Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media provide a blind online calibration mechanism to calibrate the position of the radar unit while the self-driving vehicle is in motion without the use of any map data. Specifically, a calibration system associated with the self-driving vehicle is configured to adjust the boresight angle of the radar within a calibration range and monitor the convergence or divergence pattern of the resulting clutter locations. The boresight angle of the radar unit may be progressively adjusted in static or dynamic degree increments until the convergence of the clutter curves is observed. In this way, without using any map data or factory settings, radar calibration can be conducted as often as needed while the vehicle is moving. Radar sensing and measurement accuracy is thus improved.
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media provide an adaptive gating mechanism for radar tracking initialization. Specifically, the radar system obtains measurement data of target points, and then determines, based on the measured position and dopplers of points in the first few scans, whether the doppler and displacement parameters satisfy an initialization constraint. When the initialization constraint is not satisfied, the radar system flags the respective cluster with an initialization flag, and adaptively uses the measured position and doppler of scanned points to determine the gating size for the next scan, instead of using a fixed gate size. When the initialization flag of the same cluster across a few consecutive scans satisfies a combination logic, the radar system determines that the tracking enters into the association stage, e.g., the radar system formally generates a track for the target points along a series of scans.

The disclosed computer-implemented method may include matching transportation requests (e.g., made to a dynamic transportation matching system) to one or more transportation providers via transfer points. Matching one or more transportation requestors to a single transportation provider may lead to inefficiencies. By matching transportation requestors with one or more transportation providers via transfer points, a dynamic transportation matching system may increase the efficiency of trips for both transportation providers and transportation requestors. The method may also allocate transportation resources more efficiently across different regions, areas, and/or types of transit areas. In addition, the method may efficiently distribute transportation requestors across different transit options throughout a region to minimize congestion, to minimize over-usage of some constrained transit options, and/or to minimize travel time of transportation providers and/or transportation requestors throughout the region. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
The disclosed computer-implemented method may include matching transportation requests. By collecting and batching match requests over an extended period, a dynamic transportation matching system may identify more efficient matches (e.g., may match transportation requests with greater overlaps). In addition, by dynamically setting and/or extending the upper bound of time that a transportation request may remain batched with other transportation requests, the dynamic transportation matching system may account for contextual information thereby situationally improving matching efficiencies made possible with higher upper bounds while avoiding requestor dissatisfaction, lost conversions, or other inefficiencies that may result from upper bounds that are too high. Furthermore, by providing a notification interface for a transportation requestor device that notifies the requestor when to be ready, a transportation matching application may provide a positive requestor experience while allowing for longer match windows. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
The disclosed computer-implemented method may include determining the allocation of personal mobility vehicles. By monitoring personal mobility vehicles and determining, based on sensor data from the personal mobility vehicles, the current usage status of the personal mobility vehicles, a dynamic transportation matching system may improve the user experience of transportation requestors relinquishing custody of personal mobility vehicles. In addition, the dynamic transportation matching system may reduce transfer time between personal mobility vehicles and other modes of transportation and/or may improve the availability of personal mobility vehicles across a dynamic transportation network. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
The disclosed computer-implemented method may include matching transportation requests to personal mobility vehicles. A dynamic transportation network may incorporate various vehicle types, such as bicycles and/or scooters. Certain vehicles may have advantages over other vehicles in certain contexts but be disadvantageous in others. For example, a dynamic transportation matching system may match a user transporting a bulky package with a basket-equipped bike rather than a scooter without a basket. Moreover, the dynamic transportation matching system may account for a variety of other factors, including but not limited to route features, ambient conditions, and vehicle status when matching a transportation requestor to a specific vehicle. Moreover, some systems may account for vehicle wear-and-tear, battery power levels, operational status, etc. to avoid matching users to vehicles that would be unable to fulfill a transportation request. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
The disclosed computer-implemented method may include automated signaling for networked personal mobility vehicles (PMVs). In some embodiments, a system may identify a PMV in use by a transportation requestor taking a trip. The system may also predict one or more actions of the PMV based on navigational data for the trip. Additionally, the system may select one or more signals corresponding to a predicted action of the PMV. In some embodiments, the system may determine, based on a current state of the PMV, that the predicted action of the PMV will be initiated within a time frame. Furthermore, the system may send a start command to the PMV to initiate a signal in response to determining the predicted action will be initiated. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
The disclosed computer-implemented method may include tracking personal mobility vehicle batteries. In some embodiments, the method may track and maintain battery power for personal mobility vehicles to help to ensure that there are personal mobility vehicles with sufficient charge available to perform the needed transportation tasks within a dynamic transportation network. In some examples, a swappable battery for a personal mobility vehicle may communicate with a dynamic transportation management system and provide information about current and/or historical charge information. In some examples, the method may use the current state of charge and/or historical charge information to predict the performance of the battery.
