Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to a method for controlling a vehicle based on crowdsourcing data. According to the method, the vehicle transmits a route request to a server, receive navigation information in response to the route request, controls an operation of the vehicle based on the transmitted navigation information, collects vehicle driving data, during driving according to the transmitted navigation information, transmits the collected data to the server, receives generated crowdsourcing data, updates the transmitted navigation information based on the received crowdsourcing data, and controls the operation of the vehicle based on the updated navigation information.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A vehicle that enables information on climb-over/touch on an obstacle to be utilized in lengthening the lives of tires and a vehicle body and maintenance such as replacement/repair is provided. The vehicle includes: a vehicle body 1a running on tires; an environmental recognition device 2 detecting any obstacle ahead of the vehicle body 1a; a touch determination section 4 determining touch on a tire; and a storage section 4a recording information on an obstacle touched/climbed over. The storage section 4a records information on an obstacle determined to have been touched by the touch determination section 4.

Ein Verfahrensaspekt der Technik umfasst den Schritt des Bestimmens von Parametern eines zukünftigen Intervallbetriebs der Längsführung des Nutzfahrzeugs in Kommunikation mit einem im Fahrzeugverband vorausfahrenden und/oder nachfahrenden, ebenfalls in einem Intervallbetrieb angetriebenen Fahrzeug; und den Schritt des Längsführens des Nutzfahrzeugs im Intervallbetrieb auf Grundlage der bestimmten Parameter des Nutzfahrzeugs.
Abstract:
A method for autonomously parking a motor vehicle (12) in various types of parking spots includes the steps of receiving a map of a parking area (30), locating the motor vehicle (12) within the parking area (30), selecting a parking spot within the parking area (30), generating a node tree from the location of the motor vehicle (12) to the parking spot, selecting a path (61) from the node tree, wherein the path (61) connects the location of the motor vehicle (12) to the parking spot, autonomously driving the motor vehicle (12) along the path from the location of the motor vehicle (12) to an intermediate location on the path (61), and performing a parking maneuver into the parking spot from the intermediate location. The parking maneuver may be a head-in, tail-in, or parallel parking maneuver.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for generating 3D-maps for acquiring three-dimensional (3D) maps are presented. The method includes analyzing at least one image acquired by a passive sensor to identify a plurality of objects in the at least one image; classifying the plurality of objects; determining, based on the classification, whether to passively measure a distance to each of the plurality of objects; passively measuring the distance to at least one of the plurality of objects based on the determination; actively measuring a distance to some of the plurality of objects, wherein the distance to one of the same of the plurality of objects is actively measured when the distance to the object cannot be passively measured; and generating a 3D map of a scene based on the distance measured to each of the plurality of objects.
Abstract:
An operator-evaluation system (10) for an automated vehicle includes a traffic-detector (16) and a controller (40). The traffic-detector (16) is used to determine a complexity-ranking (42) of a traffic-scenario (44) approached by a host-vehicle (12). The controller (40) is in communication with the traffic-detector (16) and is configured to operate the host-vehicle (12) in: an automated-mode (54) where the controller (40) steers the host-vehicle (12) toward a desired-position (56) of a travel-lane (58); a monitored-mode (64) where an operator (14) steers the host-vehicle (12) and the controller (40) assists the operator (14) to steer the host-vehicle (12) toward the desired-position (56) when the host-vehicle (12) is farther than a lateral-threshold (66) from the desired-position (56); and a manual-mode (62) where the operator (14) steers the host-vehicle (12) without assistance from the controller (40). The controller (40) transitions from the automated-mode (54) to the monitored-mode (64) prior to arrival at the traffic-scenario (44) to determine a skill-ranking (68) of the operator (14) relative to the complexity-ranking (42), and transitions from the automated-mode (54) to the manual-mode (62) when the complexity-ranking (42) is less than the skill-ranking (68) of the operator (14).
Abstract:
Provided are a driving control method and device in which an actual driving operation is performed after vehicles communicate with each other regarding a safety check by vehicle-to-vehicle communication in advance, thereby making it possible to smoothly and safely change lanes or merge when a vehicle is changing lanes or merging by automatic driving. The driving control device is provided with: a sensor unit that detects vehicles around a vehicle; a vehicle-mounted communication device that transmits and receives information including an identification number and position information to/from vehicle-mounted communication devices that are mounted to the vehicles around the vehicle and maintains said information as a table; a travel determination unit for determining travel control for the vehicle on the basis of the detection result of the sensor unit and the table maintained by the vehicle-mounted communication device; and a travel control unit that controls the travel of the vehicle on the basis of the result determined by the travel determination unit. The driving control device is characterized in that when the vehicle is changing lanes, the travel determination unit identifies a following linearly traveling vehicle in the lane that is the lane change destination from the detection result of the sensor unit and selects the identification number of the following linearly traveling vehicle from the table maintained by the vehicle-mounted communication device, and the vehicle-mounted communication device uses the identification number to transmit information requesting a lane change to the following linearly traveling vehicle in unicast format.
