Abstract
A method for operating a mobile platform includes selecting a first sensor associated with a higher weight as a selected sensor among at least two sensors, the weight is among a plurality of weights assigned to the sensors associated with a statistical weight function; detecting a malfunction in the first sensor communicating with a sensor controller associated with the mobile platform, and switching to a second sensor associated with a lower weight as the selected sensor to communicate with the sensor controller based upon the detecting.
Claims20
A method for operating a mobile platform, comprising:
- selecting a first sensor as a selected sensor among two sensors with respective weights, the first sensor being associated with a higher weight;
- detecting a malfunction in the first sensor communicating with a sensor controller associated with the mobile platform;
- and
- switching to a second sensor as the selected sensor associated with a lower weight to communicate with the sensor controller based upon the detecting.
An apparatus for operating a mobile platform, comprising:
- a sensor controller associated with the mobile platform;
- wherein the sensor controller comprises one or more processors configured to:
- select a first sensor as a selected sensor among two sensors with respective weights, the first sensor being associated with a higher weight;
- detect a malfunction in the first sensor communicating with the sensor controller;
- and
- switch to a second sensor associated with a lower weight as the selected sensor to communicate with the sensor controller based upon the malfunction.
