A driving assistance apparatus assists a driver of a vehicle by performing a deceleration control to decelerate the vehicle when the vehicle makes a right turn or a left turn at an intersection. The driving assistance apparatus is configured to make a magnitude of a deceleration of a vehicle while performing a deceleration control of when a left-or-right-turn-condition is not satisfied smaller than a magnitude of a deceleration of the vehicle while performing the deceleration control of when the left-or-right-turn-condition is satisfied, in a case where a distance between the vehicle and the intersection is equal to or shorter than a distance threshold and the vehicle is predicted to change a moving direction to a particular direction, the left-or-right-turn-condition being a condition that is satisfied when the vehicle is permitted to change the moving direction to the particular direction in/from a traveling lane in which the vehicle is running.

System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to resolving a standoff by a vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes generating a happens-before relationship that explains events between the vehicle and other vehicles before the standoff. The standoff may be a dispute for a right of way between the vehicle and the other vehicles. The method also includes identifying the standoff using a causality relationship analysis according to the happens-before relationship. The method also includes generating a mitigation plan for the standoff that forms standoff solutions in association with the standoff being similar to a prior standoff. The method also includes resolving the standoff by causing vehicle maneuvers associated with the vehicle according to the standoff solutions.

A traffic safety control method is provided. The method includes obtaining first related information of a road when a vehicle is traveling on a road. Second related information is detected using a detecting device of the vehicle when the first related information indicates that there is the intersection in front of the vehicle on the road. The vehicle is controlled according to the first related information and the second related information.

A driving support method supports driving of a host-vehicle in a traveling scene in which a host-vehicle track on which the host-vehicle travels and a first other vehicle track on which a first other vehicle travels intersect with each other at an intersecting point. Whether the host-vehicle can enter the intersecting point is determined based on a shielding time during which a second other vehicle shields the first other vehicle track to the intersecting point and a required entry time from when the host-vehicle starts entering the intersecting point to when the host-vehicle finishes entering the intersecting point.

The disclosure provides a method for operating an autonomous vehicle. To operate the autonomous vehicle, a plurality of lane segments that are in an environment of the autonomous vehicle is determined and a first object and a second object in the environment are detected. A first position for the first object is determined in relation to the plurality of lane segments, and particular lane segments that are occluded by the first object are determined using the first position. According to the occluded lane segments, a reaction time is determined for the second object and a driving instruction for the autonomous vehicle is determined according to the reaction time. The autonomous vehicle is then operated based on the driving instruction.

A method for platooning vehicles to pass by an intersection, includes obtaining, by a first vehicle controlling driving of a forward platoon, signal information of the intersection; determining, by the first vehicle, vehicle ranks of the forward platoon to pass by the intersection together based on the signal information; and determining, by the first vehicle, a second vehicle to control another driving of a following platoon to be separated from the forward platoon, in response to determining that the vehicle ranks do not pass by the intersection together.

Vehicle controller circuitry for a subject vehicle to determine vehicle constraints including predicted values for vehicle speed of at least one other vehicle and predicted values of for vehicle position of the at least one other vehicle relative to the subject vehicle, wherein the vehicle constraints are determined at predetermined time steps (k) over a time horizon (Th).

A control method and a control device are provided for autonomously controlling a host vehicle when turning across an oncoming lane at an intersection with a signal light being green. A determination is made as to whether or not the host vehicle can make a right or left turn while a signal light is still green at a time of the right or left turn, either while the host vehicle in the left lane is waiting in a row of vehicles to make the right turn or while the host vehicle traveling in the right lane is waiting in a row of vehicles to make the left turn at an intersection during travel under autonomous driving. The host vehicle then creeps forward to a start position for starting at a next time the signal light is green upon determining the right or left turn cannot be made.

Techniques are provided which may be implemented using various methods and/or apparatuses in a vehicle to utilize vehicle external sensor data, vehicle internal sensor data, vehicle capabilities and external CV2X input to determine, send, receive and utilize data elements to determine inter-vehicle spacing, intersection priority, lane change behavior and spacing and other autonomous vehicle behavior.

An apparatus for controlling a vehicle includes a memory, a network interface, and a processor that determines whether the vehicle is in a bypass situation in which the vehicle has to bypass, calculates a plurality of bypass paths capable of replacing a previously set travel path in the bypass situation, evaluates the plurality of bypass paths, selects one bypass path based on the evaluation of the plurality of bypass paths, and performs control on the vehicle such that the vehicle travels along the selected bypass path.
