Abstract: A behavior prediction method includes: determining a position of a host vehicle; determining a position of another vehicle in a second travel lane, the second travel lane being an opposite lane to a first travel lane in which the host vehicle travels; detecting an intersecting passage intersecting the second travel lane at a position ahead of the host vehicle; and determining whether or not the another vehicle is located within a predetermined range from an intersection position of the intersecting passage and the second travel lane to a point away from the intersection position by a predetermined distance in an opposite direction to a traveling direction of a vehicle in the second travel lane and the another vehicle is in either state of a stopped state and a decelerated state to predict that there is a probability that a mobile unit enters the first travel lane from the intersecting passage.

Abstract: A surrounding vehicle monitoring device includes an acquiring unit configured to acquire a midpoint between a rear left end position and a rear right end position of another vehicle, acquire a width of the other vehicle, and change a current position of a great change position to a corrected position and acquire a midpoint between a current position of a small change position and the corrected position as a position of the other vehicle in a case where a changing amount of the width is equal to or more than a first threshold. The great change position is one of the rear left end position and the rear right end position whose changing amount is the greater of the two. The small change position is another of the rear left end position and the rear right end position whose changing amount is the smaller of the two.

Abstract: A control system for use in a motor vehicle and configured to monitor a current driving situation of the motor vehicle on the basis of surrounding data of the motor vehicle acquired from at least one surrounding sensor arranged on the motor vehicle in a current driving situation is disclosed. The control system is configured to determine information relating to a current driving situation of the motor vehicle on the basis of the provided surrounding data, to determine information relating to a current driving situation of the motor vehicle and to determine a component of a future driving maneuver for the motor vehicle on the basis of the information relating to the current driving situation of the motor vehicle. Furthermore, the control system is configured to determine a multiplicity of model trajectories for the motor vehicle on the basis of the determined component of the future driving maneuver for the motor vehicle and to determine from the multiplicity of model trajectories a trajectory for the motor vehicle which the motor vehicle is to follow in the further course of its travel. The control system is also configured to update the information relating to the current driving situation of the motor vehicle and/or the supplied surrounding data and to adapt the trajectory for the motor vehicle on the basis of a target function and on the basis of the updated supplied surrounding data and/or on the basis of the updated information relating to the current driving situation of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a control arrangement for controlling a speed of a vehicle in an upcoming road section comprising a road crest. The method comprises: determining a speed reduction to be performed before reaching the road crest based on at least a gradient of a downhill slope following the road crest; determining whether the upcoming road section has a single lane or multiple lanes; controlling the speed of the vehicle in the upcoming road section based on the speed reduction and based on whether the upcoming road section has a single lane or multiple lanes, wherein the speed reduction is limited when the upcoming road section has a single lane compared to when the upcoming road section has multiple lanes. In some embodiments, the speed reduction of the vehicle is limited in situations when there is a risk of queues building up behind the vehicle.

Abstract: In a vehicle control apparatus, an acquiring unit acquires factor information that causes acceleration or deceleration of the own vehicle while the own vehicle is subjected to the acceleration/deceleration control. A setting unit sets, based on the factor information, a maximum level of deceleration and/or a maximum level of acceleration. The maximum level of deceleration represents a maximum rate of reduction in a speed of the own vehicle during deceleration of the own vehicle. The maximum level of acceleration represents a maximum rate of increase in the speed of the own vehicle during acceleration of the own vehicle. A control unit is operative to perform (i) deceleration control of the own vehicle using the maximum level of deceleration as an upper limit for the deceleration control, and/or (ii) acceleration control of the own vehicle using the maximum level of acceleration as an upper limit for the acceleration control.

Abstract: A lane change planning method plans a first lane change path based on a lane where a vehicle is currently driving and an adjacent lane and controls the vehicle to drive based on the first lane change path. When the vehicle drives to a first target position, a first target object such as another vehicle is detected. Wherein the first target position is determined by the first lane change path, and a dividing line between the lane where the vehicle is currently driving and the adjacent lane. The vehicle is controlled to drive according to the first lane change path, when the first target object is not detected within a preset distance. The present disclosure also provides a vehicle-mounted device. The present disclosure adds to safer road driving on busy roads.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems, methods, and devices for automated vehicular control based on glare detected by an optical system of a vehicle. In some aspects, automated control includes controlling the operation of the vehicle itself, a vehicle subsystem, or a vehicle component based on a level of glare detected. According to some examples, controlling the operation of a vehicle includes instructing an automatically or manually operated vehicle to traverse a selected route based on levels of glare detected or expected along potentials routes to a destination. According to other examples, controlling operation of a vehicle subsystem or a vehicle component includes triggering automated responses by the subsystem or the component based on a level of glare detected or expected. In some additional aspects, glare data is shared between individual vehicles and with a remote data processing system for further analysis and action.

Abstract: Sensor data identifying an emergency vehicle approaching the autonomous vehicle may be received. A predicted trajectory for the emergency vehicle may be received. Whether the autonomous vehicle is impeding the emergency vehicle may be determined based on the predicted trajectory and map information identifying a road on which the autonomous vehicle is currently traveling. Based on a determination that the autonomous vehicle is impeding the emergency vehicle, the autonomous vehicle may be controlled in an autonomous driving mode in order to respond to the emergency vehicle.
