    Abstract: A system and method of determining a geographical location of a vehicle. The method carried out by the system includes: obtaining geographical coordinates of the vehicle; determining a lateral ground displacement within a roadway on which the vehicle is traveling; receiving geographical map data that includes one or more roadways including the roadway on which the vehicle is traveling; and adjusting the geographical coordinates of the vehicle based on the lateral ground displacement and the geographical map data.

    Abstract: A method of arbitrating conflicting outputs in a redundant control system. Execution data of a task executed by each controller in the redundant control system is recorded. The execution data includes an initial timestamp of each execution stream, identification of critical functions in each execution stream, and parameter values used by the critical functions. A path executed by each controller is identified based only on the critical functions executed for each execution stream. The recorded execution data of each executed path is applied to an arbitration module. An output result from one of the respective controllers selecting, by an arbitration module, based on the recorded execution data of each executed path. The output result of the selected controller is communicated to a next module for further processing.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for operating a lane sensing system for a vehicle having at least one side-mounted infrared light source are disclosed. One system includes an ambient light sensor configured to detect a light level condition of an environment surrounding the vehicle; an infrared light sensor configured to detect an infrared light reflection from a lane marker; and a controller in communication with the ambient light sensor, the infrared light source, and the infrared light sensor, the controller configured to receive sensor data corresponding to the light level condition, determine if the light level condition is below a threshold, command the infrared light source to illuminate if the light level condition is below the threshold, receive infrared reflection data from the infrared light sensor of infrared light reflected from at least one lane marker, and detect a lane boundary based on the infrared reflection data.

    Abstract: Systems, Methods and Apparatuses are provided to control actuation of an autonomous operating mode feature of a vehicle to operate when the vehicle is on a limited access freeway. The elevated freeway detection system includes: receiving, by an evaluation module, a plurality of data in real-time about the vehicle including: mapping, GPS and radar data of the vehicle to provide at least a current vehicle location and image data to capture surroundings of the vehicle; determining, whether the vehicle is mapped on a limited access freeway by computing a matching probability location data of the vehicle to the limited access roadway based on the map data, radar data and GPS data; and sending a signal to inhibit the autonomous feature from engaging in the vehicle when the vehicle is not on the limited access freeway.

    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 systems for vehicle localization are disclosed. An exemplary system includes a navigation system configured to generate navigation data corresponding to a global position of the vehicle, at least one image sensor configured to capture image data of a selected roadway feature along a projected path of the vehicle, a database comprising map data corresponding to lateral and longitudinal coordinates for a plurality of roadway features along the projected path of the vehicle; and a controller, the controller configured to receive the image data, the map data, and the navigation data, calculate a first distance from the selected feature to the vehicle using the navigation data and the image data, calculate a second distance from the selected feature to the vehicle using the navigation data and the map data, and determine a localization error by comparing the first distance to the second distance.
