Various aspects of a system and method for driving assistance along a path are disclosed herein. In accordance with an embodiment, a unique identifier is received from a communication device at an electronic control unit (ECU) of a first vehicle. The unique identifier is received when the first vehicle has reached a first location along a first portion of the path. A communication channel is established between the first vehicle and the communication device based on the received unique identifier. Data associated with a second portion of the path is received by the ECU from the communication device based on the established communication channel. Alert information associated with the second portion of the path is generated by the ECU based on the received data.

This disclosure relates to a distributed data center that includes resources carried by a fleet of vehicles. The system includes sensors configured to generate output signals conveying information related to the vehicles and/or the surroundings of vehicles. The system includes a remote computing server configured to maintain map data and distribute it to the fleet, including local map data to individual vehicles pertaining to their surroundings. Individual vehicles may compare the local map data with the information related to their individual surroundings. Based on such comparisons, individual vehicles may detect discrepancies between the local map data and the information related to their individual surroundings. The remote computing server may modify and/or update the map data based on the detected discrepancies.

To provide an information generation device and the like that, when generating transmission data of inter-mobile body communication having a limited data amount, generate information that can be effectively used by a mobile body on a reception side. An information generation device 1 mountable on a mobile body (5), the information generation device 1 estimating a control attribute concerning driving control for another mobile body existing in a communicable range from a position of the mobile body (5), the control attribute being a control attribute of mobile bodies relatively large in number, (S4) and generating information for transmission transmitted to the other mobile body, the information for transmission including mobile body information of an item prioritized according to the estimated control attribute among a plurality of items of mobile body information including information concerning the driving control for the mobile body (5) (S7).

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, an apparatus and a device for an illegal vehicle warning. The method includes: detecting an illegal vehicle in a preset area; and performing the illegal vehicle warning on a target vehicle entering the preset area according to vehicle information of a detected illegal vehicle in the preset area. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the traffic control unit detects the illegal vehicle in the preset area, and the illegal vehicle warning is performed on the target vehicle entering the preset area according to the vehicle information of the detected illegal vehicle in the preset area, thereby avoiding or mitigating the collision of the target vehicle with the illegal vehicle, and improving the traffic safety of the target vehicle.

A method for managing an urgency state of a first vehicle, implemented by a managing system. The method includes: receiving a first indication of the urgency state of the first vehicle; determining a list of potential itineraries including at least one potential itinerary of the first vehicle; and sending an alert message to at least one detecting element, located at a traffic lane, the at least one detecting element being determined as a function of the at least one potential itinerary of the first vehicle.

A vehicle control method of an autonomous vehicle for a right and left turn at a crossroad includes: determining whether a second vehicle intends to change a lane while passing a front or a rear of a first vehicle in order to move to a target lane for the right and left turn at the crossroad; controlling the first vehicle to decelerate when it is determined that the second vehicle intends to change the lane while passing the front of the first vehicle; determining whether the second vehicle is entering the first lane toward the front or the rear of the first vehicle; calculating a steering amount of the second vehicle when it is determined that the second vehicle is entering the first lane toward the front of the first vehicle; and controlling the first vehicle to decelerate according to the steering amount.

Data about operating parameters external to a vehicle can be input to a neural network that outputs at least one profile defining at least one of a cleaning protocol or a cooling protocol for a vehicle sensor, wherein the operating parameters include one or more of current weather conditions, future weather conditions, images indicative of a current weather condition, city infrastructure, duration of a route to be traversed, a time period to traverse the route, and vehicle location. Operation of at least one of a cleaning device or a cooling device can be initiated according to the at least one of the cleaning protocol or the cooling protocol when the operating parameters to the at least one profile.

A parking assist apparatus is configured to: detect a level difference existing around the vehicle; determine whether the detected level difference is a passing target level difference required to be passed without avoidance or an avoidance target level difference required to be avoided; and control a notification apparatus to output, toward an inside of a compartment of the vehicle, a notification indicating a passing plan of the passing target level difference in response to the detected level difference, which exists on a traveling route to be traveled by the vehicle within a parking area for parking purpose, being determined as the passing target level difference. The notification apparatus is controlled to output the notification indicating the passing plan of the passing target level difference in a notification mode that distinguishes the passing target level difference from the avoidance target level difference.

The present disclosure relates to a method for which a road area is divided into multiple resources and a storage device for reservation data for exclusively reserving the respective resource is provided that is made available to each road user. A control circuit of a respective road user plans a respective movement route over at least one of the resources on the basis of reservation data currently stored in the storage device and takes the planned movement route as a basis for reserving the resources required therefor by generating its own reservation data in the storage device.
