Abstract: Methods and systems are described that enable radar reference map generation. A radar occupancy grid is received, and radar attributes are determined from occupancy probabilities within the radar occupancy grid. Radar reference map cells are formed, and the radar attributes are used to determine Gaussians for the radar reference map cells that contain a plurality of the radar attributes. A radar reference map is then generated that includes the Gaussians determined for the radar referenced map cells that contain the plurality of radar attributes. By doing so, the generated radar reference map is accurate while being spatially efficient.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described that enable radar reference map generation. A high-definition (HD) map is received and one or more HD map objects within the HD map are determined. Attributes of the respective HD map objects are determined, and, for each HD map object, one or more occupancy cells of a radar occupancy grid are indicated as occupied space based on the attributes of the respective HD map object. By doing so, a radar reference map may be generated without a vehicle traversing through an area corresponding to the radar reference map.

Abstract: A vehicle navigation system includes a camera and a controller. The camera is configured to render an image of a host-vehicle in a field-of-view of the camera. The camera located remote from the host-vehicle. The controller is installed on the host-vehicle. The controller is configured to receive the image and determine a vehicle-coordinate of the host-vehicle in accordance with a position of the host-vehicle in the image. The camera may be configured to superimpose gridlines on the image, and the controller may be configured to determine the position in accordance with the gridlines.

Abstract: A map-data collection system for mapping an area includes a first sensor, a receiver, and a controller-circuit. The first-sensor is for installation on a first-vehicle. The first-sensor is configured to gather perception-data of an area from a first-perspective. The receiver is for installation on the first-vehicle. The receiver is configured to receive perception-data gathered by a second-sensor mounted on a second-vehicle proximate to the first-vehicle. The second-sensor is configured to gather perception-data of the area from a second-perspective different from the first-perspective. The controller-circuit is in communication with the first-sensor and the receiver. The controller-circuit is configured to determine composite-data in accordance with the perception-data from the first-sensor on the first-vehicle and the perception-data from the second-sensor on the second-vehicle. Optionally, the first-vehicle may communicate with the second-vehicle in a manner effective to control the relative-position of the first-vehicle and the second-vehicle while the perception-date is being collected.

Abstract: A system for an automated-taxi includes a display and a controller. The display is viewable by one or more of a plurality of clients of an automated-taxi. The controller-circuit is in communication with the display. The controller is configured to determine a seating-arrangement of the plurality of clients transported by the automated-taxi. The seating-arrangement is determined in accordance with destinations of the plurality of clients. The controller is also configured to operate the display to show the seating-arrangement to one or more of the plurality of clients. A method of operating an automated-taxi includes receiving destinations of a plurality of clients to transported by an automated-taxi; determining a seating-arrangement of the plurality of clients in accordance with the destinations; and operating a display viewable by one or more of a plurality of clients of an automated-taxi to show the seating-arrangement to one or more of the plurality of clients.

Abstract: A virtual-barrier system that defines a keep-out-zone for vehicles to avoid includes a transmitter, a location-detector, and a controller. The transmitter is configured to broadcast information regarding a keep-out-zone. The location-detector is configured to indicate a location of the transmitter. The controller is in communication with the transmitter and the location-detector. The controller is configured to determine boundaries of the keep-out-zone in accordance with the location, and operate the transmitter to broadcast coordinates of the boundaries of the keep-out-zone.

Abstract: A navigation system for an automated vehicle includes an object-detector, a first-map, a second-map, and a controller. The object-detector indicates relative-positions of a plurality of objects proximate to the host-vehicle. The first-map indicates a first-object and a second-object detected by the object-detector. The second-map is different from the first-map. The second-map indicates the first-object and the second-object. The controller is in communication with the object-detector, the first-map, and the second-map. The controller is configured to determine a first-coordinate of the host-vehicle on the first-map based on the relative-positions of the first-object and the second-object, determine a second-coordinate of the host-vehicle on the second-map based on the relative-positions of the first-object and the second-object, and align the first-map and the second-map based on the first-coordinate, the second-coordinate, and the relative-positions of the first-object and the second-object.

Abstract: A system for operating an automated vehicle includes a perception-sensor and a controller. The perception-sensor is configured to detect a ridge in a travel-surface traveled by a host-vehicle. The controller is in communication with the perception-sensor. The controller is configured to operate the host-vehicle to avoid a trajectory-deflection of the host-vehicle when a tire of the host-vehicle encounters the ridge.

Abstract: A traffic-light-detection system that visually determines a light-state of a traffic-light proximate to an automated vehicle includes a camera, a controller, and optionally a radar. The camera and the radar are on a host-vehicle. The camera renders a series-of-images of a traffic-light proximate to a host-vehicle. The radar detects radar-returns from the traffic-light. The controller is configured to determine a motion-pattern of the traffic-light based on the series-of-images and/or the radar-returns, and select a preferred-image from the series-of-images based on the motion-pattern. The preferred-image shows a light-source of the traffic-light characterized as being most directed at the camera when the motion-pattern indicates that the traffic-light is moving. The controller is further configured to determine a light-state of the traffic-light based on the preferred-image.
