Abstract: To control vehicle functions of a vehicle, at least one processing circuit performs a fusion of vehicle sensor data and map data. To ensure a Safety of the Intended Functionality, the at least one processing circuit performs a situation analysis to detect a situation that has a potential to impact safety of the vehicle. The at least one processing circuit adjusts at least one confidence value based at least on the situation analysis. The at least one confidence value determines a relative impact of the vehicle sensor data and the map data in performing the fusion. The at least one processing circuit causes at least one function to be performed that is determined based on the fusion.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a system and a method for controlling motion of an ego vehicle. The method includes collecting a feedback signal indicative of a current state of the ego vehicle and an environment, processing the feedback signal to determine a region of the state of the ego vehicle uplifted with admissible values of a control parameter, processing the feedback signal with a nominal controller to produce a nominal control command maintaining the state of the ego vehicle within the determined region, and evaluating a state function of an evasive controller with a value of the control parameter from the determined region to produce an evasive control command. The method further includes controlling the motion of the ego vehicle according to the nominal control command when the fault is not detected; and otherwise controlling the motion of the ego vehicle according to the evasive control command.

Abstract: Primary/secondary controller management techniques for a network include determining, by a secondary controller of a set of secondary controllers on the network, a set of housekeeping activities/tasks to be completed before shutdown of the secondary controller, communicating, by the secondary controller with a primary controller on the network, to keep the primary controller awake until the secondary controller completes the set of housekeeping activities/tasks, wherein the primary controller is configured to control and/or supervise the set of secondary controllers on the network, completing, by the secondary controller, the set of housekeeping activities/tasks irrespective of a shutdown command received from the primary controller, and upon completing the set of housekeeping activities/tasks, communicating, by the secondary controller with the primary controller, such that the primary controller shuts down and then independently shutting down itself to mitigate or eliminate errors/malfunctions due to any incomplete housekeeping tasks/activities.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to method for controlling a driving operation of an autonomously controlled vehicle. In particular, a navigation system is controlled to autonomously operate the vehicle in a direction from a position of loss of location to a first upcoming stop position; and to controlling the vehicle to a stand-still operation when the vehicle arrives at the stop position for calibration of a sensor arranged to measure an angular velocity of the vehicle.

Abstract: A diagnostic method for an automated vehicle includes monitoring data from a first vehicle subsystem of a plurality of vehicle subsystems to establish a current operating zone for the first vehicle subsystem, transmitting a master diagnostic message with an anomalous status for the first vehicle subsystem in response to the current operating zone for the first vehicle subsystem being outside of an anomalous behavior boundary of a normal operating zone for the first vehicle subsystem for at least a predetermined period of time, the common master diagnostic message being transmitted to each vehicle subsystem of the plurality of vehicle subsystems, and adjusting operation of at least a second one of the plurality of vehicle subsystems in response to receiving the master diagnostic message with the anomalous status for the first vehicle subsystem. A related diagnostic system is also provided.

Abstract: A vehicle program update system and a vehicle program update method are provided which update a vehicle program that is used to control a vehicle by an on-board control device mounted on the vehicle to an update program received by the vehicle from an external device separate from the vehicle via wireless communication. When the update of the vehicle program is completed, determination is made whether the updated vehicle program is normal. When determination is made that the updated vehicle program is not normal, control of the vehicle is switched from control that is performed by the on-board control device using the vehicle program to limp home control for performing a limp home operation in which the vehicle travels using a driving force from a vehicle driving force source without being controlled by the on-board control device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for controlling a vehicle. The processor determines whether a current driving situation of a broken vehicle in which the failure occurs is a parking mode or a driving mode, executes the parking mode logic such that the parking mode logic searches for a parking location of the broken vehicle and parks the broken vehicle at the parking location, when the current driving situation is the parking mode, executes the driving mode logic such that the broken vehicle drives on driving route excluding a ramp while the broken vehicle maintains a first inter-vehicle distance from a forward vehicle, when the current driving situation is the driving mode, and executes the driving mode logic such that the broken vehicle drives while the broken vehicle maintains a second inter-vehicle distance longer than the first inter-vehicle distance, when the driving route includes a congestion section.

Abstract: A transmission is subject to gear shift management that provides for shifting gears in a controlled manner in order to provide for a simplification of part and reduction in system complexity. In particular, a range synchronizer component can be replaced with a simplified range jaw clutch, without incurring a requirement for an installation of other components such as a motor generator or starter-generator.
