Abstract: Operating a host vehicle is described as including receiving remote vehicle information indicating a geospatial state and a kinematic state for a remote vehicle, identifying host vehicle information indicating a geospatial state and a kinematic state for the host vehicle, determining a converging time to a converging location within a vehicle transportation network based on the remote vehicle information and the host vehicle information, identifying a first threshold at which a fixed deceleration of the host vehicle to the converging location is achieved using a reaction delay of an operator of the host vehicle, wherein the first threshold is a step-wise function based on the kinematic state of the host vehicle, and modifying operation of the host vehicle responsive to the converging time reaching the first threshold. A method, vehicle, and apparatus are described.

Abstract: A method for providing information to a driver of a vehicle includes receiving, at a host vehicle via a wireless electronic communication link, messages that each include remote vehicle information for a respective one of the one or more remote vehicles; identifying host vehicle information for the host vehicle; determining that a potential message occlusion exists based at least in part on the remote vehicle information for the one or more remote vehicles and the host vehicle information; and in response to determining that a potential message occlusion exists, causing a message occlusion alert to be output.

Abstract: A vehicle body structure includes a first panel, a second panel, a pulse detection sensor and a gap reduction member. The first panel has a first main section and a sensor installation location that is spaced apart from the first main section. The second panel has a second main section that is spaced apart from the first main section of the first panel and defines a gap therebetween. The pulse detection sensor is attached to the first panel at the sensor installation location. The gap reduction member is installed to the first main section of the first panel. The gap reduction member extends from the first main section toward the second main section within the gap.

Abstract: A vehicle seat strap retaining assembly includes a seat cushion section, a seatback section, a strap retaining clip and a strap attachment structure. The seatback section is attached to the seat cushion, the seatback section having a passenger's back supporting surface and an upper end surface. The strap retaining clip is attached to a rear surface of the seatback section. The strap attachment structure is rigidly fixed to one of the seat cushion section and the seatback section beneath the upper end surface. The strap retaining clip and the strap attachment structure are positioned and configured such that with a child seat positioned on the seat cushion section, a securing strap of the child seat extending over the upper end surface of the seatback section passes through the strap retaining clip and attaches to the strap attachment structure.

Abstract: A vehicle air conditioning system is configured to cool a passenger compartment having a first zone and a second zone. An air handler has a recirculation door movable from a first position in which only fresh air from outside the vehicle enters the air handler and a second position in which only recirculation air from the first zone enters the air handler. A controller is connected to the first sensor, the recirculation door and a control panel. The controller is configured such that in response to the control panel being set to: provide cooling only to the second zone; the recirculation door being set to provide fresh air; and a first sensor's conditions being meet, the controller changes the setting of the recirculation door from fresh air to recirculated air to the air handler over-riding a manual setting of the position of the recirculation door.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying parking areas may include identifying a plurality of coordinates representing vehicle spatial data, partitioning the plurality of coordinates into at least two groups of vehicle locations based on at least one condition existing when the plurality of coordinates was identified, clustering the vehicle spatial data for a first group of the at least two groups of vehicle locations based on proximity, comparing dimensions of the clustered vehicle spatial data for the first group with other location data within the vehicle transportation network information, and defining a respective location of the clustered vehicle spatial data as a parking area of a plurality of parking areas. Each parking area is associated with a respective location in a vehicle transportation network. The parking area information may be used in the identification of a route from an origin to a primary destination.

Abstract: A vehicle body structure includes first and second body structures defining first and second interior cavities. A mounting portion of the base member is fixed to the first body structure. A guide member is fixed to the second body structure. A channel member is movably received by the guide member. A first end of the channel member is rotatably fixed to a receiving portion of the base member and defines a first end opening such that the receiving portion extends into the first end opening. A second end is positioned within the second interior cavity and defines a second end opening with a channel extending from the first end opening to the second end opening. The channel member extends across an exterior space between the first and second body structures. A wiring harness passes through the channel from the first interior cavity to the second interior cavity.

Abstract: A vehicle panel assembly comprises a trim assembly, a light and a sensor. The trim assembly defines a recessed storage area. The light is disposed on the trim assembly and configured to emit visible light toward the recessed storage area. The sensor is disposed on the trim assembly proximate to the recessed storage area and configured to activate the light to emit the visible light upon the sensor sensing a presence of an object entering an area proximate to the sensor that includes the recessed storage area.
