    Abstract: An autonomic vehicle control system includes a perception module of a spatial monitoring system that is disposed to monitor a spatial environment proximal to the autonomous vehicle. A method for evaluating vehicle dynamics operation includes determining a desired trajectory for the autonomous vehicle, wherein the desired trajectory includes desired vehicle positions including an x-position, a y-position and a heading. Vehicle control commands are determined based upon the desired trajectory, and include a commanded steering angle, an acceleration command and a braking command. Actual vehicle states responsive to the vehicle control commands are determined. An estimated trajectory is determined based upon the actual vehicle states, and a trajectory error is determined based upon a difference between the desired trajectory and the estimated trajectory. The trajectory error is monitored over a time horizon, and a first state of health (SOH) is determined based upon the trajectory error over the time horizon.

    Abstract: A method for autonomously aligning a tow hitch ball on a towing vehicle and a trailer drawbar on a trailer through a human-machine interface (HMI) assisted visual servoing process. The method includes providing rearview images from a rearview camera. The method includes touching the tow ball on a display to register a location of the tow ball in the image and touching the drawbar on the display to register a location of a target where the tow ball will be properly aligned with the drawbar. The method provides a template pattern around the target on the image and autonomously moves the vehicle so that the tow ball moves towards the target. The method predicts a new location of the target as the vehicle moves and identifies the target in new images as the vehicle moves by comparing the previous template pattern with an image patch around the predicted location.

    Abstract: A method for providing redundant vehicle speed estimation. The method includes providing sensor output signals from a plurality of primary sensors and providing inertial measurement signals from an inertial measurement unit. The method also includes estimating the vehicle speed in a primary module using the primary sensor signals, and buffering the estimated vehicle speed values from the primary module for a predetermined period of time. The method further includes determining that one or more of the primary sensors or the primary module has failed, and if so, estimating the vehicle speed in a secondary module using the buffered vehicle speed values and the inertial measurement signals. The method can use GPS signal data and/or range data from static objects to improve the estimated vehicle speed in the secondary module if they are available.
