    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a control system for a vehicle, the control system comprising at least one controller and being configured to: obtain image data relating to terrain to be traversed by the vehicle, and for each of a plurality of sub-regions of the image data: determine probability data relating to whether the respective sub-region relates to a path region or a non-path region of the terrain; and determine a cost for the vehicle to traverse a portion of the terrain to which the sub-region relates depending on the probability data meeting one or more path probability criteria indicating that the sub-region relates to the path region, one or more non-path probability criteria indicating that the sub-region relates to the non-path region or neither the path probability criteria nor the non-path probability criteria; and determining a vehicle path in dependence on the determined costs.

    摘要: To provide a vehicle position processing apparatus, a vehicle control apparatus, a vehicle position processing method, and a vehicle control method capable of increasing the number of the position information of front object used for generation of the trajectory and improving the generation accuracy of the trajectory. A vehicle position processing apparatus, a vehicle control apparatus, a vehicle position processing method, and a vehicle control method that obtains positions of a target object, sets a trajectory generation range which is a continuous range including a position of the target object close to a position of the present own vehicle, selects positions of the target object included in the trajectory generation range among the plural positions of the target object, as target object positions for trajectory generation, and generates a trajectory of the target object based on the target object positions for trajectory generation.

    摘要: Techniques for determining a safety margin by which to limit trajectory(ies) generated by a vehicle control system such that the vehicle will not exceed the safety margin more than a target occurrence rate. The techniques may include determining a first spectrum associated with trajectory data generated by one or more vehicles, generating a model of a vehicle, and determining a spectrum of an error signal based at least in part on the model and the first spectrum. Determining the safety margin may be based at least in part on the spectrum of the error signal and a target occurrence rate. Operation characteristics of components of the vehicle (e.g., controller, steering actuator) may be tuned based at least in part on the model, first spectrum, and/or second spectrum. The techniques enable determining safety margins for untested vehicles and/or for different operating states of a vehicle.

    摘要: In a vehicle control device, a switching hyperplane generation unit generates a switching hyperplane based on a travel state of a vehicle and cornering stiffness dependent on a travel surface state as a state of a road surface on which the vehicle travels. A deviation computation unit calculates a deviation between a target trajectory and an actual trajectory of the vehicle. A state estimation unit estimates a state to be controlled of the vehicle based on the deviation calculated by the deviation computation unit. A target steering angle and acceleration/deceleration computation unit calculates a target steering angle and a target acceleration/deceleration rate of the vehicle based on the switching hyperplane generated by the switching hyperplane generation unit and an estimated state as the state estimated by the state estimation unit.

    摘要: A method of simulating a sensor in an autonomous driving simulation includes obtaining values for a plurality of attributes of a target object to be sensed by a sensor simulator in the autonomous driving simulation. The sensor simulator may simulate an active sensor that outputs rays to an object and receives reflections of the rays from the object. The method also includes inputting the obtained values for the plurality of attributes to a predetermined reflection rate table to obtain a reflection rate mapped to the obtained values; and generating sensor data corresponding to the target object based on the obtained reflection rate.

    摘要: A vehicle driving support apparatus includes a forward environment recognizing device configured to recognize a traveling environment forward of a vehicle, a control device configured to perform adaptive cruise control and active lane keep centering control based on the recognized traveling environment, an electric power steering device configured to control a turning angle of wheels in a ganged manner in accordance with a steering angle received from a steering handle, and a driver monitoring system configured to detect changes in biological information of a driver who drives the vehicle. When the driver monitoring system detects a drop in alertness of the driver, the control device is configured to perform the adaptive cruise control and the active lane keep centering control and execute a steering handle idle mode that stops the electric power steering device from controlling the turning angle in the ganged manner in accordance with the steering angle.
