Abstract
A computer includes a processor and a memory, and the memory stores instructions executable to receive a message including kinematic states of a plurality of remote vehicles traveling on a road and actuate a component of a host vehicle based on the kinematic states of the remote vehicles from the message. The host vehicle is traveling on the road. The message specifies the kinematic state of each remote vehicle at least partially in terms of a position of the remote vehicle measured relative to a respective lane of the road.
Claims18
A system comprising:
- a sensor with a field of view encompassing a road;
- a transceiver;
- and
- a computer communicatively coupled with the sensor and the transceiver;
- the computer programmed to:
- generate a message based on data from the sensor, the message including kinematic states of a plurality of remote vehicles traveling on the road, the message specifying the kinematic state of each remote vehicle at least partially in terms of a position of that remote vehicle measured relative to a respective lane of the road, the message including a lateral offset of each remote vehicle, each lateral offset being measured from that remote vehicle to a boundary of the respective lane in which that remote vehicle is traveling;
- and
- instruct the transceiver to transmit the message to a host vehicle traveling on the road.
A method comprising:
- communicating a message from an infrastructure component to a host vehicle traveling on a road, the message including kinematic states of a plurality of remote vehicles traveling on the road, the message specifying the kinematic state of each remote vehicle at least partially in terms of a position of that remote vehicle measured relative to a respective lane of the road, the message including a lateral offset of each remote vehicle, each lateral offset being measured from that remote vehicle to a boundary of the respective lane in which that remote vehicle is traveling;
- and
- actuating a component of the host vehicle based on the kinematic states of the plurality of remote vehicles from the message.
