Abstract
A vehicle control system includes a receiver and a controller-circuit. The receiver is configured to receive a report of a control-event at a location. The control-event is characterized as an other-vehicle changing operation from an automated-mode of operation. The controller-circuit is in communication with the receiver. The controller-circuit is configured to, in response to receiving the report of the control-event at the location, plan a route for a host-vehicle in accordance with the location of the control-event, and operate the host-vehicle in accordance with the route.
Claims16
A vehicle control system, said system comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive a report of a control event at a location, said control event is another vehicle changing operation from an automated mode of operation;
- and
- a controller circuit in communication with the receiver, said controller circuit configured to, in response to receiving the report of the control event at the location, perform operations comprising:
- determine a probability that a host vehicle will repeat the control event at the location;
- determine if the probability is less than a risk threshold;
- plan a route for the host vehicle through the location of the control event in response to determining that the probability is less than the risk threshold;
- and
- operate the host vehicle in accordance with the route.
A controller circuit for a vehicle control system, said controller circuit comprising:
- an input configured to receive a report from a receiver of a control event at a location, said control event is another vehicle changing operation from an automated mode of operation;
- and
- a processor configured to, in response to receiving the report of the control event at the location, perform operations comprising:
- determining a probability that a host vehicle will repeat the control event at the location;
- determining if the probability is less than a risk threshold;
- planning a route for the host vehicle through the location of the control event in response to determining that the probability is less than a risk threshold;
- and
- operating the host vehicle in accordance with the route.
A method of operating a vehicle control system, said method comprising:
- receiving, by a controller circuit, a report of a control event at a location, wherein said control event is another vehicle changing operation from an automated mode of operation;
- in response to receiving the report of the control event at the location,
- determining a probability that a host vehicle will repeat the control event at the location;
- determining if the probability is less than a risk threshold;
- planning a route for the host vehicle through the location of the control event in response to determining that the probability is less than a risk threshold;
- and
- operating the host vehicle in accordance with the route by the controller circuit.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a controller circuit, a report of a control event at a location, wherein the control event is another vehicle changing operation from an automated mode of operation;
- determining, by the controller circuit, a probability that a host vehicle will repeat the control event at the location;
- planning, by the controller circuit, a route for the host vehicle in accordance with the probability, wherein planning the route comprises:
- planning a route for the host vehicle through the location of the control event responsive to determining that the probability is less than a risk threshold;
- or
- planning a route for the host vehicle avoiding the location of the control event responsive to determining that the probability is greater than the risk threshold;
- and
- operating, by the controller circuit, the host vehicle in accordance with the route.
