Abstract
A device, system and method for autonomous tactical vehicle control is provided. Data associated with a second vehicle pursued by the first vehicle is received at a computing device associated with the first vehicle. A plurality of tactical intercept maneuvers and associated risk factors are determined using the data. A tactical intercept maneuver is selected based on the respective risk factors. The first vehicle is controlled to autonomously perform the tactical intercept maneuver and/or a notification device is controlled to provide, at the first vehicle, guidance for an operator of the first vehicle to perform the tactical intercept maneuver using the first vehicle.
Claims20
A computing device comprising:
- a controller, and a communication interface, the computing device associated with a first vehicle, the controller configured to:
- receive, using the communication interface, data associated with a second vehicle pursued by the first vehicle;
- determine, using the data associated with the second vehicle, a plurality of tactical intercept maneuvers and respective risk factors associated with the plurality of tactical intercept maneuvers;
- select a tactical intercept maneuver, from the plurality of tactical intercept maneuvers, based on the respective risk factors;
- and,
- one or more of:
- cause the first vehicle to autonomously perform the tactical intercept maneuver;
- and,
- cause a notification device at the first vehicle to provide guidance for an operator of the first vehicle to perform the tactical intercept maneuver using the first vehicle.
