Abstract
Acceleration data is received for each of a plurality of times t1 . . . tn, from one or more components in a host vehicle. A traffic jam assist (TJA) system is based on the acceleration data, thereby actuating one or more of steering, braking, and propulsion.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving acceleration data, for each of a plurality of times t1 . . . tn, from one or more components in a host vehicle;
- and
- activating a traffic jam assist (TJA) system based on the acceleration data, thereby actuating one or more of steering, braking, and propulsion.
A computer, comprising a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
- receive acceleration data, for each of a plurality of times t1 . . . tn, from one or more components in a host vehicle;
- and
- activate a traffic jam assist (TJA) system based on the acceleration data, thereby actuating one or more of steering, braking, and propulsion.
A system, comprising:
- a vehicle communication network;
- a traffic jam assist (TJA) system communicatively coupled to the vehicle communication network;
- and
- a computer that is communicatively coupled to the vehicle communication network and that includes a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to receive acceleration data, for each of a plurality of times t1 . . . tn, from one or more components in a host vehicle, and provide a command to activate the (TJA) system based on the acceleration data, thereby actuating one or more of steering, braking, and propulsion.
