Abstract

A method for controlling a transportation system includes using an output from a device within a vehicle interior to update a command input to a transportation system in response to detecting a triggering condition from the device within the vehicle interior affecting the transportation system.

Claims (58)

1 . A method for controlling a transportation system, the method comprising:

receiving an output from a device within a vehicle interior;

detecting a triggering condition from the output of the device within the vehicle interior affecting the transportation system; and

updating a command input to the transportation system in response to the detected triggering condition.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the device within the vehicle interior includes at least one of an on-board diagnostic system, a telemetry system, a vehicle-located sensor, or a wearable device.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting the triggering condition is based on a set of predefined rules that correlate the output of the device with specific operational states of the transportation system.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein updating the command input to the transportation system further includes:

transmitting the updated command input to a digital twin system of the vehicle; and

simulating effects of the command input on operation of the vehicle.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the digital twin system is further configured to provide feedback on the simulated effects, and the method further includes adjusting the command input based on the feedback from the digital twin system.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting the triggering condition includes detecting the triggering condition based on data indicative of a maintenance state of the vehicle from the output of the device, and the updating of the command input to the transportation system is performed to schedule maintenance for the vehicle.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the output from the device within the vehicle interior includes data indicative of a driver state, and the updating of the command input to the transportation system includes adjusting vehicle settings to enhance driver comfort or safety based on the driver state.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the output from the device within the vehicle interior includes data indicative of a vehicle energy utilization state, and the updating of the command input to the transportation system includes optimizing energy consumption of the vehicle based on the vehicle energy utilization state.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the output from the device within the vehicle interior includes data indicative of a vehicle navigation state, and the updating of the command input to the transportation system includes modifying a route of the vehicle based on the vehicle navigation state.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the output from the device within the vehicle interior includes data indicative of a vehicle component state, and the updating of the command input to the transportation system includes controlling a specific component of the vehicle based on the vehicle component state.

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the output from the device within the vehicle interior is processed by an artificial intelligence system to determine the triggering condition, and the artificial intelligence system is further configured to automatically generate the updated command input to the transportation system based on the output from the device.

12 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, at an application programming interface (API) from an edge intelligence system of the vehicle that provides connectivity to a system external to the vehicle, the output from the device within the vehicle interior.

13 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, at an API from an edge intelligence system of the vehicle that provides internal connectivity to a set of sensors and data sources of the vehicle, the output from the device within the vehicle interior.

14 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, at an API from an edge intelligence system of the vehicle that provides connectivity to an onboard artificial intelligence system, the output from the device within the vehicle interior.

15 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the transportation system includes a plurality of vehicles, and the updating of the command input to the transportation system includes coordinating operation of the plurality of vehicles based on the detected triggering condition.

16 . A transportation system, comprising:

a vehicle with an interior device configured to generate an output;

a command input module configured to receive a command input for controlling the transportation system; and

a processor configured to:

receive the output of the interior device;

detect a triggering condition that affects the transportation system in the output; and

update the command input for controlling the transportation system in response to detection of the triggering condition that affects the transportation system.

17 . The transportation system of claim 16 , wherein the interior device is one of an on-board diagnostic system, a telemetry system, a vehicle-located sensor, or a wearable device.

18 . The transportation system of claim 16 , wherein the processor is further configured to update the command input by interfacing with a digital twin system that represents a set of operating states of the vehicle.

19 . The transportation system of claim 18 , wherein the digital twin system is configured to receive vehicle parameter data from the interior device to determine a vehicle operating state.

20 . The transportation system of claim 18 , wherein the processor is further configured to manage a set of identities and roles of a user of the vehicle and to configure the command input module based on an identity from the set of identities of the user of the vehicle.

21 . The transportation system of claim 18 , wherein the processor is further configured to populate the digital twin system via an API from an edge intelligence system of the vehicle that provides 5G connectivity to a system external to the vehicle.

22 . The transportation system of claim 18 , wherein the processor is further configured to automatically configure the digital twin system based on a training set of usage activity by a set of digital twin users.

23 . The transportation system of claim 16 , wherein the processor is further configured to include a first neural network to detect a detected satisfaction state of a rider user occupying the vehicle through analysis of data gathered from sensors deployed in the vehicle for gathering physiological conditions of the rider user.

24 .
