5 results about "Automatic vehicle location" patented technology

Systems and techniques are described for implementing autonomous control of powered earth-moving vehicles, including to automatically calibrate a LiDAR sensor's mount location on a powered earth-moving vehicle (e.g., for one or more on-vehicle LiDAR sensors that are mounted or otherwise positioned on movable component parts of a particular powered earth-moving vehicle, such as hydraulic arms, tool attachments, etc.), and to perform further automated vehicle positioning determination using the calibrated LiDAR data. The calibration may include determining at least one transformation for each LiDAR sensor between its mount location and a known position in a global common coordinate system, such as based on RTK-corrected GPS-based vehicle location, and LiDAR-based Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) processing may be used with calibrated LiDAR data to determine vehicle position (location and orientation) on a site on which the vehicle is located.

The invention provides an individual conventional bus travel carbon emission measuring and calculating method based on multi-source informatization data. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring intelligent card data and automatic vehicle positioning data; the intelligent card data and the automatic vehicle positioning data are fused, and conventional bus stations for getting on and getting off of each passenger in the conventional bus journey are determined; segmenting the route according to the route information of the conventional public transport vehicle, and calculating the average vehicle speed and the vehicle carbon emission of each road section; dividing the segmented route into service operation intervals, matching the conventional bus travel of each passenger with the service operation intervals, and calculating the number of passengers in each service operation interval; and calculating the per capita carbon emission of the service operation interval by combining the number of passengers and the total vehicle carbon emission in the service operation interval, and further accumulating according to the service operation interval covered by the actual bus travel of the individual to obtain the carbon emission of the conventional bus travel of the individual. According to the invention, carbon emission and time-space laws of individual conventional bus travel can be described.

The present disclosure is directed to a computer that receives weather information from a weather service provider (“WSP”) server and automatic vehicle locating system (“AVL”) collected information from an AVL server, accesses a material performance specification for at least one treatment material, and determines, based on the weather information and / or AVL collected information and the material performance specification, a treatment recommendation for a selected roadway segment and / or route.
