Abstract: In a system, a parallel-parking number that is the number of the parking spaces aligned in the parallel-parking direction is acquired for each parking area. A vacancy number that is the number of vacant parking spaces is acquired for each parking area. Based on the parallel-parking number, a vacancy number threshold value is calculated that is a threshold value of the vacancy number for calculating a priority of each parking area, in one of which an automated-parking-target vehicle is to be parked. The priorities are calculated such that the priority of a parking area with the vacancy number equal to or larger than the vacancy number threshold value is higher than the priority of a parking area with the vacancy number smaller than the vacancy number threshold value. The automated-parking-target vehicle is caused to park preferentially in a parking space in the parking area with the higher priority.

Abstract: The vehicle control system/method for adapting a control function based on a user profile may comprise: a gesture recognition module; a user profile module; a function control module; a processor; a non-transitory storage element coupled to the processor; encoded instructions stored in the non-transitory storage element, wherein the encoded instructions when implemented by the processor, configure the system to: identify a user; retrieve a user profile for the identified user; receive at a gesture recognition module, an input indicating a gesture from the user; identify a control function request corresponding to the gesture input; send a verification of the control function request; and receive at a function control module characteristics parsed from the user profile that effect the control function request by the user profile module to adapt a control function command for an adapted control function output by the function control module.

Abstract: An enhanced broadcast data service with reports locations of traffic enforcement camera locations (e.g., red light cameras and speed cameras) to users. Traffic enforcement camera information is aggregated, verified (e.g., particularly as to traffic enforcement camera type) and stored (e.g., at a server). A broadcast signal comprising program channels and at least one data channel having traffic enforcement camera information is transmitted to a plurality of receivers. Receivers store at least a subset of the traffic enforcement camera information available from the server and synchronize to it using periodic transmitted updates. Receivers compare receiver location data with stored camera location data, and display or generate audible alerts when the receiver is within a selected geographic range of a traffic enforcement camera. Alerts can be filtered as to camera type. A alerts can employ different color camera icons superimposed on a screen map depending on camera type or whether the camera is newly added.

Abstract: A method for steering a vehicle along a path in a driveway and around obstacles between a starting position into a target position, comprises the steps of determining the vehicle dimensions, steering and driving capabilities, carrying out a path optimization step to evaluate, based on a predetermined cost function, the least costly path between the starting position and the target position avoiding any collisions with obstacles. The method further comprises the further step of applying a path improver step, smoothening the trajectory obtained by the path optimization method by means of numerical optimization while fulfilling dynamical constraints on acceleration and steering rate of the vehicle through planning lateral and longitudinal movement of the vehicle in a joint optimization problem or by means of separate optimization problems.

Abstract: A computing device includes: a communicator configured to communicate with a target vehicle and a plurality of vehicles; and a controller electrically connected to the communicator, wherein the controller is configured to collect vehicle data of the target vehicle and the plurality of vehicles, determine a traffic volume in an area in which the target vehicle is traveling, based on the collected vehicle data, determine a reference driving pattern based on the traffic volume in the area in which the target vehicle is traveling, determine a driving pattern of the target vehicle based on the vehicle data of the target vehicle, compare the driving pattern of the target vehicle with the reference driving pattern, and determine a safe driving index of the target vehicle based on a driving pattern difference between the driving pattern of the target vehicle and the reference driving pattern.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for managing vehicle driving by using V2X communication. More particularly, a reporting vehicle generates a driving message for reporting maneuver information of the reporting vehicle. The driving message includes the maneuver information associated with intended expected driving after a current time of the vehicle. The reporting vehicle receives a management message, as a response to the driving message, including vehicle driving management information for managing a driving operation of the reporting vehicle based on the maneuver information.

Abstract: A method includes calculating, by a vehicle system, a pose information for a vehicle having the vehicle system, determining, by the vehicle system, whether the calculated pose information matches that of a vehicle pose information received from an infrastructure system, updating, by the vehicle system, a current pose of the vehicle based on the calculated pose information, transmitting, by the vehicle system, a notification regarding the inaccurate pose information to the infrastructure system, and controlling, by the vehicle system, movement of the vehicle based on a stored marshaling route until a stop condition is satisfied.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a mapping application that has a novel way of displaying traffic congestion along roads in the map. The mapping application in some embodiments defines a traffic congestion representation to run parallel to its corresponding road portion when the map is viewed at a particular zoom level, and defines a traffic congestion representation to be placed over its corresponding mad portion when the map is viewed at another zoom level. The mapping application in some embodiments differentiates the appearance of the traffic congestion representation that signifies heavy traffic congestion from the appearance of the traffic congestion representation that signifies moderate traffic congestion. In some of these embodiments, the mapping application does not generate a traffic congestion representation for areas along a road that are not congested.
