A navigation system (10) suitable for use by an automated vehicle includes a first sensor (22), a second sensor (36), a digital-map (44), and a controller (46). The digital- map (44) includes a first data-group (48) of navigation-features (42) preferentially detected by the first sensor-technology (34), and a second data-group (50) of navigation- features (42) preferentially detected by the second sensor- technology (40). The controller (46) determines, on the digital-map (44), first and second locations of the host-vehicle (12) using the first and second sensors (20), respectively. The controller (46) selects one of the first and second locations to navigate the host-vehicle (12) based on a comparison of the first data-density (64) and the second data-density (66). Alternatively, the controller (46) determines a first feature-density (92) and a second feature-density (94) of navigation-features (42) detected by the first and second sensors (20) respectively, and selects one of the first location (52) and the second location (54) to navigate the host- vehicle (12) based on a comparison of the first feature-density (92) and the second feature-density (94).
摘要:
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).

摘要:
A vehicle control system (10) for operating an automated vehicle in a fashion more conducive to comfort of an occupant (14) of the automated vehicle includes a sensor (20), an electronic-horizon database (32), vehicle-controls (16), and a controller (36). The sensor (20) is used to determine a centerline (22) of a travel-lane (24) traveled by a host-vehicle (12). The electronic-horizon database (32) indicates a shape (34) of the travel-lane (24) beyond where the sensor (20) is able to detect the travel-lane (24). The vehicle-controls (16) are operable to control motion of the host-vehicle (12). The controller (36) is configured to determine when the database (32) indicates that following the shape (34) of the travel-lane (24) beyond where the sensor (20) is able to detect the travel-lane (24) will make following the centerline (22) by the host-vehicle (12) uncomfortable (38) to an occupant (14) of the host-vehicle (12), and operate the vehicle- controls (16) to steer the host-vehicle (12) away from the centerline (22) when following the centerline (22) will make the occupant (14) uncomfortable (38).
