    Abstract: A system according to the principles of the present disclosure includes a power determination module and a powertrain control module that includes a state selection module. The power determination module can estimate power required to travel at a desired speed on a roadway segment located in an anticipated path of a vehicle based upon an estimated slope of the roadway segment. The powertrain control module can control operational states of a hybrid powertrain. The powertrain control module includes a state selection module that can determine whether a current operational state is capable of producing the estimated power based upon a state of charge of a vehicle battery. The state selection module can also switch to another operational state that is capable of producing the estimated power if the current operational state is incapable of producing the estimated power.

    Abstract: A system and method for generating an augmented navigational image for aligning a vehicle to a wireless charging pad includes capturing a first image in a forward longitudinal direction detecting a right parking space line and a left parking space line determining first distance between a wireless charging pad and the right parking space line and a second distance between the wireless charging pad and the left parking space line, generating an augmented navigational image in response to the first image and the second image wherein the augmented navigational image further includes a right longitudinal guidance line indicative of the first distance between a vehicle longitudinal axis and the right parking space line and a left longitudinal guidance line indicative of the second distance between the vehicle longitudinal axis and displaying the augmented navigational image on a vehicle navigation display.

    Abstract: A host vehicle includes a combustion engine configured to provide a propulsion torque to satisfy a propulsion demand. The vehicle also includes at least one sensor configured to detect a position of a reference vehicle. A vehicle controller is programmed to determine a path between a current host vehicle location and an upcoming intersection. The controller is also programmed to forecast a path clearance time at which the host vehicle is able to traverse the intersection in response to sensor data indicating the reference vehicle moving within the path ahead of the host vehicle. The controller is further programmed to deactivate the engine prior to a host vehicle stop based on the path clearance time being greater than a time threshold.

    Abstract: An exemplary method for modeling steering characteristics of a vehicle includes receiving first sensor data corresponding to a steering wheel angle, receiving second sensor data corresponding to image data of an external environment of the vehicle, generating a vehicle movement model from the first and second sensor data, determining a lateral vehicle velocity and a longitudinal vehicle velocity along a vehicle path of travel, defining a road wheel angle based at least in part on the lateral and longitudinal velocities of the vehicle, and determining a road wheel to steering wheel angle ratio using a plurality of polynomial curves to approximate the road wheel to steering wheel angle ratio.

    Abstract: Embodiments include methods, systems and computer readable storage medium for determining receipt of a malicious message by a vehicle. The method includes receiving, by a processor, a message and determining, by the processor, a message type associated with the message. The method includes calculating, by the processor, an angle of arrival (AoA) for the message, wherein the AoA is an angle of receipt for the message. The method includes comparing, by the processor, the AoA to a message angle, wherein the message angle is an expected angle of receipt or angle range for the message based on the message type. The method includes flagging, by the processor, the message as being malicious in response to the comparison indicating that the AoA is not equivalent to or within a predetermined tolerance of the message angle. The method includes suppressing, by the processor, a notification or warning associated with the flagged message.
