Provided is a system for properly avoiding a waiting-for-entrance congestion caused by vehicles that stop on a road to enter a facility along the road. A map server 3 is configured to: acquire probe information for identifying a traveling lane in which each vehicle is traveling; acquire, based on the probe information, a congestion occurrence condition when traffic congestion repeatedly occurs in a specific lane at a specific location with a predetermined regularity; and generate, based on the congestion occurrence condition, specific lane congestion information about a congestion status in the specific lane. A control device of a vehicle acquires the specific lane congestion information delivered from the map server, and controls, based on the specific lane congestion information, traveling of the vehicle so as to avoid traffic congestion that is predicted to occur in the specific lane.

Systems and methods for generating calm or quiet routes are provided. When a user requests navigation directions and indicates a preference for a calm route, a plurality of routes between the origin location and the destination location requested by the user may be identified. Historical sensor data (e.g., including heart rate data, exterior vehicle noise level data, accelerometer data) and traffic data associated with route segments of each of the routes may be analyzed to identify indications of calmness associated with each route segment. Current traffic data associated with the route segments may be analyzed to assign a traffic score representing a level of congestion along the segment and corresponding to a level of insurance risk associated with traversing the segment. Based at least in part upon the indications of calmness and the traffic score associated with each route segment, a route may be selected and presented to the user.

A head-up display and a method for operating a head-up display for a motor vehicle. Virtual objects may be assigned to parts of the environment of the motor vehicle, where a virtual reference feature is obtained, the orientation of which is defined on the basis of a roadway that is or can be used by a vehicle. An orientation of the motor vehicle may be determined in relation to the virtual reference feature. A virtual object may be displayed when the part of the environment to which it is assigned lies within a field of view for the head-up display, wherein a horizontal position of the object that is displayed is defined in the field of view on the basis of the relative orientation to the virtual reference feature.

A vehicle system in a host vehicle, comprising a vehicle transceiver located in the host vehicle and configured to receive from a remote server a selectable maneuver in response to data indicative of a driving path of one or more remote vehicles identifying one or more hazards. The system may include a processor in communication the vehicle transceiver and programmed to output one or more selectable maneuvers responsive to the data indicative of the driving path of one or more remote vehicles in response to the data indicative of the driving path identifies one or more hazards in a vicinity of the host vehicle, and a display in communication with the processor and configured to display the one or more selectable maneuvers.

A head-up display and techniques for operating a head-up display for a motor vehicle. An assignment is obtained of at least one virtual object that can be displayed to a part of the environment. The head-up display may be operated in a normal display mode when the object assigned to the part of the environment is within a field of view for the head-up display. The head-up display is then operated in an alternative display mode when the object assigned to the part of the environment is not, or not entirely, contained within the field of view for the head-up display, wherein a virtual display is generated in the alternative display mode.

A system for speed control of electric bikes, electric scooters and road sign recognition for connected vehicles is presented in this invention. A web server system containing all the information on the road signs and traffic lights under the city's jurisdiction with street map is used. This server controls a controller installed on all the road signs and road traffic lights. This controller uses an ISM band transmitter to transmit content of the posted road sign as multiple data packets. These data packets are used by the controller installed in the vehicle to determine type of road signs and then inform the vehicle main system controller to perform appropriate operation for speed control and operation of the vehicle.

Systems and methods are provided for vehicle navigation. The systems and methods may detect traffic lights. For example, one or more traffic lights may be detected using detection-redundant camera detection paths, a fusion of information from a traffic light transmitter and one or more cameras, based on contrast enhancement for night images, and based on low resolution traffic light candidate identification followed by high resolution candidate analysis. Additionally, the systems and methods may navigation based on a worst time to red estimation.

A vehicle computer system includes a display and a processor in communication with the display. The processor is programmed to output a user interface that includes a map portion on the display, wherein the map portion includes map images indicative of at least road geometry and street names, and output on the user interface a route guidance portion including one or more guidance routes indicative of a programmed route to a destination. The processor is also further programmed to output a maneuver portion indicative of an upcoming maneuver associated with the programmed route, wherein the maneuver portion includes a maneuvering street sign image indicative of an upcoming street associated with the upcoming maneuver, wherein the maneuvering street sign image is programmed to flash at a predetermined rate upon approaching the upcoming maneuver.
