    Abstract: A learning system (10) for an automated vehicle to learn local traffic customs includes a location-detector (16), and object-detector (20), and a controller (24). The location-detector (16) indicates a location (34) of a host-vehicle (12) on a digital-map (18). The object-detector (20) detects a lane-marking (14) and other-vehicles (22) proximate to the host-vehicle (12). The controller (24) is in communication with the location-detector (16) and the object-detector (20). The controller (24) is configured to determine when an observed-behavior (32) of the other-vehicles (22) is not in accordance with the lane-marking (14) present at the location (34), and operate the host-vehicle (12) in accordance with the observed-behavior (32).

    Abstract: A lane management system (10) for operating an automated vehicle includes a navigation-device (20), a vehicle-detector (34), and a controller (40) suitable for use on a host-vehicle (12). The navigation-device (20) is used to determine a preferred-route (22) to a destination (16) of the host-vehicle (12). The vehicle-detector (34) is used to determine a relative-location (36) of an other-vehicle (38) proximate to the host-vehicle (12). The controller (40) is in communication with the navigation-device (20) and the vehicle-detector (34). The controller (40) is configured to determine an alternate-route (44) when the relative-location (36) is such that a preferred-lane (46) of the preferred-route (22) is obstructed whereby the host-vehicle (12) is unable to follow the preferred- route (22). Alternatively, the controller (40) is configured to determine an initiate-time (48) to perform a lane-change (52) necessary to maneuver the host-vehicle (12) into a preferred-lane (46) of the preferred-route (22) so the host-vehicle (12) can follow the preferred-route (22), wherein the initiate-time (48) is determined based on the relative-location (36).

    Abstract: An infrastructure-device status-verification system (10) suitable for use by an automated vehicle includes a transceiver (20), an object-detector (28), and a controller (32). The transceiver (20) is suitable to install on a host-vehicle (12). The transceiver (20) is used to receive an indicated-status (22) of an infrastructure-device (26). The object-detector (28) is suitable to install on the host-vehicle (12). The object-detector (28) is used to determine a detected- status (30) of the infrastructure-device (26). The controller (32) is in communication with the transceiver (20) and the object-detector (28). The controller (32) determines a confirmed-status (34) of the infrastructure-device (26) based on the indicated-status (22) and the detected-status (30). The system (10) provides for increased confidence and security regarding information about the status of an infrastructure-device (26) such as the traffic- signal (42) (e.g. red, yellow, and green), thereby avoid miss-information caused by, for example, hacking or spoofing of V2I communications from the infrastructure-device (26), and overcome instances when the field-of-view (36) between the object-detector (28) and the infrastructure-device 26 becomes occluded after the confirmed- status (34) has been established or determined.
