least one sensor adjacent a device, and a controller coupled to the at least one sensor. The controller includes a comparison module operable to determine that at least one predetermined criterion is met in response to comparing one or more values sensed by the least one sensor, the at least one predetermined criterion based on a total number of cycles associated with operation of the device. A method of monitoring a device is also disclosed.

International Classification:

G08G 1/00
G08G 1/01

Abstract:

Apparatus and methods are disclosed for vehicle-to-vehicle cooperation to marshal traffic. An example disclosed cooperative vehicle includes an example vehicle-to-vehicle communication module and an example cooperative adaptive cruise control module. The example cooperative adaptive cruise control module determines a location of a traffic cataract. The example cooperative adaptive cruise control module also coordinates with other cooperative vehicles to form a platoon of standard vehicles. Additionally, the example cooperative adaptive cruise control module coordinates with other the cooperative vehicles to move the formed platoon through the traffic cataract at a constant speed.
