An autonomous vehicle can obtain sensor data. Upon determining that the autonomous vehicle is in a lane adjacent a shoulder, and there is an object in the shoulder, the autonomous vehicle can determine if performing a lane change maneuver out of the lane prior to the autonomous vehicle being positioned adjacent to the object is feasible. If it is, the lane change maneuver can be performed. If it is not, a nudge maneuver and/or a deceleration can be performed.

A hydraulic excavator for performing cooperative work with another hydraulic excavator or a worker includes: a driving device that makes the hydraulic excavator operate; a cooperative function device that shares information about the hydraulic excavator with an inside and an outside of the hydraulic excavator; and a controller that controls the driving device that makes the hydraulic excavator operate, the controller, when there is an abnormality in the cooperative function device, controlling the driving device so as to limit operation of the hydraulic excavator, and when the hydraulic excavator is performing the cooperative work, controlling the driving device so as to make a degree of limitation on the operation of the hydraulic excavator stronger than when the hydraulic excavator is not performing the cooperative work. It is thereby possible to suppress an unnecessary decrease in work efficiency by suppressing an excessive operation limitation on the hydraulic excavator.

A getting-off support device of a vehicle continues to issue an alarm for a predetermined time when a physical body condition indicating that a physical body that obstructs getting-off of an occupant in the vehicle exists around the vehicle and a getting-off condition indicating that the occupant in the vehicle intends to get off the vehicle are satisfied, and prolongs the time of issuing the alarm when both of the physical body condition and the getting-off condition are further satisfied while the issuing of the alarm is continued.

A controlling and warning system based on traffic conditions feedback and a method thereof are disclosed. In the controlling and warning system, a camera disposed on a rear of a vehicle body is configured to generate and transmit a rear video to a controlling host, and the controlling host identifies a vehicle object in the rear video and calculates a separation distance between the vehicle object and the vehicle body; the vehicle object is inputted into a large-sized vehicle recognition model which is built based on artificial intelligence neural network and trained completely, to recognize whether the vehicle object is a large-sized vehicle; when the vehicle object is recognized as the large-sized vehicle and the separation distance reaches to a safe distance, a warning signal is generated. Therefore, the technical effect of improving the warning immediacy of an approaching large vehicle can be achieved.

An advanced driver assistance system is provided. The advanced driver assistance system of the vehicle comprises a communicator configured to communicate with an obstacle detector configured to detect an obstacle; and a processor configured to determine a riding intention of a user in response to reception of a door unlocking instruction, obtain location information of other vehicles based on obstacle information detected by the obstacle detector in response to determining that the riding intention exists, determine a collision possibility with other vehicles based on the location information of other vehicles, and control output of notification information for a collision in response to determining that the collision possibility exists.

Provided herein is a system and method of a vehicle that communicates an intended action of the vehicle. The system comprises one or more sensors; one or more processors; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the system to perform capturing data from the one or more sensors of another vehicle or a road condition; determining an intended action of the vehicle based on the captured data; simulating the intended action of the vehicle on a map; communicating, within the vehicle, the intended action of the vehicle; and navigating the vehicle based on the intended action of the vehicle.

Systems, apparatus and methods may be configured to implement actively-controlled light emission from a robotic vehicle. A light emitter(s) of the robotic vehicle may be configurable to indicate a direction of travel of the robotic vehicle and/or display information (e.g., a greeting, a notice, a message, a graphic, passenger/customer/client content, vehicle livery, customized livery) using one or more colors of emitted light (e.g., orange for a first direction and purple for a second direction), one or more sequences of emitted light (e.g., a moving image/graphic), or positions of light emitter(s) on the robotic vehicle (e.g., symmetrically positioned light emitters). The robotic vehicle may not have a front or a back (e.g., a trunk/a hood) and may be configured to travel bi-directionally, in a first direction or a second direction (e.g., opposite the first direction), with the direction of travel being indicated by one or more of the light emitters.

Systems, apparatus and methods implemented in algorithms, software, firmware, logic, or circuitry may be configured to process data and sensory input to determine whether an object external to an autonomous vehicle (e.g., another vehicle, a pedestrian, a bicyclist, etc.) may be a potential collision threat to the autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle may include a light emitter positioned external to a surface of the autonomous vehicle and being configured to implement a visual alert by emitting light from the light emitter. Data representing a light pattern may be received by the light emitter and the light emitted by the display may be indicative of the light pattern. The light pattern may be selected to gain the attention of the object (e.g., a pedestrian, a driver of a car, a bicyclists, etc.) in order to avoid the potential collision or to alert the object to the presence of the autonomous vehicle.

An interactive vehicle safety system having capabilities to improve peripheral vision, provide warning, and improve reaction time for operators of vehicles. For example, the interactive vehicle safety system may have capabilities for portraying objects, which are being blocked by any of the structural pillars and/or mirrors of a vehicle (such as a truck, van, train, etc.). The interactive vehicle safety system disclosed may comprise one or more image capturing devices (such as camera, sensor, laser), distance and object sensors (such as ultrasonic sensor, LIDAR radar sensor, photoelectric sensor, and infrared sensor), a real-time image processing of an object, and one or more display systems (such as LCD or LED displays). The interactive vehicle safety system may give a seamless 360-degree front panoramic view to a driver.

A worksite classification system and method for classifying persons at a worksite is disclosed. The worksite classification system can include a sensor system configured to capture images of persons located at the worksite. An electronic data processor communicatively coupled to the sensor system and comprising a computer readable storage medium having machine readable instructions that, when executed by the electronic data processor, cause the processor to: determine an identity of the persons based on one or more identifying characteristics associated with the persons; determine if the persons have authorization access to enter to one or more operational zones at the worksite based on the identity of the persons and an associated access level; and generate an alert notifying an operator when persons without authorization access enters the one or more operational zones.
