A vehicle control system includes a vehicle estimator and a stop position setter. The vehicle estimator is configured to make determination on whether an entering vehicle entering an oncoming lane from an intersecting road is present, and estimate an overall length of the entering vehicle upon determining that the entering vehicle is present. The intersecting road intersects a traveling road where a vehicle to which the vehicle control system is applied is traveling. The stop position setter is configured to set a stop position of the vehicle based on the determination made by the vehicle estimator as to whether the entering vehicle is present and the estimated overall length of the entering vehicle.

A roadway condition monitoring system is configured to receive sensed data that is acquired by sensors that are mounted on vehicles that operate on a roadway. The sensed data includes values of parameters that characterize a roadway condition, including a pattern of travel of the vehicles along the roadway or a mapping of the roadway. A current roadway condition is calculated from the sensed data that is received during a current trip of the vehicles on a segment of the roadway, and the current roadway condition is compared with a nominal roadway condition. The calculation of the nominal roadway condition utilizes the sensed data that is received from the sensors during a plurality of trips of the vehicles on the segment. When an anomaly is detected in which the current roadway condition deviates from the nominal roadway condition, a notification of the detected anomaly is issued.

A method for adjusting a safety distance between a first vehicle and a second vehicle preceding the first vehicle at a bunched traffic site by at least one control device is disclosed which includes receiving measurement data of at least one sensor unit with the at least one control device. The method includes evaluating the measurement data of the at least one sensor unit with the at least one control device to identify a bunched traffic site in front of the second vehicle and identifying a safety distance of the first vehicle from the second vehicle, wherein the identified safety distance accounts for a possible reverse motion of the second vehicle.

The method includes: receiving positioning information of a vehicle; obtaining information about a road structure ahead of the vehicle based on the positioning information; and determining, based on the information about the road structure, whether an alarm for a sharp bend is needed. The disclosure further relates to a control device for driver assistance, a computer storage medium, and a vehicle.

A map construction method and a related apparatus are provided. The method includes: obtaining, based on manual driving track data and/or an obstacle grid map, road information, intersection information, and lane information of a region through which a vehicle has traveled; obtaining road traffic direction information based on the manual driving track data and the road information, and obtaining lane traffic direction information based on the lane information and the road traffic direction information; obtaining intersection entry and exit point information based on the intersection information and the lane traffic direction information; and performing, based on the intersection entry and exit point information, an operation of generating a virtual topology center line to obtain an autonomous driving map of the region through which the vehicle has traveled, where the virtual topology center line is a traveling boundary line of the vehicle in an intersection region.

A method for the performance-enhancing driver assistance of a road vehicle driven by a driver and provided with at least two drive wheels driven by at least one electric motor connected to a corresponding vehicular battery pack; the method comprises the steps of defining a dynamic model of the road vehicle; determining a route of a track travelled by the road vehicle; calculating, as a function of the dynamic model of the road vehicle and of the route, a convenience index relative to the use of energy of the vehicular battery pack by the electric motor; subdividing the route (R) into a plurality of sectors assigning to each a relative value of the calculated convenience index; delivering electrical power to the drive wheels according to the value of the convenience index assigned to each sector of the route.

Systems, devices, computer-implemented methods, and/or computer program products that facilitate dynamic curve speed control adaptive to road conditions. In one example, a system can comprise a process that executes computer executable components stored in memory. The computer executable components can comprise a curvature component, a road condition component, and a safety component. The curvature component can generate composite curvature data for a curve of a road preceding a vehicle using digital map data and lane marker data. The road condition component can generate friction data for a surface of the road using sensor data obtained from an on-board sensor of the vehicle. The safety component can determine a safe operational profile for traversing the curve using the composite curvature data and the friction data.
