The roadgraph may also include one or more zones associated with particular rules. The zones may include locations where driving is typically challenging such as merges, construction zones, or other obstacles. In one example, the rules may require an autonomous vehicle to alert a driver that the vehicle is approaching a zone. The vehicle may thus require a driver to take control of steering, acceleration, deceleration, etc. In another example, the zones may be designated by a driver and may be broadcast to other nearby vehicles, for example using a radio link or other network such that other vehicles may be able to observer the same rule at the same location or at least notify the other vehicle's drivers that another driver felt the location was unsafe for autonomous driving.

There is no consideration on performing charging control on a battery necessary for limp-home travel according to a travel environment of a vehicle. It is assumed that the vehicle changes a travel lane to a second travel lane by overtaking or the like between time t and t. The second power generation threshold generation unit refers to the lookup table illustrated in FIG. and reads as the second charging threshold SOCth. Then, the second charging threshold SOCth is larger than the first charging threshold SOCth as illustrated in FIG. (C), and thus, the threshold selection unit outputs the second charging threshold SOCth as the selected charging threshold SOCth. At this time, the SOC of the battery is lower than the charging threshold SOCth, and thus, the power generation command value GEN is turned on at time t, and the power generation engine is started to charge the battery. As a result, when the vehicle is traveling on the second travel lane which is far from an evacuation road , a large amount of energy is required for a limp-home operation for returning to the evacuation road , and thus, the battery can be sufficiently charged. 1.

Apparatuses and methods for evaluating the risk factors of a proposed vehicle maneuver using remote data are disclosed. In embodiments, a computer-assisted/autonomous driving vehicle communicates with one or more remote data sources to obtain remote sensor data, and process such remote sensor data to determine the risk of a proposed vehicle maneuver. A remote data source may be authenticated and validated, such as by correlation with other remote data sources and/or local sensor data. Correlation may include performing object recognition upon the remote data sources and local sensor data. Risk evaluation is performed on the validated data, and the results of the risk evaluation presented to a vehicle operator or to an autonomous vehicle navigation system.

A lead autonomous vehicle (AV) includes a sensor configured to observe a field of view in front of the lead AV. Following AVs are on the same road behind the lead AV. A processor of the lead AV is configured to detect a road closure. The processor overrides driving instructions of the lead AV, such that the lead AV is stopped at first location coordinates. The processor sends a first message to an operation server, indicating that the road closure is detected. The operation server update the first portion of the map data, reflecting the road closure. The operation server determines whether re-routing is possible for each AV. If re-routing is possible is possible for that AV, the operation server sends re-routing instructions to the AV. If re-routing is not possible is possible for that AV, the operation server sends pulling over instructions to the AV. 1. A system , comprising:a lead autonomous vehicle comprising at least one vehicle sensor located on the lead autonomous vehicle and configured to observe a first field-of-view comprising a region in front of the lead autonomous vehicle;{'claim-text': ['the lead autonomous vehicle is on a particular road heading toward a destination using a first routing plan and map data previously received from an operation server;', 'the one or more following autonomous vehicles are on the particular road behind the lead autonomous vehicle; and', 'the lead autonomous vehicle and the one or more following autonomous vehicles are communicatively coupled with the operation server;'], '#text': 'one or more following autonomous vehicles, different from the lead autonomous vehicle, wherein:'}{'claim-text': ['receive sensor data from the at least one vehicle sensor of the lead autonomous vehicle, wherein the sensor data comprises location coordinates of any object on the particular road within the first field-of-view of the lead autonomous vehicle;', 'compare the sensor data with a first portion of the map data, wherein the first portion ...

A driving control method of a hybrid vehicle is provided. The method includes acquiring link information on each of a current link in which the vehicle currently travels in an electric vehicle (EV) mode and a forward link connected to the current link ahead of the current link. A first average driving load of the current line and a second average driving load of the forward link are calculated based on the acquired link information. When the second average driving load is greater than the first average driving load a minimum required state of charge (SoC) based on the second average driving load and a preset driving mode switch reference are determined. 1. A driving control method of a hybrid vehicle , comprising:acquiring, by a controller, link information on each of a current link in which the vehicle currently travels in an electric vehicle (EV) mode and a forward link connected to the current link ahead of the current link;calculating, by the controller, a first average driving load of the current line and a second average driving load of the forward link, based on the acquired link information;in response to determining that the second average driving load is greater than the first average driving load, determining, by the controller, a minimum required state of charge (SoC) based on the second average driving load and a preset driving mode switch reference; anddetermining, by the controller, whether to change the driving mode switch reference based on first average driving power required to travel in the current link in the EV mode based on the first average driving load and maximum EV driving power based on a maximum SoC reduction rate to satisfy the minimum required SoC at a time point of entry into the forward link.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining whether the driving mode switch reference is changed includes changing the driving mode switch reference to the minimum required SoC in response to determining that the first average driving ...

Method and device for autonomous driving of a vehicle on a roadway in a direction of travel. A trajectory for driving on the roadway in the direction of travel is determined. A bending strip of limited length defines the trajectory, wherein the bending strip is fixed at one end thereof in a node which defines a starting point of the trajectory. A course of the trajectory is determined, starting from the starting point, in dependence on a bending line of the bending strip, which line extends, starting from the node, to the other end of the bending strip. A representation of a roadway boundary defines a boundary condition for the determination of the trajectory. A quality measure is defined in dependence on a property of the bending strip. The bending line which satisfies the boundary condition and for which the quality measure has an extremal value is determined. 1. A method for autonomous driving of a vehicle on a roadway in a direction of travel , said method comprising:determining a trajectory for driving on the roadway in the direction of travel based upon a model of a bending strip of limited length that is fixed at one end thereof in a node which defines a starting point of the trajectory,determining a course of the trajectory, starting from the starting point, in dependence on a bending line of the bending strip, which bending line extends, starting from the node, to the other end of the bending strip,wherein a representation of a roadway boundary defines a boundary condition for the determination of the trajectory,defining a quality measure in dependence on a property of the bending strip,determining, by a principle of virtual displacement, the bending line which satisfies the boundary condition and for which the quality measure has an extremal value.2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the quality measure is defined by a curvature of the bending line claim 1 , wherein the bending line of which the curvature is minimal is determined.3. The method as ...
