Abstract:
A method and apparatus for determining an error in global navigation information are provided. The apparatus includes at least one memory including computer executable instructions and at least one processor configured to read and execute the computer executable instructions. The computer executable instructions causing the at least one processor to detect a position based on a global navigation information, determine at least one from among a lateral error and longitudinal error at the detected position based on high resolution mapping data, determine an adjustment value based on determined at least one from among the lateral error and the longitudinal error, and transmit or store the adjustment value and the detected position corresponding to the adjustment value.
Abstract:
A system and method for communicating with a plurality of vehicles. The method includes receiving route information from a plurality of telematics units installed into each of the vehicles. The information may be collected as the vehicles are traveling along a vehicle route. The method further includes determining an eligibility of the vehicle route for use with a semi-autonomous driving system of the vehicles from at least the received route information. The method may also include communicating the eligibility of the vehicle route to the vehicles. The system includes a plurality of telematics units configured to collect route information as the vehicles are traveling along a vehicle route. The system further includes a database in communication with the plurality of telematics units. The database includes an eligibility of the vehicle route for use with a super cruise system of the vehicles.
Abstract:
A system including: a memory configured to include one or more executable instructions, a controller configured to execute the executable instructions, a vehicle including a vehicle system and an antenna system, the vehicle system configured to generate vehicle location data, the antenna system configured to implement the beamforming tactics based on received angle of arrival information so as to create a directed communication link with one or more transceiving devices, a localization data module configured to produce angle of arrival information for one or more select locations; and where the executable instructions enable the controller to: receive vehicle location data communicated from the vehicle; based on the vehicle location data, perform the localization data module to produce angle of arrival information for the one or more select locations; communicate the angle of arrival information for each of the one or more select locations to the vehicle system.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided to allow for reliable consumption of GPS and Map information into a Control System, for such uses as improving off cycle fuel economy in a plug in hybrid vehicle with an electric motor, and an internal combustion engine using a global position system (GPS) is provided. The system comprises a global position system (GPS), a clock, and a processor containing a function executing therein that controls the internal combustion engine based on a GPS fix and its Accuracy Information (VDOP/HDOP/Satellite Quantity).
Abstract:
A first closed lane segment file including a first lane change histogram and a lane closure start point associated with a closed lane segment of a first lane of a road is received from a lane change data aggregation system at a lane change management system. The first lane change histogram includes a distribution of a plurality of lane change points received from vehicles that previously engaged in a lane change from the first lane to a second lane of the road in response to the closed lane segment. A lane change control point is determined based on the first lane change histogram at the lane change management system. A command is issued from the lane change management system to an ADS of the autonomous vehicle to initiate a lane change from the first lane to the second lane at the lane change control point.
Abstract:
A method for enabling a V2V communications link between a trailer and a first tow vehicle including receiving a towing system activation control signal, transmitting a tow vehicle request, receiving a first tow vehicle response including a first tow vehicle location and a first tow vehicle identifier, determining a first distance between the first tow vehicle and the trailer, and enabling the V2V communications link in response to the first distance being less than a threshold distance.
Abstract:
A method for capturing, by a host vehicle camera, an image of a leading vehicle, estimating a leading vehicle dimension and a first distance between a host vehicle and the leading vehicle in response to the image, receiving a data indicative of a traffic signal location and a traffic signal cycle state, determining a second distance between the host vehicle and the traffic signal, estimating a traffic signal view obstruction in response to the leading vehicle dimension, the first distance, and the second distance, and generating a graphical user interface indicative of the traffic signal cycle state in response to the traffic signal view obstruction.
Abstract:
A method for providing a driver alert including receiving a traffic signal phase state and a time remaining in the traffic signal phase state, determining a move forward time in response to the traffic signal phase state being red and the time remaining in the traffic signal phase state, displaying the move forward time to a driver, determining a driver attentiveness level, and generating a driver alert in response to the driver attentiveness level being below a threshold attentiveness level and the move forward time being less than a threshold time.
