    摘要: According to one aspect, methods to select and implement a failover behavior based on situational awareness, when an autonomous vehicle enters a failover condition, are provided. Operation design domains, other users who share a road with the autonomous vehicle, and tailgaters may be considered when determining a deceleration profile, a trajectory length, and a trajectory type for the autonomous vehicle to follow when executing failover behavior. An autonomous driving system of an autonomous vehicle detects a failover event while the autonomous vehicle is traveling along a path and analyzes an environment surrounding the autonomous vehicle to determine whether a tailgater is present behind the autonomous vehicle. The autonomous driving system generates a failover plan for performing a failover behavior based on the failover event and the environment surrounding the autonomous vehicle and engages the autonomous vehicle to implement the failover plan for performing the failover behavior.

    摘要: An apparatus for communication for use in an electronic mechanical brake system for braking a vehicle by using electronic mechanical brakes respectively disposed on a left front wheel disposed on the front left side of the vehicle, a right front wheel disposed on the front right side of the vehicle, a left rear wheel disposed on the rear left side of the vehicle, and a right rear wheel disposed on the rear right side of the vehicle, comprising: a main control unit for controlling braking of the vehicle by transmitting a braking command to each of the electronic mechanical brakes; a wheel control unit disposed on each of the electronic mechanical brakes; a first local CAN forming a communication channel through which braking commands are transmitted and received between the main control unit and the wheel control unit; and a second local CAN forming a communication channel between the main control unit and the wheel control unit to secure communication redundancy of the vehicle with the first local CAN.

    摘要: A vehicle controller includes a processor configured to determine whether a reproposal condition for reproposing lane change control for a host vehicle to change lanes is satisfied, when a proposal of the lane change control is not accepted or when execution of the lane change control is interrupted after acceptance of the lane change control, and repropose execution of the lane change control to a driver of the host vehicle via a notification device provided for the host vehicle, when the reproposal condition is satisfied. The processor determines that the reproposal condition is satisfied, when a start condition for starting the lane change control is predicted to be satisfied.
