Abstract
A method includes the receipt of one or more vehicle marshaling messages, the transmission of an infrastructure-initiated certification key associated with the vehicle, the receipt of a vehicle-initiated certification key based on one or more nodes of the vehicle verifying the infrastructure-initiated certification key, the verification that the vehicle-initiated certification key corresponds to an identify of the vehicle, and the generation of a virtual bounding box indicative of a current location of the vehicle.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, in response to a broadcasted onboarding command, one or more vehicle marshaling messages based on a vehicle located within a distance-related threshold from an infrastructure system;
- transmitting, to one or more transmission points, an infrastructure-initiated certification key associated with the vehicle;
- receiving, from the one or more transmission points, a vehicle-initiated certification key based on one or more nodes of the vehicle verifying the infrastructure-initiated certification key;
- verifying that the vehicle-initiated certification key corresponds to an identity of the vehicle;
- and
- generating, in response to verifying that the vehicle-initiated certification key corresponds to the identity of the vehicle, a virtual bounding box indicative of a current location of the vehicle, wherein the virtual bounding box is generated based on a ranging location derived from a message exchange between the one or more transmission points and the one or more nodes of the vehicle.

A method comprising:
- receiving, in response to being located within a distance-related threshold from an infrastructure system, a broadcasted onboarding command at a vehicle;
- transmitting, based on receipt of the broadcasted onboarding command, one or more vehicle marshaling messages to the infrastructure system from the vehicle;
- verifying an infrastructure-initiated certification key received from a transmission point of a plurality of transmission points, wherein the transmission point is associated with a location of the vehicle;
- and
- transmitting, in response to verifying the infrastructure-initiated certification key, a vehicle-initiated certification key to the plurality of transmission points, wherein the transmission of the vehicle-initiated certification key causes a virtual bounding box indicative of a current location of the vehicle to be generated by the infrastructure system, wherein the virtual bounding box is generated based on a ranging location derived from a message exchange between the plurality of transmission points and one or more nodes of the vehicle.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- an infrastructure system configured to:
- receive, in response to a broadcasted onboarding command, one or more vehicle marshaling messages based on a vehicle located within a distance-related threshold from an infrastructure system,
- transmit, to a plurality of transmission points, an infrastructure-initiated certification key associated with the vehicle,
- receive, from the one or more transmission points, a vehicle-initiated certification key,
- verify that the vehicle-initiated certification key corresponds to an identity of the vehicle, and
- generate, in response to verifying that the vehicle-initiated certification key corresponds to the identity of the vehicle, a virtual bounding box indicative of a current location of the vehicle, wherein the virtual bounding box is generated based on a ranging location derived from a message exchange between the plurality of transmission points and one or more nodes of the vehicle;
- and
- the vehicle configured to:
- receive, in response to being located within the distance-related threshold from the infrastructure system, the broadcasted onboarding command,
- transmit, based on receipt of the broadcasted onboarding command, the one or more vehicle marshaling messages to the infrastructure system,
- verify the infrastructure-initiated certification key received from a transmission point of the plurality of transmission points, wherein the transmission point is associated with the location of the vehicle, and
- transmit, in response to verifying the infrastructure-initiated certification key, the vehicle-initiated certification key to the plurality of transmission points.
