  • Patent number: 12365417
    Abstract: The present invention obtains a controller capable of handling special travel made by a straddle-type vehicle. The present invention also obtains a rider-assistance system including such a controller. The present invention further obtains a control method capable of handling special travel made by a straddle-type vehicle. Surrounding environment information of a straddle-type vehicle (100) is acquired on the basis of output of at least one surrounding environment detector (11). Then, based on the surrounding environment information, presence or absence of slip-by travel between rows of vehicles made by the straddle-type vehicle (100) is analyzed.

  • Patent number: 12367377
    Abstract: A computer-implemented prediction method of making time-series predictions for controlling and/or monitoring a computer-controlled system, such as a semi-autonomous vehicle. The method uses a time series of one or more observed states. A state comprises values of measurable quantities of multiple interacting objects. Based on the observed states, values of time-invariant latent features for the multiple objects are determined, for example, according to an encoder model. A decoder model is then used to predict at least one next state. This involves applying a trained graph model to obtain a first prediction contribution based on an object's interactions with other objects, and applying a trained function to obtain a second prediction contribution based just on information about the object itself. Based on the predicted next state, output data is generated for use in controlling and/or monitoring the computer-controlled system.

  • Patent number: 12365338
    Abstract: A method and device for longitudinal control of a vehicle as a function of a target trajectory, which specifies a series of target positions to be assumed by the vehicle over time. A controller actuating acceleration for trajectory control is determined based on an actual state of the vehicle. When the vehicle is following the target trajectory, a curvature of the target trajectory at a current position of the vehicle is determined from a local course of the target trajectory. Furthermore, when the vehicle is following the target trajectory, a longitudinal acceleration resulting from the target trajectory is determined as the current trajectory acceleration at the current position of the vehicle and the controller actuating acceleration is limited to a value that corresponds at most to a sum of the current trajectory acceleration and the acceleration offset. The vehicle is accelerated in accordance with the limited controller actuating acceleration.

  • Patent number: 12361283
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for training a neural network including a neural ordinary differential equation (ODE) block. A first ODE solver may be used to train the neural ODE block. A second ODE solver may be used to train and verify that the neural ODE block describes an ODE as an ODE flow. During a forward pass of an iteration of training, a first performance value is obtained by applying the first ODE solver to the neural ODE block and a second performance value is obtained by applying the second ODE solver to the neural ODE block. An accuracy parameter of the first ODE solver is adjusted based on the difference between the first performance value and the second performance value.
