Abstract: Operation of a vehicle that includes an autonomous operating system including an on-board map database includes operating in a travel lane employing a lane keeping control system and an adaptive cruise control system and monitoring a plurality of lane reference markers. Periodically, parameters are determined, including a first lateral offset for the vehicle based upon a forward-monitoring sensor and one of the lane reference markers, and a second lateral offset for the vehicle based upon a GPS sensor and the map database. A difference and an associated variance are determined, and an error in the map database is determined when the variance is greater than a threshold variance. The vehicle operator is alerted to actively control the vehicle based upon the detected error in the map database.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus provided for determining a current position of a vehicle are disclosed. The apparatus includes an autonomous driving system for a vehicle with a positioning system configured to determine a current position of the vehicle between an original point of the vehicle and a horizon point ahead the vehicle. The positioning system is configured to receive map data containing at least one road attribute, receive multiple trajectory points which are located between the original point and the horizon point and determine a trajectory which interconnects the multiple trajectory points, determine an absolute position of the vehicle, determine a projection point from the at least one road attribute onto the trajectory, and determine the current position of the vehicle and compare the current position of the vehicle with a position of the projection point of the road attribute between the original point and the horizon point.

Abstract: A method of diagnosing a state of health of a vision-based lane sensing system. A first misalignment factor is calculated as a function of a vehicle lateral offset and a vehicle heading. A second misalignment factor is calculated as a function of a vehicle speed, an estimated curvature of an expected path of travel, a lane curvature, and the vehicle heading. Histograms are generated for the first and second misalignment factors. A probability of a state of health is determined. A determination is made whether the probability of the state of health is within a predetermined threshold. An angle misalignment of the vision system is estimated. The angle misalignment of the vision system is corrected in response to the determination that the probability of the state of health is within the predetermined threshold; otherwise a warning of a faulty lane sensing system is actuated.
