  • VEHICLE-TO-INFRASTRUCTURE COMMUNICATION
    Publication number: 20150100189
    Abstract: A vehicle system includes at least one autonomous driving sensor that detects a location of a target vehicle, a communication device that receives infrastructure information from an infrastructure device, and a processing device that controls operation of at least one vehicle subsystem according to the infrastructure information. An exemplary method includes determining a location of a target vehicle, receiving infrastructure information from an infrastructure device, and controlling operation of at least one vehicle subsystem according to the infrastructure information.

  • Object detection in adaptive cruise control
    Patent number: 6968266
    Abstract: A control system 20 for an automotive vehicle 22, such as an adaptive cruise control (ACC) system, is provided including a controller 24. The controller 24 is electrically coupled to a radar system and a navigation system. The detection system 28 detects an object and generates an object profile. The navigation system 34 generates a navigation signal. The controller 24 in response to the object profile and the navigation signal, generates a predicted future path profile and inhibits resume speed of the vehicle 22 in response to the predicted future path profile. An additional feature of the invention is that the controller 24 may also be electrically coupled to a yaw rate sensor 30. The yaw rate sensor 30 senses the yaw rate of the vehicle 22 and generates a yaw rate signal. The controller 24 in response to the yaw rate signal inhibits resume speed of the vehicle 22.
