Technologies and techniques for carrying out an assisted lane change onto a deceleration lane, during which an intervention in an acceleration device may be carried out in an at least partially assisted manner as a function of a driver input on a driving lane of the roadway. The lane change from the driving lane onto the deceleration lane may be carried out in an at least partially assisted manner, wherein swarm data are received from at least one further motor vehicle, which carried out a lane change onto the deceleration lane at a crossing, and a change position for the lane change of the motor vehicle is determined as a function of the received crossing position. The lane change is carried out at the determined change position. Other aspects relate to a computer program product and to an assistance system.

A method that includes obtaining vehicle sensed environment information by at least one sensor of a vehicle; determining, by an initial location estimate module of the vehicle, an initial location estimate of the vehicle; obtaining, by processor of the vehicle, aerial map segment information related to a segment of an aerial map, the segment comprises an environment of the initial location estimate of the vehicle; determining, based on the vehicle sensed information and on the aerial map segment information, to perform the driving related operation within at least the environment of the initial location estimate of the vehicle; and performing the driving related operation.

A data processing system for navigation using-spread spectrum signals herein implements causing a transceiver of the data processing system to transmit a first electromagnetic signal; receiving, via the transceiver, second electromagnetic signals associated with a first object responsive to the first electromagnetic signal, the second electromagnetic signals including first spread-spectrum signals and an identification of the first object incorporated into the first spread-spectrum signals, each respective second electromagnetic signal of the second electromagnetic signals being transmitted from a separate location on the first object; analyzing the second electromagnetic signals to obtain the identification of the first object; and determining a first estimated location of the data processing system relative to the first object by calculating a difference between the time of transmission of the first electromagnetic signal and a respective time of receipt of each of the second electromagnetic signals.

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.

A remote parking apparatus comprises an electronic control unit which executes a remote parking control to move an own vehicle and park the own vehicle in a designated parking space in response to receiving a signal transmitted wirelessly from an operation terminal. The electronic control unit is configured to set a parking space as the designated parking space even when there is an obstacle interrupting parking the own vehicle in the parking space.

A vehicle includes a transceiver configured to communicate with a server; and a controller programmed to responsive to detecting a first trip pattern of the vehicle, create a first geofence associated with the first trip pattern, wherein the first geofence includes a geographic character and a temporal character, send the first geofence to the server, and responsive to receiving, from the server, a first message indicative of the first geofence being in common with a second geofence associated with an entity, establish a connection with the entity via the transceiver.

A computer includes a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to receive data indicating that an electric vehicle is in an enclosed space; in response to receiving the data, instruct window actuators of the electric vehicle to open windows of the electric vehicle; and in response to receiving the data, instruct a heater of the electric vehicle to generate heat.

A vehicle includes a navigation device, a sensor device, and a control device configured to identify an entry of the vehicle into a predetermined section of a road through the navigation device. In particular, the control device may identify at least one of a curvature of the road, a speed of the vehicle, or an acceleration of the vehicle through the sensor device in response to the entry of the vehicle into the predetermined section, and perform a lateral control of the vehicle based on at least one of the curvature of the road, the speed of the vehicle, or the acceleration of the vehicle.

An information processing apparatus acquires vehicle state information for each of a plurality of vehicles. The information processing apparatus estimates road surface state information of a road surface on which each of the vehicles has traveled, based on the acquired vehicle state information for each of the vehicles. The information processing apparatus estimates the road surface state information by inputting the acquired vehicle state information to a trained model that outputs the road surface state information in a case where the vehicle state information is input and that has been trained in advance based on training data in which the vehicle state information and the road surface state information are associated with each other.

Disclosed are an apparatus for controlling a vehicle, a system including the apparatus, and a method for controlling the apparatus. The apparatus includes: a reference lane calculator to calculate a reference lane based on a traveling condition of the vehicle; a target determining device to determine a target of interest based on the reference lane and a predicted path of an object around the vehicle; and a control parameter calculating device to calculate a control parameter of the vehicle based on a traveling state of the target of interest.
