Abstract:

Systems and methods for operating drones in proximity to objects are disclosed herein. An example method includes determining a change in drone, flight status that involves a rotor of the drone being active, determining presence of a mobile device within a designated clearance area established around the drone, preventing the drone from landing, providing a warning message to a user of the mobile device to clear away from the designated clearance area, detecting that the mobile device and the user are not within the designated clearance area, and causing the drone to land.

International Classification:

G07B 15/06
H04W 4/40
H04W 4/06
G08G 1/0967

Abstract:

Toll advertisement messages (TAMs) are broadcast via V2X communication, each of the TAMs indicating geographic locations of lanes of a roadway for which tolls are due and cost information for traversing the lanes of the roadway. A tolling usage message (TUM) is received via the V2X communication, the TUM indicating, to a roadside unit (RSU), information regarding a vehicle entering one of the lanes of the roadway and a unique random account identifier to be used by the RSU to identify the vehicle. A toll receipt message (TRM) is broadcast via the V2X communication, the TRM including the unique random account identifier and indicating, to the vehicle, a final cost charged to the vehicle for access to the one of the lanes of the roadway.

H04W 4/40

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for increasing the accuracy of vehicle positioning. Example methods may include transmitting, by an on-board unit, a message including a motion information associated with the vehicle; determining, by a processor, a signal comprising modulating radiation, the signal identifying the vehicle; receiving, by the on-board unit, an additional message, the additional message including location information and a timestamp; and determining a location of the vehicle based on the location information.

H04W 92/02

Abstract:

A road-side unit includes a first transceiver configured to communicate using a first vehicle-to-infrastructure protocol and a second transceiver configured to communicate using a second vehicle-to-infrastructure protocol, the first vehicle-to-infrastructure protocol and the second vehicle-to-infrastructure protocol being incompatible with one another. The road-side unit further includes a processor programmed to monitor transmissions from the first and second transceivers, receive an incoming message sent to the processor from the first transceiver, the incoming message being designated for distribution to roadway participants, identify based on the monitored transmissions whether the second transceiver is in communication with devices of roadway participants available to receive outgoing messages, and if so, construct an outgoing message based on the incoming message and send the outgoing message via the second transceiver.
