Abstract
A method includes the monitoring of an exchange of one or more messages with an infrastructure system, the performance of an analysis of the one or more messages, the generation of a virtual dynamic boundary associated with a marshaling environment, and the de-boarding of the vehicle in response to a current location of the vehicle being outside of the virtual dynamic boundary.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- monitoring, by a vehicle-marshaling algorithm of a vehicle, an exchange of one or more messages with an infrastructure system;
- performing an analysis of the one or more messages;
- generating a virtual dynamic boundary associated with a marshaling environment based on the analysis of the one or more messages;
- and
- de-boarding the vehicle in response to a current location of the vehicle being outside of the virtual dynamic boundary.
A system comprising:
- an infrastructure system configured to receive one or more messages from a vehicle;
- and
- a vehicle system configured to:
- monitor, by a vehicle-marshaling algorithm of the vehicle, an exchange of the one or more messages with the infrastructure system,
- perform an analysis of the one or more messages,
- generate a virtual dynamic boundary associated with a marshaling environment based on the analysis of the one or more messages, and
- de-board the vehicle in response to a current location of the vehicle being outside of the virtual dynamic boundary.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- monitor, by a vehicle-marshaling algorithm of a vehicle, an exchange of one or more messages with an infrastructure system;
- perform an analysis of the one or more messages;
- generate a virtual dynamic boundary associated with a marshaling environment based on the analysis of the one or more messages;
- and
- de-board the vehicle in response to a current location of the vehicle being outside of the virtual dynamic boundary.
