An acquisition unit (110) acquires attribute information of a moving object, entry-exit information, and target position information. The entry-exit information is for specifying an entry position to an intersection and an exit position from the intersection. The attribute information of the moving object is information regarding the moving object. The target position information is information indicating a target position located in the intersection. The target position indicates a position at least near which a route of the moving object is to pass. A determination rule setting unit (120) sets a rule used when the route is determined, by using the attribute information of the moving object. A route setting unit (130) sets the above-described route using the rule set by the determination rule setting unit (120), and the entry-exit information and the target position information acquired by the acquisition unit (110).

Vehicle control device

Provided is a vehicle control device which, when traffic participants are waiting in the vicinity of a railroad crossing for a train to pass, appropriately controls driving of a vehicle about to pass through the railroad crossing. Entry of the vehicle into the railroad crossing is restrained until a waiting time elapses since when the railroad crossing transitioned from a passage blocking state to a passage allowing state, the waiting time being set in accordance with the kind or the number of the traffic participants present in the vicinity of the railroad crossing. When the waiting time has elapsed, the vehicle is caused to enter the railroad crossing and pass (through) the railroad crossing.

SMART NODE NETWORK FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE PERCEPTION AUGMENTATION
20220017115 · 2022-01-20 ·

A system provides to a vehicle approaching an intersection information about objects of interest that are in a vicinity of the intersection. The system includes a remote server system that receives, from each node of a network of nodes at various intersections, augmented perception data (APD) representing a set of objects of interest that are proximate the intersection the node is located. The APD is extracted from images captured by a node vision system. The remote server system receives a query from the vehicle for APD associated with an imminent path of a planned route of the vehicle. The remote server system searches for resultant APD associated with the path and communicates the resultant APD to the vehicle. The objects of interest associated with an imminent intersection and objects of interest captured by the vehicle are fused together to control navigation of the vehicle through the imminent intersection.

Method for assisting a driver, driver assistance system, and vehicle including such driver assistance system

The present invention relates to a method for use in a driver assistance system of an ego-vehicle. The method supports driving of the ego-vehicle and comprises the steps of retrieving a priority relationship between the ego-vehicle and at least one traffic participant involved in a traffic situation; selecting a prediction model for the at least one traffic participant depending on the priority relationship; predicting at last one hypothetical future trajectory for the ego-vehicle and, based on the selected prediction model, at last one hypothetical future trajectory for the at least one traffic participant; and calculating a behavior relevant score for ego-vehicle based on the calculated hypothetical future trajectories.

A vehicle control device (100) includes a recognizer (130) that recognizes a situation occurring near an own-vehicle, and a driving controller (140, 160) that controls acceleration/deceleration and steering of the own-vehicle on the basis of a result of the recognition of the recognizer. When performing travel control according to a behavior of a preceding vehicle that is traveling in front of the own-vehicle such that the own-vehicle follows the preceding vehicle to pass through an intersection, the driving controller does not perform following of the preceding vehicle if a turning start point of the preceding vehicle does not match a turning start point in a route predicted for the own-vehicle to pass through the intersection in a scheduled direction or if a turning angle of the preceding vehicle does not match a turning angle in the predicted route.

An environmental safety system may include first sensors each located at a predetermined physical location of a physical location and with a predetermined orientation. The system may receive first sensor data captured by the plurality of first sensors. The system may also determine values of parameters of an object within a threshold distance of the physical location using the first sensor data. The values of the parameters of the object may be transmitted to a vehicle approaching the physical location. The vehicle may receive second sensor data captured by second sensors in the vehicle. An optimized navigation of the vehicle approaching the physical location may be determined based on the values of the parameters of the object and the second sensor data. A driving action may be provided to the vehicle based on the optimized navigation of the vehicle.

METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN AUTOMATED VEHICLE

A method for controlling an automated vehicle when driving into a crossing of equal-ranking roads involves the vehicle granting grants the further vehicles right of way at least for a pre-determined waiting time. The vehicle determines, according to a pre-determined arbitration rule, whether it should have priority over the further vehicles for passing through the crossing. After the waiting time has passed, the vehicle begins a crossing traversal maneuver to traverse the crossing if it is determined that it should have priority for passing through the crossing and if none of the further vehicles has driven on in the interim.
