A method, wherein a received planned trajectory of a first vehicle relative to a received planned trajectory of the second vehicle is evaluated with respect to a potentially safety-critical situation and, if a potential safety-critical situation is detected, the planned trajectory of the second vehicle is output to be received by the first vehicle. Moreover, a corresponding method for execution by a communication apparatus of a first vehicle or an infrastructure device, wherein a planned trajectory of the first vehicle is output by means of a mobile radio interface of the first vehicle or the infrastructure device and by means of a communication interface designed for direct vehicle-to-X communication of the first vehicle or the infrastructure device. Furthermore, a method for preventing a potential safety-critical traffic situation between a first vehicle and a second vehicle, a processing apparatus, a communication apparatus and a system.

In an aspect of the disclosure, methods, a computer-readable media, and apparatus are provided. A method for wireless communication includes detecting a first object using one or more sensors. The method includes receiving one or more messages from one or more second devices indicating detection of one or more second objects. The one or more messages indicating information about the one or more second objects. The method further includes selecting information about the first object to report in a message to one or more third devices based on whether the first object corresponds to at least one object of the one or more second objects in the one or more messages.

A vehicle connectivity and communication device includes at least one transmitter/receiver for establishing and maintaining communications with a system for controlling and/or monitoring vehicles and/or traffic over at least two different communications infrastructures, at least one sensor for measuring and reporting a performance characteristic of communication over the different communications infrastructures, and a controller for selecting an active communications infrastructure based on the measured performance characteristic.

One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for a reader to transmit and receive a signal to and from a tag, the method comprising: a step in which a first reader transmits a first signal to a tag; and a step in which the first reader receives the first signal reflected on the tag. The timing for the first reader to transmit the first signal is determined by using an offset value based on an ID related to the first reader.

A lane-borrowing vehicle driving method includes generating, by a control center, a first lane-borrowing driving policy of the vehicle based on a lane-borrowing requirement, a moving trend of the vehicle, and a preset traffic rule, where the lane-borrowing requirement includes a lane-borrowing driving reason, and the first lane-borrowing driving policy includes an instruction for controlling lane-borrowing driving of the vehicle, and sending, by the control center, the first lane-borrowing driving policy to the vehicle. The embodiments of this application are used for temporary lane-borrowing driving and lane-borrowing driving on a tidal lane.

Disclosed embodiments include technologies for improving safety mechanisms in computer assisted and/or automated driving (CA/AD) vehicles for protecting vulnerable road users (VRUs). Embodiments include VRU clustering mechanisms, VRU profile awareness mechanisms for ITS-Ss, and VRU Maneuver Coordination Mechanisms for Collision Risk Analysis and Collision Avoidance. Other embodiments are described and/or claimed.

An apparatus and a method for controlling vehicle driving are provided. The apparatus includes a sensor that detects a first steering angle and a lane of a first vehicle and senses a second vehicle traveling in an opposite lane. A communication device receives a second steering angle of the second vehicle and a controller determines whether the first steering angle and the second steering angle are changed. The controller determines which of the vehicles enters a curved road based on a determination result and operates the vehicle which does not enter the curved road to decelerate.

Collaborative perception is based on recognition that a fleet of AVs and stationary infrastructure objects equipped with sensors may be configured to communicate with one another in sharing their sensor data, thus benefiting from collaborative perception, rather than being limited to their individual perception. Three specific scenarios of collaborative perception are disclosed. The first scenario relates to two AVs in the vicinity of one another exchanging complexity scores indicative of their respective environments. The second scenario relates to an AV detecting that it has a blind spot and seeking other AVs or infrastructure objects to provide information indicative of the environment in the blind spot. The third scenario relates to providing infrastructure objects equipped with sensors in appropriate locations so that, when an AV is in the vicinity of such objects, the AV may receive information from their sensors.

To provide an automatic driving and driving support system, an automatic driving support apparatus, an automatic driving vehicle, and the like which can make the automatic driving vehicle generate the target traveling track suitable for the front road state which cannot be detected by the automatic driving vehicle, while suppressing the increase in the calculation processing load of the automatic vehicle. In an automatic driving and driving support system, when the target traveling track is acquired from the preceding vehicle which precedes and travels the same lane as a lane of the scheduled traveling route acquired from the support object vehicle, the automatic driving support apparatus transmits the target traveling track to the support object vehicle; and the automatic driving vehicle generates the target traveling track of the own vehicle based on the acquired target traveling track of the preceding vehicle.
