A control apparatus (10) generates probe data from sensing data obtained by sensing objects in a mobile object's surroundings. The control apparatus (10) selects at least some pieces of probe data as transmission data from the probe data generated, according to a communication resource determined according to a role of the mobile object. The control apparatus (10) transmits the transmission data selected to a management server (20). The management server (20) updates management data such as a dynamic map based on the transmission data.

A vehicle control system for providing information to support an overtaking maneuver by a first vehicle, the vehicle control system includes: a processing circuitry adapted to be operatively connected to a traffic view camera and configured to: receive image data of at least one other vehicle in traffic by the traffic view camera; determine, based on the image data of the at least one other vehicle in traffic, overtaking support data indicative of at least one gap in the traffic suitable for an overtaking maneuver; and provide the overtaking support data to the first vehicle for supporting an overtaking maneuver by the first vehicle.

A vehicle control device causes an automatic brake to function even for an obstacle suddenly appearing from outside a sensor detection range in a place estimated to be dangerous such as an intersection. A vehicle control device calculates time-to-collision TTC based on a detection result of an obstacle sensor, and controls a brake, which is an actuator of a vehicle, based on the calculated time-to-collision TTC. The vehicle control device includes a determination unit that determines right turn or left turn of the vehicle, and a command unit that sends a command according to a determination result of the determination unit to the brake. When determining that the vehicle is turning right or left, the determination unit changes the time-to-collision TTC to a longer value by extending more than that at the time of traveling straight.

A method for generating a routing map of an area to be used for guiding a vehicle in the area, comprising obtaining a real-world map of the area comprising a driving network forming a graph with actual locations of the area connected by driving segments along which the vehicle is intended to be guided, wherein at least one of the actual locations is a start location for the vehicle and at least one of the actual locations is a target destination for the vehicle; and generating the routing map by providing guiding instructions for the vehicle for each driving segment, wherein guiding instructions for at least one driving segment comprise forward guiding instructions for guiding the vehicle in a forward direction of the vehicle along the driving segment.

Disclosed are a method and a device for same, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a VRU path map including joint information; predicting the movement path of a VRU device; and transmitting a first message including information about the movement path of the VRU, wherein: the joint information includes location information about joints, and information about the angle and probability of each of the plurality of VRU paths branched at the joints; the VRU device determines a specific joint from among the joints on the basis of the location of the VRU and a progress direction measured by a sensor, and predicts the movement path of the VRU by correcting the probability of each of the VRU paths on the basis of the difference in angle between the progress angle and the angle of each of the VRU paths branched at the specific joint.

A traffic indication information determining method includes: obtaining n pieces of first traffic indication information from n sensors, where the first traffic indication information is used to indicate traffic indication information of a traffic command target, the traffic indication information is used to provide a road traffic rule for a vehicle, and n is an integer greater than or equal to 1; and determining second traffic indication information based on the n pieces of first traffic indication information. In the method, the n pieces of first traffic indication information of the traffic command target are obtained based on the n sensors, and then the second traffic indication information used when the vehicle actually travels is determined based on the n pieces of first traffic indication information.

A system and method for controlling vehicles and for providing assistance to operated vehicles is discussed and described herein.

The present disclosure includes systems and methods for controlling the lane positions of a plurality of vehicles to reduce roadway wear. At least one controller is configured to receive information regarding a reference that may indicate a lane boundary. The controller determines a lane position offset from the reference, where the offset may be randomly selected or deterministically determined with an algorithm. The at least one controller is further configured to assign the lane position offset to one vehicle of a group of vehicles so that the assigned offset is different from the lane position offsets of the other vehicles. The assignment of different lane position offsets distributes wear across the lane of the roadway.

To realize an apparatus and a method for receiving a recognition level of an own vehicle from another vehicle and/or an infrastructure facility and performing control to improve a recognition level. A recognition level of the own vehicle calculated by another vehicle or the infrastructure facility is received, and control for improvement of a recognition level of the own vehicle is executed in accordance with the received recognition level. As the control for improvement of a recognition level of the own vehicle, any process is executed among: (a) a process of reducing a traveling speed or stopping; (b) a process of turning on a light; and (c) a process of changing transmission information from the own vehicle. As the process of changing transmission information, a process of adding, to the transmission information, vehicle location information, vehicle speed information, vehicle size information, or reference marker position information is executed.

A method and apparatus for controlling an unmanned driving device are provided. An unmanned driving device obtains a travel trajectory of the unmanned driving device as a first trajectory, obtains a travel trajectory of a target object around as a second trajectory, and determines a spatial relation between the unmanned driving device and the target object according to the first trajectory and the second trajectory. Subsequently, the unmanned driving device can code the spatial relation according to a preset coding manner to obtain spatial coding information, where each code in the spatial coding information is configured to represent a spatial relation between the unmanned driving device and the target object at a moment corresponding to the code.
