A hybrid deterministic override to cloud based probabilistic advanced driver assistance systems. Under default driving conditions, an ego vehicle is controlled by a probabilistic controller in a cloud. An overall gap between the ego vehicle and a leading vehicle is divided into an emergency collision gap and a driver specified gap. The vehicle sensors monitor the overall gap. When the gap between the ego vehicle and the leading vehicle is less than or equal to the emergency collision gap, a deterministic controller of the ego vehicle overrides the cloud based probabilistic controller to control the braking and acceleration of the ego vehicle.

An example operation includes one or more of receiving, by a server, data related to an environment associated with a target transport, analyzing, by the server, the data to determine if at least one adverse condition related to the environment exists, and responsive to existence of the at least one adverse condition, sending, by the server, a recommendation related to operation of the target transport in a safe mode to overcome the at least one adverse condition to the target transport.

Techniques are provided for autonomous vehicle operation using linear temporal logic. The techniques include using one or more processors of a vehicle to store a linear temporal logic expression defining an operating constraint for operating the vehicle. The vehicle is located at a first spatiotemporal location. The one or more processors are used to receive a second spatiotemporal location for the vehicle. The one or more processors are used to identify a motion segment for operating the vehicle from the first spatiotemporal location to the second spatiotemporal location. The one or more processors are used to determine a value of the linear temporal logic expression based on the motion segment. The one or more processors are used to generate an operational metric for operating the vehicle in accordance with the motion segment based on the determined value of the linear temporal logic expression.

A method for steering a vehicle along a path in a driveway and around obstacles between a starting position into a target position, comprises the steps of determining the vehicle dimensions, steering and driving capabilities, carrying out a path optimization step to evaluate, based on a predetermined cost function, the least costly path between the starting position and the target position avoiding any collisions with obstacles. The method further comprises the further step of applying a path improver step, smoothening the trajectory obtained by the path optimization method by means of numerical optimization while fulfilling dynamical constraints on acceleration and steering rate of the vehicle through planning lateral and longitudinal movement of the vehicle in a joint optimization problem or by means of separate optimization problems.

The invention relates to a method for adjusting fully automatic vehicle guidance functions, which are realized by means of a vehicle system of a motor vehicle, during the operation of the motor vehicles in a predefined navigation environment. A stationary infrastructure device that communicates with the motor vehicles is associated with the navigation environment. Function limits of each vehicle guidance function are defined by means of limit operation parameters of the vehicle guidance function. Current traffic situation information describing dynamic objects in the navigation environment is determined by the infrastructure device by means of environment sensors of the navigation environment. The current traffic situation information is used, together with a digital map describing stationary objects and properties of the navigation environment, to determine at least one piece of risk information for each motor vehicle.

System for automatically recognising anomalous situations along roads travelled by motor-vehicles for intelligent motor-vehicle driving speed control along roads.

The motor-vehicles are configured to transmit data allowing anomalous situations to be recognised along roads travelled by the motor-vehicles.

The system comprises data processing resources configured to:

receive and process data transmitted by the motor-vehicles to recognise anomalous situations along the roads travelled by the motor-vehicles based on a recognition algorithm,

when anomalous situations are recognised along roads travelled by the motor-vehicles, generate associated alert events and compute reference driving speeds along the roads recognised to be affected by anomalous situations, and

transmit data representative of the alert events and of the reference driving speeds along the roads recognised to be affected by anomalous situations.

The motor-vehicles are further configured to:

receive data representative of alert events and reference driving speeds, and

use the received data to implement one or both of the following actions: inform the drivers of motor-vehicles, through automotive user interfaces of motor-vehicles of the anomalous situations recognised along roads travelled by motor-vehicles, and cause current driving speeds of the motor-vehicles to be adjusted to the reference driving speeds along roads recognised to be affected by anomalous situations.

A system for recording event data of an autonomous vehicle is disclosed. The present disclosure suggests an EDR system operation scheme suitable for properly investigating the cause of a vehicle accident. Subsystems of an autonomous driving control system may determine whether an event satisfying a preconfigured condition has occurred, and send to an EDR system a trigger signal to trigger recording of data elements related to the event when the occurrence of the event is detected. The EDR system may record data elements that are useful to reconstruct a map of an external environment surrounding an autonomous vehicle at the time of the occurrence of the event or to reconstruct an internal environment of the vehicle.

The present invention is to obtain a control device and a control method capable of appropriately assisting driving of a straddle-type vehicle by a rider.

In a control device (12) and a control method of the present invention, an acquisition section of the control device (12) configured to control an operation of a straddle-type vehicle (10) acquires prediction information about a future lane change by a preceding vehicle that travels ahead of the straddle-type vehicle (10), and a control section of the control device (12) causes the straddle-type vehicle (10) to execute a safety operation (for example, causes a notification device (15) to issue a warning of the lane change to the rider), when the prediction information satisfies a determination criterion during a slipping-through traveling of the straddle-type vehicle (10).
