    摘要: A system and method for warning a vehicle driver of a potential collision when turning left or right at or near an intersection, where the system and method provide additional analysis to limit false positive and false negative warnings based on specialized circumstances. The method includes determining if the host vehicle is likely to turn at or near the intersection, and obtaining speed, velocity and position data of the host vehicle and any relevant remote vehicles. The method determines a predicted path of the host vehicle and the remote vehicles based on the speed, velocity and position data, and issues a warning to a driver of the host vehicle if the host vehicle and one of the remote vehicles may collide based on the predicted paths. If the host vehicle is in a specialized circumstance, the method provides additional collision analysis to reduce false positive warnings and/or false negative warnings.

    摘要: A system and method for identifying the position and orientation of a vehicle. The method includes obtaining an environmental model of a particular location from, for example, a map database on the vehicle or a roadside unit. The method further includes detecting the position of the vehicle using GPS signals, determining range measurements from the vehicle to stationary objects at the location using radar sensors and detecting visual cues around the vehicle using cameras. The method includes registering the stationary objects and detected visual cues with stationary objects and visual cues in the environmental model, and using those range measurements to the stationary objects and visual cues that are matched in the environmental model to determine the position and orientation of the vehicle. The vehicle can update the environmental model based on the detected stationary objects and visual cues.

    摘要: A system and method for providing lane changing maneuvers in an autonomously driven vehicle. The vehicle includes a navigation controller that provides a planned route for the vehicle to follow and a vehicle controller that receives route information from the navigation controller and provides steering, braking and throttle control for the vehicle to follow the route. Either the navigation controller or the vehicle controller may initiate a lane change maneuver to cause the vehicle to be steered from a travel lane to an adjacent lane. In response to the lane change requirement, the navigation controller provides a route segment to the vehicle controller and a lane-change zone so that the vehicle controller can steer the vehicle to the adjacent lane while in the lane-change zone.

    摘要: A method for prioritizing potential threats identified by vehicle active safety systems. The method includes providing context information including map information, vehicle position information, traffic assessment information, road condition information, weather condition information, and vehicle state information. The method calculates a system context value for each active safety system using the context information. Each active safety system provides a system threat level value, a system braking value, a system steering value, and a system throttle value. The method calculates an overall threat level value using all of the system context values and all of the system threat level values. The method then provides a braking request value to vehicle brakes based on all of the system braking values, a throttle request value to a vehicle throttle based on all of the system throttle values, and a steering request value to vehicle steering based on all of the system steering values.

    摘要: A method for automated lane centering and/or lane changing purposes for a vehicle traveling on a roadway that employs roadway points from a map database to determine a reference vehicle path and sensors on the vehicle for detecting static and moving objects to adjust the reference path. The method includes reducing the curvature of the reference path to generate a reduced curvature reference path that reduces the turning requirements of the vehicle and setting the speed of the vehicle from posted roadway speeds from the map database. The method also includes providing multiple candidate vehicle paths and vehicle speeds to avoid the static and moving objects in front of the vehicle.
