  • Lane generation
    Patent number: 11465620
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a lane generator that is configured to receive information that describes a first lane portion and a second lane portion and determine that a discontinuity is present. The lane generator obtains a sensor output and detects presence of a nearby vehicle in the first lane portion. A classification for the nearby vehicle is identified by analyzing the sensor output, and is used to select a vehicle kinematics model. The lane generator determines paths for a simulated vehicle from the first lane portion to the second lane portion using the vehicle kinematics model. A third lane portion is determined based on the paths such that the third lane portion defines a traversable route from the first lane portion to the second lane portion in accordance with the vehicle kinematics model. An automated vehicle control system generates control outputs based in part on the third lane portion.
