    摘要: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system and method for lane marking localization that may be utilized by autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicles traveling within the lane. In the embodiment, the system comprises a locating device adapted to determine the vehicle's geographic location; a database; a region map; a response map; a camera; and a computer connected to the locating device, database, and camera, wherein the computer is adapted to: receive the region map, wherein the region map corresponds to a specified geographic location; generate the response map by receiving information form the camera, the information relating to the environment in which the vehicle is located; identifying lane markers observed by the camera; and plotting identified lane markers on the response map; compare the response map to the region map; and generate a predicted vehicle location based on the comparison of the response map and region map.

    摘要: In an example, a method of generating flight paths for navigating an aircraft is provided. The method includes hovering the aircraft at a predetermined hover point. The predetermined hover point corresponds to a first takeoff waypoint of a first trajectory of the aircraft. The method includes scanning at least a portion of a first flight path of the first trajectory. The method includes determining that an obstacle obstructs the first flight path of the first trajectory. The first flight path begins at the first takeoff waypoint. The method includes determining a second takeoff waypoint. Determining the second takeoff waypoint includes assigning the first flight path to begin at the second takeoff waypoint. The method includes changing the first flight path of the first trajectory in accordance with the second takeoff waypoint, thereby forming a second flight path of a second trajectory. The method includes causing the aircraft to follow the second flight path of the second trajectory from the second takeoff waypoint.

    摘要: A simulator is provided for dynamically testing and evaluating an electromagnetic radiation in real-time. The performance of radiation from a system-under-test is evaluated as it interacts with a moving target in an ever-changing simulated environment. The simulator includes a computer for synchronized control of a PNT database and of an environmental database. In detail, the PNT database contains Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) information of the target, and the environmental database contains information pertaining to meteorological conditions and topographical characteristics in the simulated environment. In combination, the computer evaluates a synchronized interaction of the electromagnetic radiation with the PNT information from the PNT database, under conditions set by the environmental database. A response record for evaluating a performance of the system-under-test is thereby created.

    摘要: A method according to the present invention includes calculating, based on a reported position of a vehicle, a probability that an actual position of the vehicle is within a region of interest. The method further includes determining whether a threat of a collision exists between the vehicle and an object based on the probability that the actual position of the vehicle is within the region of interest and a reported position of the object. The method further includes generating an alert if it is determined a threat of a collision exists between the vehicle and the object.

    摘要: A driving assist ECU which performs collision avoidance control for the target based on a detection result of a target around an own vehicle by a radar device acquires, at a predetermined cycle, angle deviation information of the radar device in the vertical direction, the angle deviation information being calculated from a detection position of the target, and calculates an axis deviation angle by performing statistical processing of a history of the angle deviation information acquired after activation, the axis deviation angle being a deviation amount of a mounting angle of the radar device in the vertical direction. Until a predetermined initial time period elapses after the activation, a limitation is imposed on the collision avoidance control for, among targets detected by the radar device, a stationary target which is a target corresponding to a stationary object.
