Abstract: A method and system for predicting a near future path for a vehicle. For predicting the near future path sensor data and vehicle driving data is collected. Road data is collected indicative of a roadway on the presently occupied road for the vehicle. The sensor data and the vehicle driving data is pre-processed to provide object data comprising a time series of previous positions, headings, and velocities of each of the objects relative the vehicle. The object data, the vehicle driving data, and the road data is processed in a deep neural network to predict the near future path for the vehicle. The invention also relates to a vehicle comprising the system.

Abstract: A method for predicting a trajectory of at least one secondary road user for avoiding a collision course with the secondary road user for a host vehicle. The method includes determining the present location for the host vehicle, retrieving a plurality of modelled clusters of trajectories for a present traffic situation, and detecting the position and speed of the at least one secondary road user. The method also includes predicting at least one feasible trajectory for the at least one secondary road user based on the position and the speed of the at least one secondary road user to the plurality of modelled clusters of trajectories and selecting at least one feasible trajectory of the feasible trajectories for each secondary road user based on a selection criterion. At least one action is performed based on the selected at least one feasible trajectory.

Abstract: Described herein is a method and system for assisting a driver of a vehicle (1) to drive with precaution. Vehicle environment monitoring sensors (3a, 3b) determines other road users and particular features associated with a traffic situation of the vehicle (1) and hypotheses are applied related to hypothetical threats that may arise based thereupon. A driver level of attention, required to handle the hypothetical threats, and a time until that level will be required is estimated. A current driver level of attention is derived, from driver-monitoring sensors (4). If determined that the estimated required driver level of attention exceeds the current and the time until the estimated driver level of attention will be required is less than a threshold-time (tthres), there is produced at least one of visual (5), acoustic (6) and haptic (7) information to a vehicle driver environment, and/or triggered at least one of automated braking (8) and steering (9) of the vehicle (1).

Abstract: A method for adjusting a safety margin threshold of one or more driver support functions of a vehicle, to be suitable for a driving zone in which the vehicle is—or is to be—positioned comprises determining a geographical position of the vehicle, determining a driving zone associated with the vehicle position, which driving zone is selected from one or more pre-defined geographical driving zones, deriving previous statistical driving behaviour data indicative of one or more statistical driving style safety indicators associated with the driving zone, and adjusting a safety margin threshold of at least a first driver support function of the vehicle, based on the one or more statistical driving style safety indicators. The disclosure also relates to a driver support threshold adapting system in accordance with the foregoing, and a vehicle at least partly comprising such a driver support threshold adapting system.

Abstract: A motor vehicle collision warning system is described, as well as an automotive vehicle including such a motor vehicle collision warning system. The motor vehicle collision warning system is adapted for analyzing an unwound amount of a driver safety belt and adding an additional distracted reaction time to a pre-set driver reaction time based on the analysis of the unwound amount of the driver safety in order to provide a collision warning earlier than a collision warning based on the pre-set driver reaction time when a driver is determined as being distracted.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a motor vehicle safety arrangement and method for positioning an occupant properly on a vehicle seat and restraining the occupant thus positioned in preparation of the vehicle potentially being subject to a rear-end collision. A safety belt is associated with the vehicle seat and an electric reversible safety belt retractor is associated with the safety belt. A rearward-looking detection system detects and classifies the collision risk for an approaching object. At least one sensor monitors one or more vehicle parameters. A control unit determines a driving state as critical or non-critical from the monitored vehicle parameters. The control unit controls the electric reversible safety belt retractor to apply a predetermined pullback force on the safety belt in response to the collision risk for an approaching object being classified as high within a predetermined time of an indicated critical driving state.

Abstract: An onboard perception system of a vehicle is contemplated. The system may include a state assessment unit adapted to at least assess a state of a first external object located in a vicinity of the vehicle hosting the onboard perception system, at least a first sensor assembly for assessing sound information, and an evaluation means adapted to evaluate a change in the state of the first external object by using the assessed sound information.

Abstract: A Virtual Network Computing (VNC) server functions as a web-based proxy server to facilitate peer-to-peer connections in a VNC environment. An objective of the web-based proxy server is to overcome limitations caused when a machine resides behind a firewall. In the configuration of the present invention, the web-based server performs the functions of a conventional client machine while a client in the peer-to-peer configuration performs the conventional server listening function.

Abstract: A method for reducing the risk of a collision between a vehicle and at least a first external object is contemplated. The risk of a collision may be reduced with use of a collision avoidance system having a detection unit adapted to issue a control signal in the event it detects a collision involving a first external object in a vicinity of the host vehicle, and an action unit adapted to operate the collision avoidance system such that an emergency maneuver can be initiated by the collision avoidance system at an earlier stage if the control signal is issued, as compared to when no control signal is issued.

Abstract: Web applications are deployed for execution within the existing framework of Open Services Gateway initiative (OSGi) when they are written in the commonly-employed Java™ (trademark of Sun Microsystems, Inc) 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) language. The intended deployment of J2EE web applications is detected and the J2EE application contents are converted into appropriate OSGi bundles using a provisioner. The provisioner employs its list of available provision providers to create the OSGi bundles that correspond to the J2EE application contents.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for a configurable JAVASERVER pages processing framework to process JAVASERVER pages (JSP). A JSP document or page is translated into a document object model (DOM) object that encapsulates elements of the JSP. The syntax of the JSP is validated by a JSP translator with built-in classes and errors are returned if necessary. A JSP visitor configuration file, which defines user configured classes and sequence of execution, is used by the JSP translator to invoke methods of user-defined classes in the order specified by the user to process or visit elements of the DOM object. Result of user-defined class processing may be passed from one class to another within the set.

Abstract: Extensible URI-pattern-based servlet request processing frameworks process and respond to requests for resources sent over a network by client programs to application programs in multi-tiered data processing systems. An extension processor component, an improved web container; and an improved web application architecture form the framework. The extension processor component includes one or more extension processor factories, each of which generates a single type of extension processor to handle specific application components. Each extension processor is adapted to respond to a request having a declared pattern. The extension processor factory resides within the web container and provides a list of patterns for which it is responsible. The extension factory also instantiates an extension processor to respond to a request having a pattern that matches that extension processor's declared pattern.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a pluggable and extendable J2EE architecture are provided. The method and apparatus provide mechanisms for defining extension points within modules of the J2EE application and mechanisms for defining plug-in or extension modules that may be integrated into the J2EE application via these extension points. In addition, a mechanism for merging the plug-in or extension modules into the J2EE application at deployment is provided such that all of the information necessary for generating instantiations of the plug-in or extension modules is integrated into the J2EE application configuration files. As a result, an integrated J2EE application is made possible from a modularized and extendable development of the J2EE application.

Abstract: A system and method of providing resource management in association with extensible Java Server Pages are provided. The system and method provide an interface for defining alternative input source, resource path and compilers for generating JSP servlets for processing JSP requests. A JSP provider may define an extensible translation context that identifies whether default translation operations or extensible translation operations are to be performed. With regard to extensible translation operations, the provider may establish one or more of an extensible input source factory, an extensible resource factory and an extensible compiler factory. These factories provide a mechanism through which input source objects, resource objects, and compiler objects for alternative translation and compilation of the JSP servlet.
