In some examples, a controller receives measurement data from a sensor on a vehicle, determines, based on the measurement data, a condition of usage of the vehicle, and selects a parameter set from among a plurality of parameter sets based on the determined condition of usage of the vehicle, the plurality of parameter sets corresponding to different conditions of usage of the vehicle, where each parameter set of the plurality of parameter sets includes one or more parameters that control adjustment of one or more respective adjustable elements of the vehicle. The controller causes application of the selected parameter set on the vehicle.

Parameter sets for vehicles based on sensor data

In some examples, a controller receives information of a route of a vehicle, and selects a first parameter set from among a plurality of parameter sets based on the route of the vehicle, the plurality of parameter sets corresponding to different conditions of usage of the vehicle, where each parameter set of the plurality of parameter sets includes one or more parameters that control adjustment of one or more respective adjustable elements of the vehicle. The controller causes application of the first parameter set to control a setting of the one or more adjustable elements of the vehicle.

Route-based selections of vehicle parameter sets

A method at a module within a sensor system for updating a timing profile, the method including: turning on a radio of the sensor module for a first time duration; detecting signals from other modules within the sensor system; for each signal, storing data comprising a time such signal is received and an identifier for a module sending such signal; sending the data to a server; and receiving the timing profile from the server.

Method and system for battery life improvement for low power devices in wireless sensor networks

A computer-implemented method comprises training, using a validation set of input, a first classifier to predict when a second classifier will issue a classification error on a particular input, the first classifier generating a number of data buckets based on the validation set of input and populating a threshold lookup table for each data bucket based on a number of thresholds set for the second classifier during the training; storing each threshold lookup table in memory; obtaining a target error rate; obtaining a new input and running the new input through the first classifier, the first classifier selecting one of the data buckets for the new input; and selecting a threshold for the second classifier using the stored threshold lookup table for the selected data bucket and the target error rate.

System and method for configuring a classifier to achieve a target error rate

A method at a computing device acting as a switchboard between an electronic device and a device to be updated, the method including receiving, at the computing device, a connection request from the electronic device, the connection request including an identifier for the device to be updated; receiving, at the computing device, a connection request from the device to be updated; associating, at the computing device, the connection request from the electronic device and the connection request from the device to be updated; forwarding, at the computing device, a message from the device to be updated to the electronic device that update conditions have been met; forwarding, at the computing device, a message from the electronic device to the device to be updated to start an update process; and forwarding, at the computing device, update status information from the device to be updated to the electronic device.

Method and system for controlling software updates on a network connected device

Systems, methods, and software can be used to provide inter-vehicle data communications for drafting operations. In some aspects, a method is disclosed comprising: selecting, by a hardware processor of a first vehicle, a second vehicle as a candidate for a drafting group; receiving, from the second vehicle, a drafting capability indication; in response to receiving the drafting capability indication, transmitting, from the first vehicle to the second vehicle, a drafting request; receiving, from the second vehicle, a drafting response; determining, by the hardware processor of the first vehicle, to establish the drafting group including the first vehicle and the second vehicle; and transmitting, from the first vehicle to the second vehicle, a drafting confirmation, wherein the drafting confirmation indicates that the first vehicle agrees to establish the drafting group with the second vehicle.

Providing inter-vehicle data communications for vehicular drafting operations

A computer system includes a processor, a communications subsystem, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The computer-readable medium stores instructions that when executed by the processor adapt the computer system to receive an indication of a second device selected, at a first device, for update; send an indication signalling the second device to send state information about the second device; receive state information about the second device; determine, based on the state information, that the second device is ready to perform an update; send, to the first device, an indication that the second device is ready to perform the update; receive, from the first device, an indication to update the second device; and, send a corresponding indication to the second device. The second device is configured to begin updating in response to such an indication without any direct interaction with it. Related methods and computer-readable media are also described.

System and method for controlling updates to internet-of-things devices

In some examples, a controller determines a target condition of usage of a vehicle, and selects a parameter set from among a plurality of parameter sets based on the determined target condition of usage of the vehicle, the plurality of parameter sets corresponding to different conditions of usage of the vehicle, where each parameter set of the plurality of parameter sets includes one or more parameters that control adjustment of one or more respective adjustable elements of the vehicle. The controller transmits, to the vehicle, the selected parameter set to control a setting of the one or more adjustable elements of the vehicle.

Parameter sets for vehicles

Systems, methods, and software can be used to provide secure inter-vehicle data communications. In some aspects, a method, comprising: receiving, at a security server and from a hardware security processor connected to a system bus of a vehicle, security confidence data of the vehicle, wherein the security confidence data include at least one of version information of a software code executing on a component of the vehicle, diagnostic data information of the vehicle, or data traffic pattern information of the vehicle; determining, at the security server, a security confidence score of the vehicle; receiving, at the security server, a query from a different vehicle; and in response to the query, transmitting the confidence score of the vehicle to the different vehicle.

Providing secure inter-vehicle data communications

A system determines a baseline of at least one route segment based on measurement data received from a plurality of vehicles. The system receives first measurement data of a first vehicle that has traveled along the at least one route segment, and compares the first measurement data to the baseline. Based on the comparing, the system determines whether operation of the first vehicle is within an acceptable tolerance of a performance criterion, and determines whether the at least one route segment is an undesirable route segment according to a route criterion.

Vehicle assessment

Systems, methods, and software can be used to provide inter-vehicle data communications for multimedia content. In some aspects, a method is disclosed comprising: receiving, at a first vehicle, a multimedia content request message from a second vehicle, wherein the multimedia content request message indicates a target location at which multimedia content is requested; determining, a current location of the first vehicle; in response to determining that the current location matching the target location, generating the multimedia content; and transmitting, by the first vehicle, the multimedia content.
