    摘要: Proactively mitigating risk to a vehicle traversing a vehicle transportation network is described. First and second hazard zones for first and second objects ahead of the vehicle are respectively determined. The first hazard zone includes a first target lateral constraint that extends over a left lane boundary, and the second hazard zone includes a second target lateral constraint that extends over a right lane boundary. The lateral constraints separately allow the vehicle to avoid the objects without a speed constraint. Where the first and second hazard zones overlap in the longitudinal direction, a lateral buffer is allocated between the lateral constraints to generate first and second allocated lateral constraints. Longitudinal constraints are respectively determined based on times of arrival at each hazard zone. Using the constraints, a proactive trajectory is determined that includes a lateral contingency, a longitudinal contingency, or both. The vehicle is controlled according to the trajectory.

    摘要: Categorizing driving behaviors of other road users includes maintaining a first history of first lateral-offset values of a road user with respect to a center line of a lane of a road; determining a first pattern based on the first history of the first lateral-offset values; determining a driving behavior of the road user based on the first pattern; and autonomously performing, by a host vehicle, a driving maneuver based on the driving behavior of the road user. The first history can be maintained for a predetermined period of time. An apparatus includes a processor that is configured to track a trajectory history of a road user; determine, based on the trajectory history, a driving behavior of the road user; and transmit a notification of the driving behavior.

    摘要: Route planning for a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) includes obtaining a route between an origin and a destination, where the route is optimized for at least one of a noise level or energy consumption of an engine of the HEV that is used to charge a battery of the HEV, and where the route comprises respective engine activation actions for at least some segments of the route; and controlling the HEV to follow the segments of the route and to activate the engine according to the respective engine activation actions.

    摘要: An apparatus for traveling through a transportation network performs a method including generating a display that includes a geographical area about a starting location for route assistance through the transportation network and a virtual vehicle at the starting location, and forming a virtual path for the route assistance using the virtual vehicle. The virtual path includes a first portion obtained from advancing the virtual vehicle from the starting location while an autonomous vehicle (AV) is at the starting location and a second portion obtained from, after the virtual vehicle departs from the starting location, extrapolating from the virtual vehicle through the geographical area to a stopping location or an ending location of the route assistance. Points along the virtual path are continually transmitted to a trajectory planner of the AV while the virtual vehicle advances through the geographical area, and the trajectory planner generates a route for the AV conforming to the virtual path.
