Controlling host vehicle based on detection of a one-way road

A method for detecting whether a road on which a host vehicle travels is a one-way road, the method comprising:

• receiving, from an image capture device, at least one image associated with an environment of the host vehicle;
• identifying, based on analysis of the at least one image, a first plurality of vehicles on a first side of the road and
• a second plurality of vehicles on a second side of the road;
• determining, based on analysis of the at least one image, a first tilting direction associated with the first plurality of vehicles
• and a second tilting direction associated with the second plurality of vehicles;
• determining, based on a comparison of the first tilting direction and the second tilting direction, that the road is a one-way road;
• and
• responsive to the determination that the road is a one-way road, causing at least one navigational response by the host vehicle.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, which, when executed by at least one processing device, perform a method comprising:

• receiving, from an image capture device, at least one image associated with an environment of a host vehicle;
• identifying, based on analysis of the at least one image, a first plurality of vehicles on a first side of a road and
• a second plurality of vehicles on a second side of the road;
• determining, based on analysis of the at least one image, a first tilting direction associated with the first plurality of vehicles
• and a second tilting direction associated with the second plurality of vehicles;
• determining, based on a comparison of the first tilting direction and the second tilting direction, that the road is a one-way road;
• and
• responsive to the determination that the road is a one-way road, causing at least one navigational response by the host vehicle.

A system for navigating a host vehicle, the system comprising:

• at least one processing device programmed to:
• receive a navigation instruction to navigate the host vehicle from a first road on which the host vehicle is traveling to a second road;
• receive, from an image capture device, at least one image associated with an environment of the host vehicle and depicting at least a portion of the second road;
• identify, based on analysis of the at least one image, a first plurality of vehicles on a first side of the second road
• and a second plurality of vehicles on a second side of the second road;
• determine, based on analysis of the at least one image, a first tilting direction associated with the first plurality of vehicles
• and a second tilting direction associated with the second plurality of vehicles;
• determine, based on a comparison of the first tilting direction and the second tilting direction, that the second road is a one-way road in a first direction;
• and
• suspend the navigation instruction in response to the determination that the first facing direction is opposite to a heading direction the host vehicle would travel if the host vehicle were to navigate onto the second road.
