Abstract: A trailer detection system is configured to determine a presence of a trailer towed by a host-vehicle. The system includes a camera and a controller. The camera is used to capture an image of an area behind a host vehicle. The controller is in communication with the camera. The controller is used to detect a position of an edge in the image and determine that the edge is associated with a trailer towed by the host vehicle when the position of the edge moves less than a movement threshold.

Abstract: An automated speed control system includes a ranging-sensor, a camera, and a controller. The ranging-sensor detects a lead-speed of a lead-vehicle traveling ahead of a host-vehicle. The camera detects an object in a field-of-view. The controller is in communication with the ranging-sensor and the camera. The controller is operable to control the host-vehicle. The controller determines a change in the lead-speed based on the ranging-sensor. The controller reduces a host-speed of the host-vehicle when the lead-speed is decreasing, no object is detected by the camera, and while a portion of the field-of-view is obscured by the lead-vehicle.

Abstract: A driver-fatigue warning system suitable for use in an automated vehicle includes a camera, an alert-device, and a controller. The camera renders an image of a lane-marking and of an object proximate to a host-vehicle. The alert-device is operable to alert an operator of the host-vehicle of driver-fatigue. The controller is in communication with the camera and the alert-device. The controller determines a vehicle-offset of the host-vehicle relative to the lane-marking based on the image. The controller determines an offset-position of the object relative to the lane-marking based on the image. The controller determines that a lane-departure has occurred when the vehicle-offset is less than a deviation-threshold. The controller does not count occurrences of lane-departures when the offset-position is less than an offset-threshold, and activates the alert-device when the count of the occurrences of lane-departures exceeds a crossing-threshold indicative of driver-fatigue.

Abstract: A guidance system, for use on an automated vehicle includes a camera, a vehicle-to-vehicle transceiver, and a controller. The camera detects a lane-marking on a roadway and detects a lead-vehicle traveling ahead of a host-vehicle. The vehicle-to-vehicle transceiver receives a future-waypoint from the lead-vehicle, wherein the future-waypoint defines a future-route of the lead-vehicle along the roadway. The controller is in communication with the camera and the vehicle-to-vehicle transceiver. The controller determines a projected-path for the host-vehicle based on the lane-marking. The controller also determines a lead-path of the lead-vehicle based on the camera. The controller steers the host-vehicle according to the lead-path when the lane-marking is not detected and the lead-path corresponds to the projected-path. The controller steers the host-vehicle according to the projected-path while the lane-marking is not detected and the future-waypoint does not correspond to the projected-path.
