Systems and methods for navigating a vehicle among encroaching vehicles
Systems and methods use cameras to provide autonomous navigation features. In one implementation, a method for navigating a user vehicle may include acquiring, using at least one image capture device, a plurality of images of an area in a vicinity of the user vehicle; determining from the plurality of images a first lane constraint on a first side of the user vehicle and a second lane constraint on a second side of the user vehicle opposite to the first side of the user vehicle; enabling the user vehicle to pass a target vehicle if the target vehicle is determined to be in a lane different from the lane in which the user vehicle is traveling; and causing the user vehicle to abort the pass before completion of the pass, if the target vehicle is determined to be entering the lane in which the user vehicle is traveling.

PATH-CONTROLLING MODULE, ASSOCIATED PATH-CONTROLLING DEVICE AND ASSOCIATED METHOD
A motor-vehicle path-controlling module is arranged to model the path of the vehicle during a change in traffic lane by a Bezier curve relating a value of a parameter to a value of a lateral deviation of the vehicle from the center of a traffic lane and to a value of a time-dependent variable representative of the variation in the change of path; determine a setpoint state vector of a closed feedback loop of a path-controlling device, the loop being designed to control the motor vehicle so that it follows the path modelled by the Bezier curve, the vector being determined on the basis of the lateral deviation, of the time-dependent variable and of the parameter, and transmit the setpoint state vector to the input of the loop.
REVERSE DIRECTION TRAVELING DETECTION APPARATUS AND REVERSE DIRECTION TRAVELING DETECTION METHOD
A reverse direction traveling detection apparatus including a microprocessor. The microprocessor is configured to perform acquiring an actually measured road surface profile of a road surface on which a vehicle is traveling, determining a travel direction of the vehicle based on position information of the vehicle, further determining whether a coincidence degree between the actually measured road surface profile and a first reference road surface profile in a first lane is equal to or greater than a predetermined value when it is determined that the travel direction of the vehicle is a first direction, and determining whether the vehicle travels in reverse direction based on the actually measured road surface profile and a second reference road surface profile in a second lane when it is determined that the coincidence degree is less than the predetermined value.
Lane detection and tracking techniques for imaging systems
A method for tracking a lane on a road is presented. The method comprises receiving, by one or more processors from an imaging system, a set of pixels associated with lane markings. The method further includes generating, by the one or more processors, a predicted spline comprising (i) a first spline and (ii) a predicted extension of the first spline in a direction in which the imaging system is moving. The first spline describes a boundary of a lane and is generated based on the set of pixels. The predicted extension of the first spline is generated based at least in part on a curvature of at least a portion of the first spline.
