Abstract: Systems, methods, models, and training for collision detection and near miss detection are discussed. Models are trained to identify collisions and near misses between two vehicles, based on how quickly a bounding box size changes for a vehicle represented in image data. Rapidly changing bounding box size is indicative of extreme proximity between vehicles, and thus indicative of collision or near-miss scenarios. Identifications of collisions or near misses can be reported to a remote operator, to send emergency assistance, perform driver evaluation, or alert other drivers in the area of risks.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device for controlling autonomous driving. For example, the device detects an event that causes a determination of whether to transfer control of a host vehicle to a user while the host vehicle operates in an autonomous driving mode, outputs a first notification based on not receiving a user response associated with the transfer of control, outputs a second notification based on not receiving the user response associated with the transfer of control, and control the host vehicle to reduce a travel speed of the host vehicle at a first rate.

Abstract: A driving evaluation method includes acquiring a tire force, calculating a proportion, and calculating an evaluation value. The acquiring of the tire force acquires a tire force generating while a vehicle is running. The calculating of the proportion calculates the proportion value by dividing the tire force acquired by the acquiring of the tire force by a load value. The calculating of the evaluation calculates the evaluation value by integrating the tire force for which the proportion value acquired by the calculating of the proportion value belongs to a range defined by a threshold value.

Abstract: A vehicle guidance system provides a driving function for automated longitudinal control of a vehicle. The vehicle guidance system is designed to detect, on the basis of environmental data, a first signaling unit which is located on the roadway on which the vehicle is traveling, in front of the vehicle in the direction of travel. The vehicle guidance system is furthermore designed to determine that a contradiction exists between the first signaling unit, detected on the basis of the environmental data, and map data in respect to a roadway network in which the vehicle is traveling. In addition, the vehicle guidance system is designed to effect a non-availability output in response thereto in order to inform a user of the vehicle that the first signaling unit detected on the basis of the environmental data is not taken into consideration in the driving function for automated longitudinal control of the vehicle.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes a computing system obtaining, via one or more sensors of a personal mobile vehicle (PMV), a reflection signal indicating a characteristic of a road surface of an environment external to the PMV. The computing system may determine one or more characteristic factors of the road surface of the environment external to the PMV based on the reflection signal. The computing system may generate a vulnerable road user (VRU) classification probability distribution by using a machine learning classifier. The VRU classification probability distribution indicates whether a combination of the one or more characteristic factors is associated with the VRU. The computing system may determine, based on the VRU classification probability distribution, that the road surface is associated with the VRU. The computing system may present an alert message to a display associated with the PMV.
