A method includes receiving criteria data regarding a first control requirement frame for a first jurisdiction, a second control requirement frame for a second jurisdiction, and a third control requirement frame for a third jurisdiction. The criteria data for each control requirement frame includes at least: i. criteria data for an intoxicant concentration limit data subframe; ii. criteria data for a calibration requirement data subframe; and iii. criteria data for a reporting subframe. The method further includes storing the criteria data in a stringency database; sorting the first, second and third control requirement frames based on the relative stringency of criteria data, receiving a request for a compliance device according to the requirements of the first jurisdiction and the second jurisdiction; accessing the sorted control frames of the first and second jurisdictions to determine an operational control frame based on the sorted control frames; and providing the operation control frame.

A vehicle travel control apparatus includes an anomaly monitoring section for determining, through monitoring, whether or not a driver is in an anomalous state in which the driver has lost his or her ability to drive the vehicle, and a deceleration section for automatically stopping the vehicle by decelerating the vehicle after a final anomaly determined time which is a point in time when the anomaly monitoring section finally determines that the driver is in the anomalous state. The deceleration section prohibits deceleration of the vehicle in the case where the deceleration section determines that the vehicle is present in the deceleration prohibited section after the final anomaly determination time.

Method for acquiring transverse-position information of a motor vehicle (10) on a roadway (16), wherein radar data describing at least part of the roadway (16) are acquired by at least one radar sensor (1) of the motor vehicle (10), environmental features describing the location of a roadway boundary are detected and localized in the radar data by evaluation, from these, a course of the roadway boundaries of the roadway (16) and lateral distances (24) of the motor vehicle (10) with respect to the lane boundaries are determined, and the transverse-position information is determined as, or as a function of, the lateral distances (24) of the motor vehicle (10) from the roadway boundaries.

The invention disclosure relates to a method for determining a target trajectory for a motor vehicle operated in at least semi-automated fashion on a single-lane road with potential oncoming traffic by way of an assistance system. The method includes capturing surroundings of the motor vehicle with the single-lane road and with a lateral boundary marker of the single-lane road by way of a capture device of the assistance system; receiving swarm data about a trajectory that can potentially be taken on the single-lane road; determining the target trajectory by moving the trajectory that can potentially be taken by way of an electronic computing device of the assistance system in such a way that a predefined minimum distance from the lateral boundary marker is kept by way of the target trajectory. The disclosure also relates to a computer-readable medium and to an assistance system.

An autonomous vehicle (AV) includes features that allows the AV to comply with applicable regulations and statutes for performing safe driving operation. An example method includes detecting that a group of motorcycles is operating on a roadway on which the AV is located. The group of motorcycles are each located within a pre-determined distance away from one another. The method further includes determining an aggregate footprint area that surrounds respective locations of the group of motorcycles. The method further includes causing navigation of the autonomous vehicle that avoids penetration of the aggregate footprint area based on transmitting navigation instructions to one or more subsystems of the autonomous vehicle.

An electrified fire fighting vehicle includes a chassis, a cab coupled to the chassis, a body coupled to the chassis, a pump system, and a driveline. The driveline includes a front axle coupled to the chassis, a rear axle coupled to the chassis, an energy storage system, an engine coupled to the chassis, and an electromechanical device coupled to the chassis, the engine, and at least one of the front axle or the rear axle. The driveline is a dual drive driveline such that, during any and all modes of operation of the driveline, the electromechanical device is incapable of or prevented from charging the energy storage system at any time when driven by the engine.

A state of a vehicle, including a sensor for sensing another vehicle, is defined by determining a speed of the vehicle and determining the state in accordance with the sensing range of the sensor and the speed.

Techniques for improving safety margin perimeter profiles for use with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) functions are provided. An example method for activating an advanced driving assistance system (ADAS) function includes obtaining one or more operation parameters for a vehicle, computing an asymmetric safety margin perimeter profile around the vehicle based at least in part on the one or more operation parameters, and activating a safety function for the vehicle based at least in part on a location of an object relative to the asymmetric safety margin perimeter profile.

The present invention relates to a method of identifying the hand of traffic applicable to a subject vehicle (3). The subject vehicle (3) travels in a first direction and has a first side and a second side. The method comprises tracking at least a first object vehicle (V) on the first side of the subject vehicle (3), and/or detecting the presence or absence of at least a first stationary target (T) on the first side of the subject vehicle (3). A direction of travel of each first object vehicle (V) is determined in relation to the subject vehicle (3). The hand of traffic is identified based on the direction of travel of each first object vehicle (V), and/or the presence or absence of each first stationary target (T). The invention also relates to a method of implementing Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) using the hand of traffic information. The invention also relates to a control unit (1) for determining the hand of traffic.

Execution of control for first spot region of performing traveling by controlling an engine and a motor such that the electricity storage ratio of an electricity storage apparatus becomes smaller before a first spot region presumed or set as a spot or a region preferred to be reached in a state in which the electricity storage ratio of the electricity storage apparatus is small is prohibited when execution of control for second spot region of traveling by only a motive power from the motor by stopping the engine is presumed or planned within a predetermined distance range in a second spot region presumed or set as a spot or a region in which electrically-powered traveling of traveling by only the motive power from the motor by stopping the engine is set.
