US 2022/0092985 A1 · VARIABLE THRESHOLD FOR IN-PATH OBJECT DETECTION

Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for controlling a vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes: receiving, by a processor, real-time lane width data based on a current location of the vehicle; computing, by the processor, an in-path threshold based on the real-time lane width; receiving, by the processor, real-time distance data based on a distance between a center of the vehicle and a lane edge; computing, by the processor, an offset value based on the real-time distance data; applying, by the processor, the offset value to the in-path threshold; tracking, by the processor, a position of objects within the field of view of the vehicle sensor system based on the in-path threshold; and controlling, by the processor, the vehicle based on the tracking of the objects.
