Abstract
An automated driving system (ADS) includes an automation control module for controlling one or more driving functions of a vehicle, and a safety control module for determining one or more operating conditions relevant to the safety performance of the vehicle, such as driver awareness and processor temperature. The automation control module is configured to automatically adjust the speed of the vehicle based on the one or more operating conditions determined by the safety control module.
Claims20
An automated driving system, comprising:
- an automation control module for controlling one or more driving functions of a vehicle;
- and
- a safety control module for determining one or more operating conditions relevant to a safety performance of the vehicle,
- wherein the automation control module is configured to automatically adjust a speed of the vehicle based on the one or more operating conditions determined by the safety control module.
An automated driving system, comprising:
- a driver awareness module for determining a level of driver awareness based on one or more driver awareness inputs;
- and
- an automation control module for controlling one or more driving functions of a vehicle and being operable at a lower automation level and a higher automation level,
- wherein the automation control module is configured to activate the higher automation level in response to the driver awareness module determining that the level of driver awareness is below an awareness threshold.
An automated driving system, comprising:
- an automation control module for controlling one or more driving functions of a vehicle;
- and
- a temperature control module for identifying a processor overheating scenario, wherein the processor overheating scenario leads to the automation control module exceeding an operating temperature threshold,
- wherein the automation control module is configured to reduce a speed of the vehicle in response to the temperature control module identifying the processor overheating scenario.
