  • Patent number: 11654956
    Abstract: A vehicle steering intervention system and method prevents a loss of vehicle control condition or a vehicle rollover condition. The system includes a driver input torque sensor for sensing torque applied by a driver to a steering wheel, a steering angle sensor for sensing a steering angle, and a speed determination device for determining a vehicle speed. An electronic power steering unit includes an electronic processor and a memory. The electronic power steering unit determines a vehicle steering intervention threshold based on the torque sensed, the steering angle, and the vehicle speed. The electronic power steering unit predicts whether the vehicle steering intervention threshold will be exceeded within a predetermined time based on a torque gradient and/or a steering angle gradient. When the vehicle steering intervention threshold is predicted to be exceeded, the electronic power steering unit reduces a power steering assist and/or provides a counter steer force.

  • Patent number: 11654965
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for steering control during vehicle reverse operation when maneuvering a trailer in a reverse direction with a desired turn angle. The system has a P-I-D cascade structure and includes a rear video camera for providing images to determine a trailer angle, a yaw angle determination device, a steering angle sensor, a vehicle interior display with an input device, and a vehicle speed determination device. When a trajectory mode is selected and a desired turn angle value are received, an electronic processor determines a trailer trajectory based on the desired turn angle value, the trailer angle, vehicle yaw angle, and physical properties of the vehicle and trailer. The trailer trajectory is displayed on the vehicle interior display with the rear camera image. When a driver selects an automatic steering maneuver mode, the trailer tow assist system automatically controls steering of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11657290
    Abstract: A machine learning system includes encoder and decoder networks. The machine learning system is configured to obtain input data, which includes sensor data and a radius of an p norm ball of admissible perturbations. Input bounding data is generated based on the input data. First bounding data and second bounding data are generated by respectively propagating the input bounding data on first and second outputs of the encoder network. Third bounding data is generated in association with a latent variable based on the first bounding data and the second bounding data. Fourth bounding data is generated by propagating the third bounding data on an output of the decoder network. A robustness certificate is established with respect to the input data by generating a lower bound of an evidence lower bound based on the first, second, third, and fourth bounding data.
