A cruise control method and system, and a vehicle, the method being applied to a first vehicle. When the first vehicle is driving in a first lane, before the first vehicle enters from the first lane into a preset recognition region to thereby complete vehicle identity recognition in the preset recognition region, the cut-in probability of a second vehicle cutting into the first lane can be predicted according to a movement parameter of the second vehicle that is in an adjacent second lane, and it is determined, according to the cut-in probability and the stopping time of the first vehicle, whether to brake to stop the first vehicle; therefore, during the process of controlling the first vehicle to pass through the preset recognition region, the driver is not required to temporarily take over control of the first vehicle.

The present invention obtains a control system, a controller, and a control method capable of appropriately controlling body behavior of plural motorcycles that travel in group.

In a control system (1), a controller (12), and a control method according to the present invention, in plural motorcycles (10) to each of which an environment sensor (11) and the controller (12) are mounted and in each of which a control mode for controlling body behavior is executed by the controller (12) on the basis of output of the environment sensor (11), a first controller that is mounted to a first motorcycle of the plural motorcycles (10) transmits acquired information that is acquired during execution of the control mode to a second controller that is mounted to a second motorcycle other than the first motorcycle of the plural motorcycles (10), and the second controller receives the acquired information and executes the control mode on the basis of the acquired information.

A vehicle control device that autonomously controls a vehicle so as not to cause rapid deceleration that leads to a deterioration in ride quality. The vehicle control device controls first and second deceleration, means that reduce a speed at a deceleration rate large than a deceleration rate of the first deceleration means. The vehicle control device includes a blind spot area detecting unit that detects a blind spot area of a sensor that recognizes an external environment, and a blind spot object estimating unit that estimates a blind spot object that is a virtual moving body hidden in the blind spot area. When a vehicle approaches the blind spot area at a speed reduced by the first deceleration means, the vehicle is decelerated by the second deceleration means when a type of a moving body detected by the sensor is different from a type of the blind spot object.

A system for user interaction with an automated device includes a control system configured to operate the device during an operating mode corresponding to a first state in which the control system automatically controls the device operation, and the operating mode prescribes that a user monitor the device operation during automated control. The control system is configured to allocate a time period for the device to transition to a temporary state in which automated control is maintained and the user is permitted to stop monitoring and perform a task unrelated to device operation. The system includes a user interaction system including a visual display configured to present trajectory information, an indication as to whether an area is conducive to putting the device in the temporary state, and time period allocation information, the user interaction system including an interface engageable by the user to manage scheduling of allocated time period(s).

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for controlling a vehicle, and, particularly, an apparatus and a method for controlling a vehicle capable of preventing a collision accident in advance by expanding a detection area of a vehicle by monitoring a lower end of a parked/stopped vehicle by adjusting a rotation angle of a sensor attached to the lower end of the vehicle on a front side and predicting a situation having a risk for a collision that may occur due to a blind spot in advance can be provided.

There is provided a method for preventing car collision, the method comprising: obtaining information about a vehicle stopped in front of a preceding vehicle acquired by the preceding vehicle; calculating a deceleration amount for preventing a collision with the stopped vehicle based on the information about the stopped vehicle; predicting a preset event related to the preceding vehicle based on a change in the position of the preceding vehicle; and controlling an autonomous driving vehicle based on the deceleration amount according to a prediction result.

A driving support system includes: an information acquisition unit configured to acquire traveling characteristic information on a vehicle; a storage unit in which a dynamic map is stored, the dynamic map being a map in which static base map information, dynamic environmental information, and the traveling characteristic information acquired by the information acquisition unit are associated with each other; a collision determination unit configured to determine whether or not there is a possibility that the vehicle has a collision, based on the dynamic map stored in the storage unit; and a control unit configured to, in a case where the collision determination unit determines that there is a possibility that the vehicle has a collision, control the vehicle such that the vehicle avoids the collision.

Systems and methods are provided for vehicle navigation. In one implementation, a system may comprise at least one processor. The processor may be programmed to receive images representative of an environment of the host vehicle and analyze the images to identify a first object and a second object. The processor may determine a first predefined navigational constraint implicated by the first object and a second predefined navigational constraint implicated by the second object, wherein the first and second predefined navigational constraints cannot both be satisfied, and the second predefined navigational constraint has a priority higher than the first predefined navigational constraint. The processor may determine a navigational action for the host vehicle satisfying the second predefined navigational constraint, but not satisfying the first predefined navigational constraint and, cause an adjustment of a navigational actuator of the host vehicle in response to the determined navigational action.

The present invention is directed to a Spatiotemporal scene-graph embedding methodology that models scene-graphs and resolves safety-focused tasks for autonomous vehicles. The present invention features a computing system comprising instructions for accepting the one or more images, extracting one or more objects from each image, computing an inverse-perspective mapping transformation of the image to generate a bird's-eye view (BEV) representation of each image, calculating relations between each object for each image, and generating a scene-graph for each image based on the aforementioned calculations. The system may further comprise instructions for calculating a confidence value for whether or not a collision will occur through the generation of a spatio-temporal graph embedding based on a spatial graph embedding and a temporal model.

A driving assist device includes a driving assist controller. The driving assist controller is configured to perform driving assistance when the vehicle changes a course by crossing the oncoming lane. The driving assist controller sets a predicted travel region based on behavior of the oncoming vehicle when the oncoming vehicle is approaching the vehicle that enters an intersection. When the vehicle enters the predicted travel region in a travel path of the vehicle, the driving assist controller determines whether there is a possibility of contact between the vehicle and the oncoming vehicle based on the predicted travel region and the travel path of the vehicle. The driving assist controller causes the vehicle to stop outside of the predicted travel region when there is a possibility of the contact.
