Title: Innovations by David A. Bodenmiller
Introduction
David A. Bodenmiller is an accomplished inventor based in Milford, MI (US). He holds a total of 4 patents that showcase his expertise in the field of autonomous vehicle technology. His innovative contributions have significantly advanced the capabilities of vehicle systems.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is focused on GPS data integrity verification for autonomous vehicles. This system includes a communication module and a processor that operates the vehicle using a first set of Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) data. The communication module sends a second set of GPS data, which is an authenticated data set, over a different communication channel. The processor compares these two sets of data to verify the integrity of the first set. A vehicle parameter based on the first set of GPS data is compared to data from a vehicle-based sensor to ensure rationality when the difference is below a selected threshold.
Another notable patent is for an asymmetric system architecture designed for fail-operational functions with limited availability requirements. This vehicle system controller features a primary and a secondary controller, each equipped with a memory unit containing software applications. The secondary controller holds only a subset of the software applications found in the primary controller, allowing for the operation of pre-identified features. The vehicle systems default to commands from the primary controller but can switch to the secondary controller's commands if the primary controller fails.
