Abstract: Presented are scenario-planning and route-generating distributed computing systems, methods for operating/constructing such systems, and vehicles with scenario-plan selection and real-time trajectory planning capabilities. A method for controlling operation of a motor vehicle includes determining vehicle state data, such as a current position and velocity of the vehicle, and path plan data, such as an origin and desired destination of the vehicle. A remote computing node off-board from the motor vehicle generates a list of trajectory plan candidates based on the vehicle state data, the path plan data, and current road scenario data. The remote computing node then calculates a respective travel cost for each candidate in the trajectory plan candidates list, and sorts the list from lowest to highest travel cost. The candidate with the lowest travel cost is transmitted to a resident vehicle controller. The vehicle controller executes an automated driving operation based on the received trajectory plan candidate.

Abstract: A method for identifying distracted pedestrians. The method includes determining operating conditions of a vehicle using a plurality of vehicle controllers. Pedestrian parameters for a pedestrian in a vicinity of the vehicle are acquired using a plurality of vehicle sensors. The pedestrian parameters include at least one of face positions, body positions, gait and hand gestures. Information related to an environment surrounding the vehicle is acquired. Pedestrian awareness level is determined based on the acquired pedestrian parameters and based on the information related to the environment surrounding the vehicle. A determination is made whether the pedestrian awareness level is below a predefined threshold. The pedestrian is classified as distracted, in response to determining that the pedestrian awareness level is below the predefined threshold.

Abstract: A method for improving pedestrian safety is provided. The method includes determining operating conditions of a vehicle using a plurality of vehicle sensors. A path of the vehicle is predicted based on the determined operating conditions. Pedestrian parameters for a pedestrian in a vicinity of the vehicle are acquired using the plurality of vehicle sensors. The pedestrian parameters include at least one of a position, a speed of the pedestrian, gait, body posture and a level of distractedness. A determination is made whether a notification of the pedestrian is necessary based on the determined vehicle operating conditions and the acquired pedestrian parameters.

Abstract: A vehicle information system for projecting images with respect to a vehicle is provided. The vehicle information system includes an image projection device disposed on the vehicle. The image projection device is operable to project an image on a surface with respect to the vehicle. The vehicle information system also includes a vehicle-based portion that receives information regarding a status of the vehicle and determines whether the projecting images is acceptable. The vehicle-based portion also causes the image projection device to project the image on the surface with respect to the vehicle when projecting images is acceptable.

Abstract: A vehicle, system and method of autonomous navigation of the vehicle. A reference trajectory for navigating a training traffic scenario along a road section is received at a processor of the vehicle. The processor determines a coefficient for a cost function associated with a candidate trajectory that simulates the reference trajectory. The determined coefficient is provided to a neural network to train the neural network. The trained neural network generates a navigation trajectory for navigating the vehicle using a cost coefficient determined by the neural network. The vehicle is navigated along the road section using the navigation trajectory.
