Abstract: A vehicle drivable area detection system includes a vehicle, at least one 3D sensor and an electronic controller. The at least one 3D sensor is installed to the vehicle and is configured to scan and capture data using laser imaging, detection and distance ranging relative to the vehicle. The data collected represents ground surface features including vertical obstacles, non-vertical obstacles and a drivable area proximate the vehicle within a line-of-sight of the 3D sensor. The electronic controller is installed within the vehicle and is electronically connected to the 3D sensor and at least one driver assist component. The electronic controller conducts the following: a vertical obstacle extraction from the data; terrain estimating from the data; curb detection from the data; and generating a plurality of data elements identifying vertical obstacles including curbs and the drivable area to the at least one driver assist component.

Abstract: A pedal control system for an electric vehicle includes a pedal, a first switch, a second switch, and an electronic controller. The pedal is configured to be operated in a first mode or a second mode. The first mode does not include regenerative braking and the second mode includes regenerative braking. The second mode includes a plurality of sub-modes. The first switch is configured to switch between the first mode and the second mode. The second switch is configured to select one of the plurality of sub-modes when the second mode is selected. The electronic controller is configured to control an operating mode of the pedal when the second mode is selected. Each of the plurality of sub-modes has a different rate of deceleration and regeneration.

Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing traffic flow through an intersection are disclosed. In an embodiment, the method includes receiving positional data indicating a current location of a first vehicle intending to pass through the intersection, receiving directional data indicating an intended direction of the first vehicle through the intersection from the current location, determining, based on the positional data and the directional data, whether an intended path of the first vehicle through the intersection interferes with an alternative path through the intersection, and adjusting a traffic signal at the intersection to decrease an amount of time to pass through the intersection via the alternative path.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a vehicle engine, a steering control unit, an on-board sensor network and a navigational constraint control system. The vehicle engine generates a torque output of the vehicle. The steering control unit controls a steering angle of the vehicle. The on-board sensor network is programmed to detect external objects within a detection zone. The navigational constraint control system has a memory for storing a path index for the vehicle's navigation. The processor is programmed to determine a reference trajectory from the path index. The processor is further programmed to calculate navigational constraints for the determined reference trajectory to determine a nominal trajectory based on information detected by the on-board sensor network. The processor is programmed to control at least one of the vehicle engine and the steering control unit in accordance with the nominal trajectory.

Abstract: A vehicle data display system includes an electronic display installed within a vehicle, a 3-D sensor and an electronic controller. The 3-D sensor configured to scan areas forward of and along lateral sides of the vehicle producing point cloud. Each data point of the cloud data corresponding to a surface portion of a physical feature. Each data point includes distance, direction and vertical location of each surface point. The electronic controller is connected to the electronic display and the 3-D sensor. The electronic controller receives and evaluates the point cloud from the 3-D sensor generating a 3-D model of detected ones of the physical features around the vehicle including ground surfaces, non-drivable features and driving limiting features relative to the vehicle. The non-drivable features are features that have predetermined geometric relationships with adjacent ground surfaces such that caution is to he taken when driving over or on driving limiting features.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a vehicle engine, a steering control unit, an on-board sensor network and a virtual hazard inference system. The vehicle engine generates a torque output of the vehicle. The steering control unit controls a steering angle of the vehicle. The on-board sensor network is programmed to detect external objects within a detection zone. The virtual hazard inference system has a processor programmed to infer a presence of an occluded object that is not detected by the on-board sensor network. The processor controls the vehicle engine and the steering control unit to perform at least one of a torque control operation and a steering control operation.

Abstract: A vehicle lane marking detection system includes a 3D sensor, a driver assist component and an electronic controller. The 3D sensor is installed to a vehicle and is configured to scan physical objects around the vehicle outputting a plurality of data points each corresponding to a surface point of a physical feature. Each data point being defined by distance, direction, intensity and vertical location relative to the vehicle. The electronic controller is connected to the 3D sensor and the driver assist component. The electronic controller evaluates a point cloud defined by the data points identifying lane markings based on the intensity of the data points. The data points having intensities greater than a predetermined level are determined to correspond to lane marking and are provided to the driver assist component with the lane markings for use thereby.
