Abstract: A camera adjustment system includes a camera, an actuator, an inertial-measurement-unit, and one or more controller-circuits. The camera renders an image of lane-markings of a roadway traveled by a host-vehicle. The actuator is operable for controlling an aim-direction of the camera. The inertial-measurement-unit detects relative-movement of the host-vehicle. The one or more controller-circuits are in communication with the camera, the actuator, and the inertial-measurement-unit. The one or more controller-circuits determine whether a range-of-detection of the lane-markings in the image is less than a detection-threshold and adjust the aim-direction based on the relative-movement.

Abstract: A lane-bias system for a vehicle includes a perception-sensor a steering-device a controller-circuit. The perception-sensor is configured to detect a lane-boundary of a travel-lane traveled by a host-vehicle and detect a distance to an other-vehicle in the travel-lane of the host-vehicle. The steering-device is operable to control a lane-position of the host-vehicle. The controller-circuit is in communication with the perception-sensor and the steering-device. The controller-circuit is configured to operate the steering-device to steer the host-vehicle to an off-center-position within the travel-lane in response to a determination that the distance to the other-vehicle is less than a threshold-distance and/or that the size of the other-vehicle is larger than a threshold-size.

Abstract: A lane keeping system includes an absolute pressure sensor located in a door on each of opposing sides of a vehicle. Each sensor generates a signal indicative of a door cavity pressure on that side of the vehicle. A safety restraint system (SRS) controller is in communication with the pressure sensor. The SRS controller is configured to determine a collision event in response to the signal (e.g., increased pressure in the door as it is crushed) and activate a safety restraint component in response to the determined collision event. A lane keeping system (LKS) controller is in communication with the pressure sensors. The LKS controller determines a lateral wind force on the vehicle in response to the signal from each pressure sensor. The LKS controller determines a correction in response to the determined lateral wind force to maintain the vehicle along a desired path.

Abstract: A lane keeping system for a vehicle includes a first roll angle sensor configured to provide a first signal indicative of dynamic vehicle body roll. A second roll angle sensor is configured to provide a second signal indicative of an angle between vehicle sprung and unsprung masses. A lane keeping system (LKS) controller is in communication with the first and second roll angle sensors. The LKS controller is configured to discern a vehicle roll angle in response to the first and second signals based upon effects of a lateral wind force on the vehicle. The LKS controller is configured to produce a correction in response to the determined lateral wind force effects to maintain the vehicle along a desired path.

Abstract: A lane-changing system suitable for use on an automated host-vehicle includes a camera, an inertial-measurement-unit, and a controller. The camera detects a lane-marking of a roadway traveled by a host-host-vehicle. The inertial-measurement-unit determines relative-motion of the host-host-vehicle. The controller is in communication with the camera and the inertial-measurement-unit. While the lane-marking is detected the controller steers the host-host-vehicle towards a centerline of an adjacent-lane of the roadway based on a last-position and a current-vector, and determines an offset-vector indicative of motion of the host-host-vehicle relative to the current-vector.

Abstract: A steering-control system for an automated vehicle includes an object-detector and a controller. The object-detector is suitable for use on a host-vehicle. The object-detector is used to detect an other-vehicle approaching the host-vehicle, and to detect a stationary-object that defines a roadway traveled by the host-vehicle. The controller is in communication with the object-detector and adapted to operate the host-vehicle. The controller is configured to steer the host-vehicle towards a centered-position of a travel-lane of the roadway when a projected-path of the other-vehicle approaches the host-vehicle to a minimum-distance between the other-vehicle and the host-vehicle greater than a distance-threshold. The controller is also configured to steer the host-vehicle towards a biased-position of the travel-lane to increase the minimum-distance when the projected-path approaches the host-vehicle to less than the distance-threshold if the host-vehicle remains in the centered-position.
