    Abstract: A cross traffic detection system suitable for use on an automated vehicle includes an object-detector, an alert-device, and a controller. The object detector is used to determine locations of moving objects relative to a host vehicle. The alert device is used to alert an operator of the host vehicle to the location of the moving objects. The controller is in communication with the object detector and the alert device. The controller determines a first trail of a first moving object based on the locations of the first moving object, and determines a road model based on a polynomial of the first trail. The controller also determines a second trail of a second moving object, assigns a lane number to the second moving object based on the road model, and activates the alert device when the path of the second moving object resides in the lane-number overlain by a conflict zone.

    Abstract: A lane-changing system suitable for use on an automated host-vehicle includes a camera, an inertial-measurement-unit, and a controller. The camera detects a lane-marking of a roadway traveled by a host-host-vehicle. The inertial-measurement-unit determines relative-motion of the host-host-vehicle. The controller is in communication with the camera and the inertial-measurement-unit. While the lane-marking is detected the controller steers the host-host-vehicle towards a centerline of an adjacent-lane of the roadway based on a last-position and a current-vector, and determines an offset-vector indicative of motion of the host-host-vehicle relative to the current-vector. While the lane-marking is not detected the controller determines an offset-position relative to the last-position based on information from the inertial-measurement-unit, determines a correction-vector used to steer the host-host-vehicle from the offset-position towards the centerline of the adjacent-lane of the roadway based on the last-position and the offset-vector, and steers the host-host-vehicle according to the correction-vector towards the centerline of the adjacent-lane.

    Abstract: A driver-fatigue warning system suitable for use in an automated vehicle includes a camera, an alert-device, and a controller. The camera renders an image of a lane-marking and of an object proximate to a host-vehicle. The alert-device is operable to alert an operator of the host-vehicle of driver-fatigue. The controller is in communication with the camera and the alert-device. The controller determines a vehicle-offset of the host-vehicle relative to the lane-marking based on the image. The controller determines an offset-position of the object relative to the lane-marking based on the image. The controller determines that a lane-departure has occurred when the vehicle-offset is less than a deviation-threshold. The controller does not count occurrences of lane-departures when the offset-position is less than an offset-threshold, and activates the alert-device when the count of the occurrences of lane-departures exceeds a crossing-threshold indicative of driver-fatigue.
