Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods are provided for enhanced obstacle detection. A vehicle may detect a neighboring vehicle traveling on a first road in a first traffic direction in a vicinity of the vehicle. The vehicle may collect data associated with the neighboring vehicle using one or more sensors of the vehicle. The vehicle may determine a status of the neighboring vehicle at a geolocation of the neighboring vehicle based on the collected data. The vehicle may determine that a first road anomaly occurred at the geolocation based on the status of the neighboring vehicle. The vehicle may set a first flag indicating the first road anomaly. The vehicle may determine to take a first action based on the first flag.
Claims34
A vehicle comprising processing circuitry coupled to storage, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
- detect a neighboring vehicle traveling on a first road in a first traffic direction in a vicinity of the vehicle;
- collect data associated with the neighboring vehicle using one or more sensors of the vehicle;
- generate a status of the neighboring vehicle at a geolocation of the neighboring vehicle based on the collected data;
- set a first flag in response to the status of the neighboring vehicle indicating that a first road anomaly has occurred at the geolocation;
- and
- output a first signal indicative of undertaking a first action based on the first flag.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors of a subject vehicle result in performing operations comprising:
- detecting a neighboring vehicle traveling on a first road in a first traffic direction in a vicinity of the subject vehicle;
- collecting data associated with the neighboring vehicle using one or more sensors of the subject vehicle;
- generating a status of the neighboring vehicle at a geolocation of the neighboring vehicle based on the collected data;
- setting a first flag in response to the status of the neighboring vehicle indicating that a first road anomaly has occurred at the geolocation;
- and
- outputting a signal indicative of undertaking an action based on the first flag.
A method comprising:
- detecting, by one or more processors of a subject vehicle, a leading vehicle traveling on a road in a same traffic direction as the subject vehicle;
- collecting data associated with the leading vehicle;
- generating a status of the leading vehicle at a geolocation of the leading vehicle based on the collected data;
- setting a flag in response to the status of the leading vehicle indicating that a first road anomaly has occurred at the geolocation;
- and
- outputting a signal indicative of undertaking an action based on the set flag.
A subject vehicle comprising processing circuitry coupled to storage, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
- collect data associated with a first vehicle traveling on a first road in a first traffic direction in a vicinity of the subject vehicle, wherein the data comprises a first flag indicating that a first road anomaly has occurred at a geolocation;
- and
- output a first signal indicative of undertaking a first action based on the first flag.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors of a subject vehicle result in performing operations comprising:
- collecting data associated with a first vehicle traveling on a first road in a first traffic direction in a vicinity of the subject vehicle, wherein the data comprises a first flag indicating that a first road anomaly has occurred at a geolocation;
- and
- outputting a signal indicative of undertaking an action based on the first flag.
