  • Patent number: 10678249
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for intersection control includes detecting an uncontrolled intersection ahead of the first vehicle travelling along a first road. The uncontrolled intersection includes an entry to a second road. The method includes detecting a start point of the entry and an end point of the entry with respect to the first vehicle using curb detection. The method includes predicting intent of a second vehicle to traverse through the entry, and controlling the first vehicle to allow the traversal through the entry by the second vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10614320
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for lane detection includes receiving a road image from an image capture device, detecting a first solid line marking and a second solid line marking outside of the first solid line marking in the binary road image. The first solid line marking and the second solid line marking are non-parallel lines. The method includes calculating a first distance between a first point of the first solid line marking and a first point of the second solid line marking. The first points being in a top portion of the binary road image. The method includes calculating a second distance between a second point of the first solid line marking and a second point of the second solid line marking. The second points being in a bottom portion of the binary road image. Further, the method includes determining a merging lane based the first distance and the second distance.

  • Publication number: 20170122243
    Abstract: A system for supplying fuel to an engine is disclosed. The system includes a first sensing unit for determining multiple operating parameters and multiple ambient conditions of the engine. The system includes an adaptive adjustment mechanism, a pressure regulator having a first valve and a second valve, and a controller communicating with the adaptive adjustment mechanism and the pressure regulator. The controller determines a first error and a second error associated with a pressure of a fuel supply to a pre-combustion chamber and a main combustion chamber, respectively, and receives an output signal indicative of an adjustment factor determined by the adaptive adjustment mechanism. The controller controls the first valve and the second valve based on the first error, the second error, and the output signal, to supply the fuel to the pre-combustion chamber and the main combustion chamber at a first pressure and a second pressure, respectively.
