Abstract: One general aspect includes a system to commence host vehicle movement upon being stopped behind a target vehicle, the system includes a memory configured to include one or more executable instructions and a processor configured to execute the executable instructions, where the executable instructions enable the processor to: detect the target vehicle as being stopped along a route; cause the host vehicle to stop at a first distance from the target vehicle; detect a transition of one or more brake lights of the target vehicle from an ON state to an OFF state; and after the one or more brake lights are detected to transition from the ON state to the OFF state, cause the host vehicle to move at a slow speed in the direction of the target vehicle.

Abstract: System and methods for identifying a weak subdivision in a battery system are presented. In certain embodiments, a system may include a battery pack that includes multiple subdivisions. A measurement system may be configured to determine multiple subdivision electrical parameters associated with the subdivisions. A battery control system may identify a weakest subdivision based one on or more calculated derivative ratios of a subdivision electrical parameter associated with one subdivision of the battery pack relative to a subdivision electrical parameter associated with another subdivision.

Abstract: A method for controlling operation of a motor vehicle includes an electronic controller receiving, e.g., from a vehicle-mounted sensor array, sensor data with dynamics information for a target vehicle and, using the received sensor data, predicting a lane assignment for the target vehicle on a road segment proximate the host vehicle. The electronic controller also receives map data with roadway information for the road segment; the controller fuses the sensor and map data to construct a polynomial overlay for a host lane of the road segment across which travels the host vehicle. A piecewise linearized road map of the host lane is constructed and combined with the predicted lane assignment and polynomial overlay to calculate a lane assignment for the target vehicle. The controller then transmits one or more command signals to a resident vehicle system to execute one or more control operations using the target vehicle's calculated lane assignment.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining a weld state of a contactor (e.g., normal, partially welded, and/or welded states) based on a variety of actuator coil characteristics during actuation. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods may be utilized in connection with determining contactor weld states in a variety of contactor designs. In further embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods may utilize a probability weighted score accounting for contactor design characteristics and information obtained from a reference contactor to identify a weld state associated with a contactor device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for adjusting the voltage limits of a battery. In some implementations, voltage data may be received from each of a plurality of battery sections of a vehicle battery. A voltage offset for the vehicle battery may be calculated using the voltage data. The voltage offset may be calculated by determining a difference between an average voltage taken from each of the plurality of battery sections and at least one of a minimum voltage of all of the battery cells and an average cell voltage from a battery section having the lowest average cell voltage. The voltage offset may be applied to dynamically adjust a voltage limit associated with the vehicle battery so as to prevent any of the battery cells in the vehicle battery from exceeding the voltage limit.
