Abstract: A disclosed vehicle guidance system includes a transceiver receiving information indicative of operating conditions of other vehicles along a roadway and a controller within a primary vehicle. The controller utilizes the received information indicative of operating conditions to determine a recommended vehicle path along the roadway responsive to the operation of the other vehicles, the position of the primary vehicle and a scenario selected based on both the information of operation of other vehicles and the position of the primary vehicle received by the controller. A communication device communicates the recommended vehicle path to the operator of the primary vehicle.

Abstract: A method for evaluating a collision condition for a vehicle includes providing a first polygon representative of the vehicle, determining the existence of an object near the vehicle, providing a second polygon representative of the object, calculating the Minkowski Difference between the first polygon and the second polygon to create a convex hull, determining the minimum distance between the convex hull and an origin of a coordinate system in which the first polygon and the second polygon are overlayed, determining whether there is a collision condition based on whether the minimum distance is below a threshold value, and initiating a vehicle response if a collision condition is detected.
