G01C 21/26
G01S 5/00
G01C 21/36
G08G 1/0967
G08G 1/04
G01S 5/16
G06T 7/70
G08G 1/01
G08G 1/017

Abstract:
A vehicle navigation system includes a camera and a controller. The camera is configured to render an image of a host-vehicle in a field-of-view of the camera. The camera located remote from the host-vehicle. The controller is installed on the host-vehicle. The controller is configured to receive the image and determine a vehicle-coordinate of the host-vehicle in accordance with a position of the host-vehicle in the image. The camera may be configured to superimpose gridlines on the image, and the controller may be configured to determine the position in accordance with the gridlines.

Vehicle Perception-Data Gathering System And Method

US Patent:
20190249999, Aug 15, 2019
Filed:
Feb 15, 2018
Appl. No.:
15/897566
Inventors:
- Troy MI, US
Michael H. Laur - Mission Viejo CA, US
Brian R. Hilnbrand - Mountain View CA, US
International Classification:
G01C 21/34
G08G 1/16
Abstract:
A system for gathering perception-data includes a transceiver and a controller-circuit. The transceiver is for installation on a host-vehicle. The transceiver is configured to receive perception-data from a perception-sensor installed on an assisting-vehicle proximate to the host-vehicle. The controller-circuit is in communication with the transceiver. The controller-circuit is configured to determine a preferred-perspective for gathering perception-data by the perception-sensor of the assisting-vehicle, and operate the transceiver to transmit a path-request to the assisting-vehicle that changes a planned-path of the assisting-vehicle to move the perception-sensor of the assisting-vehicle to the preferred-perspective

Vehicle Map-Data Gathering System And Method

View page
US Patent:
20190250632, Aug 15, 2019
Filed:
Feb 27, 2018
Appl. No.:
15/906003
Inventors:
- Troy MI, US
Michael H. Laur - Mission Viejo CA, US
Brian R. Hilnbrand - Mountain View CA, US
International Classification:
G05D 1/02
G05D 1/00
Abstract:
A map-data collection system for mapping an area includes a first sensor, a receiver, and a controller-circuit. The first-sensor is for installation on a first-vehicle. The first-sensor is configured to gather perception-data of an area from a first-perspective. The receiver is for installation on the first-vehicle. The receiver is configured to receive perception-data gathered by a second-sensor mounted on a second-vehicle proximate to the first-vehicle. The second-sensor is configured to gather perception-data of the area from a second-perspective different from the first-perspective. The controller-circuit is in communication with the first-sensor and the receiver. The controller-circuit is configured to determine composite-data in accordance with the perception-data from the first-sensor on the first-vehicle and the perception-data from the second-sensor on the second-vehicle. Optionally, the first-vehicle may communicate with the second-vehicle in a manner effective to control the relative-position of the first-vehicle and the second-vehicle while the perception-date is being collected.

Traffic Control System

US Patent:
20190236949, Aug 1, 2019
Filed:
Feb 15, 2018
Appl. No.:
15/897542
Inventors:
- Troy MI, US
Michael H. Laur - Mission Viejo CA, US
Brian R. Hilnbrand - Mountain View CA, US
International Classification:
G08G 1/0967
G08G 1/01
B60W 30/18
Abstract:
A traffic control system includes a detector and a controller-circuit. The detector is configured to detect a traffic-situation characterized as inhibiting traffic-flow. The controller-circuit is configured to communicate with the detector and a traffic-device. The traffic-device is operable to indicate a lane-designation of a travel-lane. The controller-circuit is configured to send a request to the traffic-device indicative of a desired-designation of the travel-lane in accordance with a determination by the controller-circuit that the traffic-situation has occurred.

Automated Vehicle System And Method For Changing From Automated-Mode To Manual-Mode Near A Construction-Zone

View page
US Patent:
20190196466, Jun 27, 2019
Filed:
Dec 29, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/858148
Inventors:
- Troy MI, US
Michael H. Laur - Mission Viejo CA, US
Brian R. Hilnbrand - Mountain View CA, US
International Classification:
G05D 1/00
Abstract:
A system and method for operating an automated vehicle includes providing a detector and a controller-circuit. The detector is configured to detect construction-objects. The controller-circuit is configured to, in accordance with a detection of a construction-object by the detector, determine that a host-vehicle is proximate to a construction-zone. The controller-circuit and the method is also configured to, in accordance with a determination that the host-vehicle is proximate the construction-zone, change control of the host-vehicle from an automated-mode characterized by the controller-circuit steering the host-vehicle to a manual-mode characterized by an occupant of the host-vehicle steering the host-vehicle.
