Abstract: An electronic device for stopping a vehicle can be activated automatically in the presence of an emergency stopping instruction. A module calculates at least one automatic movement setpoint of the vehicle in order to follow an emergency stopping trajectory comprising a plurality of successive emergency stopping vectors each associated with a separate segment of a portion of the successive segments of the predefined trajectory, from at least for each emergency stopping vector: a stored last actual movement vector of the autonomous vehicle, the predefined movement trajectory of the autonomous vehicle, and a stored last location datum of the autonomous vehicle, and delivered by at least one sensor of the autonomous vehicle. An emergency steering module is capable of steering the vehicle according to said at least one setpoint.

Abstract: An electronic device for monitoring a scene via a set of sensor(s) includes an acquisition module, of at least one representation of the scene via the sensor set, and a module for converting each representation into a respective occupancy grid. Each grid includes several zones, each corresponding to a respective portion of the representation, and each zone being in an occupied state if said portion contains an object and in an unoccupied state otherwise. The device also includes a module for calculating a differential grid corresponding to a difference between a current occupancy grid and a reference occupancy grid, by ignoring each zone of the reference grid which is in the occupied state and for which the corresponding zone of the current grid is in the unoccupied state, and a module for detecting a change in the scene, starting from the differential grid.

Abstract: A speed control method for controlling the speed of an autonomous vehicle provided with at least one autonomous driving module and one geolocation module, the vehicle being capable of following a route, which is predefined and segmented according to at least one segmentation comprising of a plurality of segments, each associated with: an interval of geolocation data; and a set of values for nominal maximum travel speed of the autonomous vehicle, each speed value being associated with a distinct time slot; the method comprising: the acquisition, from the on-board geolocation module, of an instantaneous geolocation data item of the autonomous vehicle associated with a time instant; as a function of the instantaneous geo-location data item and the time instant, the determination, of the segment currently being traversed and/or to be traversed, and of the associated nominal maximum speed value.

Abstract: An electronic device for monitoring a set of autonomous motor vehicles includes a detection module configured to detect an event associated with a plurality of vehicles from among the set of autonomous motor vehicles, a calculating module configured to calculate, as a function of the detected event, a setpoint for limiting the movement for each vehicle of said plurality of vehicles, and a transmission module configured to transmit the calculated setpoint(s) to the plurality of vehicles associated with the detected event.

Abstract: A system and a method automatically generate warnings intended for users of a road on board an automobile. The system includes sensors, an on-board programmable electronic device, and at least one audible or visual warning device. The programmable electronic device includes at least one processor configured to detect traffic elements, and a module for analyzing traffic elements, such that each detected traffic element is associated with a predetermined category and an associated confidence level is calculated. A module determines an at-risk situation from among a number of predetermined risk situations. At least one of the traffic elements is associated with at least one user of the road outside said vehicle. A command module warns the user of the road of the detected risk.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic device for generating an alert signal in a vehicle comprising: an identification module designed to identify at least two items of information from two different categories from at least one image from an image sensor, each category being chosen from: the presence of an animal or an object prohibited and/or abandoned by one of the passengers; a characteristic movement or posture of one of the passengers and the presence of a furnishing element of the vehicle; a detection module designed to detect an incident from the combination of two items of information from two different categories and from a warning rule associating the two items of information with said incident; and a generation module designed to generate an alert signal when an incident is detected.
