    Abstract: An electronic apparatus and method for channel congestion control in V2X communication is provided. The electronic apparatus determines an initial MCS level associated the V2X communication channel of the vehicle and estimates a first level of channel congestion in the V2X communication channel at the initial MCS level. Thereafter, the electronic apparatus selects, from a plurality of MCS levels for V2X communication, a first MCS level associated with a first threshold level of a plurality of threshold levels of the channel congestion. The selection of the first MCS level is based on a determination that the first level of the channel congestion is greater than or equal to the first threshold level. The selected first MCS level is greater than the initial MCS level. The electronic apparatus transmits, at the selected first MCS level, message information over the V2X communication channel to a group of electronic devices.

    Abstract: A merge behavior system assists a host vehicle positioned in a mainline lane that is adjacent a merge lane. The merge behavior system includes an identification module that identifies at least one proximate vehicle in the merge lane. The merge behavior system also includes a prediction module that selects one or more models based on the at least one proximate vehicle, calculates one or more merge factors corresponding to the one or more models, and predicts a merge location based on the one or more merge factors. The merge behavior system further includes a control module configured to adjust a kinematic parameter of the host vehicle to create a gap at the predicted merge location.

    Abstract: Embodiments, systems, and techniques for vehicle operation assistance are provided herein. Vehicle operation assistance may be provided by monitoring characteristics of an occupant of a vehicle and determining an emergency status for the occupant based on characteristics of the occupant, transmitting a request for help based on the emergency status indicating the occupant of the vehicle is experiencing an emergency, receiving a “follow me” request from a potential leader vehicle, enabling follower mode such that vehicle is a follower vehicle and the potential leader vehicle is a leader vehicle, establishing a connection with the leader vehicle and receiving navigation instructions from the leader vehicle based on the vehicle being in follower mode, generating driving action commands based on navigation instructions, and executing respective driving action commands in an autonomous fashion based on the vehicle being in follower mode.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for shared autonomy through cooperative sensing are described. According to one embodiment, a cooperative sensing system includes a rendezvous module that receives broadcast messages from a plurality of cooperating vehicles on the roadway. The rendezvous module also selects a subordinate vehicle from the plurality of cooperating vehicles based on the autonomy level of the subordinate vehicle as compared to an autonomy level of a principal vehicle. The cooperative sensing system also includes a positioning module that determines a cooperative position of the principal vehicle and the subordinate vehicle. The cooperative sensing system further includes a negotiation module that receives at least one cooperating parameter from the subordinate vehicle. The cooperative sensing system includes a perception module that initiates cooperative automation the subordinate vehicle according to the at least one cooperating parameter when the principal vehicle and the subordinate vehicle are positioned in the cooperative position.

    Abstract: An anticipatory lane change system is described for assisting a host vehicle positioned in a current lane that is adjacent an adjacent lane. The anticipatory lane change system may include an identification module that identifies a potential lane change location and receives proximate vehicle data associated with proximate vehicles. The anticipatory lane change system may include a prediction module that predicts future kinematic data at a future time for a set of the proximate vehicles. The anticipatory lane change system may include a determination module that determines whether a gap will be available at the potential lane change location at the future time based on the future kinematic data. The anticipatory lane change system may include a lane change module that initiates a lane change maneuver for the host vehicle in response to determining that the gap will be available at the potential lane change location at the future time.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for lane hazard prediction including receiving vehicle data from a plurality of vehicles each equipped for computer communication. Each vehicle in the plurality of vehicles is travelling along a road network including a plurality of lanes, and each lane in the plurality of lanes includes a plurality of lane level cells where each lane level cell includes a particular portion of a lane in the plurality of lanes. The method includes integrating the vehicle data into the plurality of lane level cells, and for each lane level cell in the plurality of lane level cells, calculating a probability that a hazard exists with respect to the lane level cell based on the vehicle data associated with the lane level cell, an adjacent upstream cell, and an adjacent downstream cell. Further, the method includes controlling a host vehicle based on the probability that the hazard exists downstream from the host vehicle.
