Abstract
Disclosure herein are systems and methods for dynamically adjusting infrastructure items, such as street lights, construction signage, and/or other lighting elements. The systems and methods may include receiving environmental data for a sector containing the infrastructure items. A quality of infrastructure effectors located within the sector may be determined. A deviation from a standard infrastructure quality associated with the infrastructure effectors may be determined. A setting of the infrastructure items located in the sector may be changed to minimize the deviation from the standard infrastructure quality.
Claims23
A system of an autonomous vehicle for dynamically adjusting an infrastructure item, the system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform actions comprising:
- receiving environmental data for a sector containing the infrastructure item, the environmental data collected from the autonomous vehicle or another autonomous vehicle during operation in the sector;
- determining, based on the environmental data, a quality of an infrastructure effector located within the sector, wherein the infrastructure effector controls one or more effects of the infrastructure item;
- performing a comparison between a quality of a standard infrastructure item and the quality of the infrastructure effector;
- determining a deviation from the comparison;
- and
- causing a change of a setting of the infrastructure item to reduce the deviation from the quality of the standard infrastructure item.
At least one non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor of a control system for an autonomous system, cause the processor to perform actions comprising:
- receiving environmental data for a sector containing an infrastructure item, the environmental data collected from the autonomous system or another autonomous system;
- determining, based on the environmental data, a quality of infrastructure effector located within the sector, wherein the infrastructure effector controls one or more effects of the infrastructure item;
- performing a comparison between a quality of a standard infrastructure item and the quality of the infrastructure effector;
- determining a deviation from the comparison;
- and
- causing a change of a setting of the infrastructure item to reduce the deviation from the quality of the standard infrastructure item.
A control system of an autonomous system for dynamically adjusting infrastructure, the control system comprising:
- a plurality of sensors, each of the plurality of sensors associated with at least one of a plurality of infrastructure items;
- and
- a controller in communication with the plurality of infrastructure items and the plurality of sensors, the controller operative to perform actions comprising:
- receiving, from the plurality of sensors, environmental data for a sector containing the plurality of infrastructure items,
- determining, based on the environmental data, a quality of infrastructure effectors located within the sector, wherein the infrastructure effector controls one or more effects of the infrastructure item,
- performing a comparison between a quality of a standard infrastructure item and the quality of the infrastructure effector,
- determining a deviation from the comparison, and
- causing a change of a setting of at least one of the plurality of infrastructure items to reduce the deviation from the quality of the standard infrastructure item.
