Abstract
A method includes the monitoring of one or more characteristics associated with a wireless communication link between an automated vehicle and an infrastructure system, a prediction of one or more connectivity-related issues associated with the wireless communication link, and an initiation of one or more corrective actions in response to predicting the one or more connectivity-related issues.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- monitoring one or more characteristics associated with a first wireless communication link between an automated vehicle and an infrastructure system;
- predicting one or more connectivity-related issues associated with the first wireless communication link based on one or more inputs;
- and
- initiating one or more corrective actions in response to predicting the one or more connectivity-related issues, wherein the one or more corrective actions includes causing one or more signal-boosting drones to be deployed within proximity of the automated vehicle.
A system comprising:
- a vehicle system configured to:
- monitor one or more characteristics associated with a first wireless communication link between an automated vehicle and an infrastructure system,
- predict one or more connectivity-related issues associated with the first wireless communication link based on one or more inputs, and
- initiate one or more corrective actions in response to predicting the one or more connectivity-related issues;
- and
- one or more signal-boosting drones configured to:
- proceed to a location within a proximity of the automated vehicle in response to the initiation of the one or more corrective actions.
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 one or more characteristics associated with a first wireless communication link between an automated vehicle and an infrastructure system;
- predict one or more connectivity-related issues associated with the first wireless communication link based on one or more inputs;
- and
- initiate one or more corrective actions in response to predicting the one or more connectivity-related issues, wherein the one or more corrective actions includes causing one or more signal-boosting drones to be deployed within proximity of the automated vehicle.
