A system and methods are provided for implementing mitigation action selection, which utilizes a cooperative approach that recognizes how many other connected vehicles are in the vicinity and considers other factors for determining which control action to undertake for congestion mitigation. Various parameters in combination with traffic models are used to evaluate the susceptibility of each lane to propagation of disturbances. For example, a connected vehicle may first request a lane change, and an impact of that lane change on traffic is analyzed. If feasible, the lane change and define an optimal control action to mitigate any disturbance on traffic. If the impact is considered significant, then the lane change request may be denied. Additionally, a learning approach can be used to reinforcement learning model to perform the decision-making process. Accordingly, an optimal control action that lessens the effect of disturbances on traffic congestion can be determined for vehicles.

A low-pressure side with an air outlet is fluidly coupled to the inner conduit. The air outlet expels the propulsion air-flow into the atmosphere.

Technology disclosed herein provides a cannula TCP actuator comprising an annealed microtube assembly including a polymer microtube having inserted therein a resistive heating wire such that the resistive heating wire extends through the length of the polymer microtube, wherein the microtube assembly is arranged in a twisted and coiled tube. The cannula TCP actuator is fabricated by inserting a resistive heating wire into the polymer microtube, forming a microtube assembly by applying a longitudinal force to a first end of the polymer microtube in a direction parallel to a center axis of the polymer microtube and in an opposite direction relative to a second end of the polymer microtube, and applying a rotational force to the second end of the polymer microtube during application of the longitudinal force to cause the polymer microtube to twist and coil about the center axis, and annealing the microtube assembly.

A corrosion monitoring system includes a processor, and a memory in communication with the processor and having a control module, a potentiostat, coupled to a clamp with a first plate and a second plate. The control module includes instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to control the potentiostat to apply a voltage to the first plate and the second plate during an EIS test of a coating on a metal substrate disposed between the first plate and the second plate. The corrosion monitoring system also monitors or detects a change in at least one of a phase angle and an impedance of the applied voltage, and identifies a change in corrosion activation at the substrate for any coating system based, at least in part, on the change in the at least one of the phase angle and the impedance.

Methods, systems, and apparatus for a power hood system. The power hood system includes a powered hood rotatable between a closed position and an open position, at least one hood latch (e.g., a primary hood latch and/or a secondary hood latch) configured to secure the powered hood in the closed position (or a half latch position). The power hood system further includes an electronic control unit electrically coupled to the power hood. The electronic control unit is configured to automatically control the powered hood to move to the closed position in response to (1) receiving a drive mode signal indicating that the vehicle has been shifted into drive and (2) receiving a latch position signal indicating that a hood latch (e.g., the secondary hood latch) is not in the latched state.
