    摘要: A lane tracking system for a vehicle includes a front steering controller, a rear steering controller, and a lane tracking processor. The front steering controller is configured to rotate a front wheel of the vehicle through a front steering angle in response to a front steering torque command, and the rear steering controller is configured to rotate a rear wheel of the vehicle through a rear steering angle in response to a rear steering torque command. The lane tracking processor is configured to determine a desired course of the vehicle along a roadway, estimate a trajectory of the vehicle based on sensed vehicle motion, compute an error between the determined desired course and the estimated trajectory, and provide a front steering torque command to the front steering controller, and a rear steering torque command to the rear steering controller to minimize the computed error.

One or more expected vehicle steering measurements may be calculated, each calculated expected vehicle steering measurement corresponding to one of the measured vehicle steering measurements. At least one difference between one of the measured vehicle steering measurements and its corresponding calculated expected vehicle steering measurement may be calculated. A speed of the vehicle may be measured. One or more current threshold values may be calculated based on the measured speed, each of the current threshold values corresponding to one of the measured vehicle steering measurements and its corresponding calculated expected vehicle steering measurement. An automatic vehicle control system may be deactivated when one or more of the calculated differences exceeds its corresponding current threshold value.

    摘要: A system and a method for detecting the eyes of a driver of a vehicle using a single camera. The method includes determining a set of positional parameters corresponding to a driving seat of the vehicle. The camera is positioned at a pre-determined location inside the vehicle, and a set of parameters corresponding to the camera is determined. The location of the driver's eyes is detected using the set of positional parameters, an image of the driver's face and the set of parameters corresponding to the camera.

    摘要: A system and method for automatically adjusting the viewing angle of both side rear-view mirrors on a vehicle when the vehicle is traveling on a hill. The system estimates the slope of the hill, and uses the estimated slope to determine a corrected viewing angle of the rear-view mirrors. Depending on whether the vehicle is traveling uphill or down-hill, would depend on which direction the rear-view mirrors will be adjusted.

    摘要: A system and method for automatically correcting the viewing angle of a rear-view mirror on a vehicle towing a trailer when the vehicle is traveling around a curve. If the dimensions of the trailer are unknown, then the corrected viewing angle is the same as the hitch angle between the vehicle and the trailer. If the dimensions of the trailer are known, then trigonometry is used to determine the corrected viewing angle. Depending on whether the road is curving to the right or to the left will determine whether the left side rear-view mirror or the right side rear-view mirror is adjusted.

    摘要: Method for controlling a vehicle to maintain a desired position on a roadway includes monitoring roadway information behind the vehicle using a rearward detection device and monitoring vehicle sensor information. Frontward positional information is projected based on rearward positional information obtained from the monitored roadway information behind the vehicle. Forward roadway curvature is estimated based on the vehicle sensor information. Roadway information ahead of the vehicle is modeled based on the projected frontward positional information and the estimated forward roadway curvature to determine desired vehicle positional information. Future vehicle positional information is predicted with respect to the modeled roadway information based on the monitored vehicle sensor information and the estimated forward roadway curvature. The desired vehicle position information is compared to the predicted future vehicle positional information and a steering command is generated based on a deviation in the predicted future position information from the desired vehicle positional information.
