A method for selecting at least one connection pattern drivable by road users using a control device. Trajectory data are received from at least one area. On the basis of the received trajectory data, starting points and end points of drivable trajectories are determined. All the connection patterns between the starting points and the end points of the drivable trajectories are determined in the form of connecting lines. The determined connection patterns are filtered by at least one filter. Connection patterns remaining after filtering are compared with route profiles from the trajectory data. For each remaining connection pattern a number of route profiles which correspond to the connection pattern are counted. A connection pattern with the highest number of matching route profiles is selected. A control device, a computer program, and a machine-readable storage medium are also described.

A method and apparatus according to the invention can include energizing a wireless communication device coupled to a processor of a vehicular entity thus establishing a secure channel or communication area around the vehicular entity; exchanging information and data with other vehicular entities entering the established channel or communication area; regulating some vehicle parameters of said vehicular entity for driving the departure and/or travelling of the vehicular entity according to the received information and data.

The present disclosure relates to a method for the fully automated guidance of a motor vehicle by a vehicle system in a driving situation of at least one driving situation class, wherein the vehicle system has a control device and accesses position data of a position sensor. The method starts with providing a traffic rule database in which traffic rule sets for a plurality of geographic regions are stored in a machine-readable formal language and which can be accessed by the control device, and determining a geographical region currently traveled by the motor vehicle based on the current position data and retrieving a traffic rule set for the currently traveled geographical region from the traffic rule database via the control device. After or upon determination of a trajectory currently to be traveled by the control device, the vehicle system will verify the trajectory for compliance with traffic rules using the retrieved traffic rule set for the geographic region currently traveled by the control device, wherein the trajectory currently to be traveled is adjusted in the event of non-compliance, and guide the motor vehicle based on the trajectory currently to be traveled.

Embodiments of the present disclosure set forth techniques for providing speed limit information to a vehicle. In an aspect, a computer-implemented method includes receiving, from a vehicle, navigation information associated with the vehicle; determining one or more predicted positions associated with the vehicle based on the navigation information; determining one or more candidate map regions associated with the vehicle based on the one or more predicted positions; associating corresponding speed limit information with each of the one or more candidate map regions; and transmitting, to the vehicle, the one or more candidate map regions; wherein the one or more candidate map regions are usable by the vehicle to provide speed limit information to a driver of the vehicle.

A vehicle coordination system is provided for coordinating the trajectories of vehicles on a road network. The vehicle coordination system comprises a plurality of vehicles each having respective vehicle position tracking assemblies that are in communication with respective vehicle communication systems for transmitting vehicle state messages including positions of the vehicles. A task assignment allocator is provided that is arranged to generate task assignments for each of the plurality of vehicles, including destinations in the road network for the vehicles. A vehicle coordination assembly is in communication with the vehicle communication systems via a data network for receiving the vehicle state messages. The vehicle coordination assembly is configured to determine respective paths for each vehicle to arrive at their respective destinations and determine trajectory control commands for each vehicle to traverse their respective paths whilst optimizing a predetermined objective and avoiding active interactions of two or more of the vehicles occurring in any shared areas of the paths. The vehicle coordination assembly is configured to transmit the trajectory control commands to each vehicle. The predetermined objective may be an aggregate traversal time for the vehicles.

A method for providing driving assistance based on a HD map includes acquiring information such as position of a vehicle and timing, and acquiring a speed of the vehicle based on the manner of driving, and acquiring distance an intersection in front of the vehicle and information from a HD map such as traffic light intersection ahead. Deciding such as whether the vehicle can pass through the intersection based on the speed of the vehicle, intersection distance, and the traffic light information and prompting and/or controlling the vehicle if it is determined that passage through is not possible. A vehicle-mounted apparatus applying the method is also disclosed.

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 vehicle policy server maintains a set of policies for constraining operations of one or more remote vehicles. The policies may specify areas, locations, or routes that specified vehicles are restricted from accessing based on a set of acquired information. An application programming interface (API) enables programmatic updates of the policies or related information. Policies may be enforced by transmitting control signals fully or in part to onboard vehicle computers or to a teleoperation support module providing remote support to the vehicles using human teleoperators and/or artificial intelligence agents. The control signals may directly control the vehicles or teleoperation, or may cause a navigation system to present known restrictions in a suitable fashion such as generating an augmented reality display or mapping overlays.

A system of highly detailed mapping data for correcting the data format and detail level of the map data adaptively to a specification of a distribution destination. The system includes a data supplementing unit for supplementing medium-/low-detail map data to make the map data highly detailed, an authoring unit for editing the map data adapted to the multiple specifications which differ at least in one of the data format and the detail level, and a database for accumulating the edited map data to allow distribution of the map data as versatile data. The system includes a reliability evaluation unit communicating with the distribution destination via information, and allowing evaluation of reliability indicating a degree to which the versatile data are adapted to the specification, and a reliability registration unit for registering the reliability in the database by associating the evaluation of the reliability evaluation unit with the versatile data.
