US 2024/0190433 A1 · LONGITUDINAL OFFSETS TO A PREDEFINED PATH

Abstract

A computer system comprising a processor device configured to handle a configuration of a predefined path is provided. The processor device is configured to, obtain a configuration of a predefined path. The configuration is indicative of operations to be performed at positions of the predefined path, each operation affects a longitudinal motion of at least one vehicle. The processor device is configured to obtain at least one distance for offsetting at least one position of the configuration. The processor device is configured to adjust the configuration by offsetting the at least one position of the configuration based on the obtained at least one distance. The processor device is configured to trigger the at least one vehicle to operate in the predefined path based on the adjusted configuration.
