Patent number: 11276304Abstract: System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to dynamically determining an appropriate responsive action for a moving vehicle in accordance with local traffic regulations. In one embodiment, the disclosed system identifies a stationary vehicle in an environment of the subject vehicle based at least in part on information from a plurality of sensors disposed on the subject vehicle and classifies a type of the stationary vehicle as valid or abandoned based at least in part on the information from the plurality of sensors. A classification of valid indicates that a traffic regulation requires the subject vehicle to undertake a responsive action toward the stationary vehicle. The disclosed system obtains a local traffic regulation based on a location of the subject vehicle and modifies a trajectory of the subject vehicle based on the local traffic regulation when the type of the stationary vehicle is determined to be valid.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2018Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignees: Denso International America, Inc., Denso CorporationInventors: Matthew Gesch, Jin Kurumisawa, Andrew Mueller

Patent number: 10916134Abstract: System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to dynamically determining an appropriate responsive action for a moving vehicle that encounters a roadside pedestrian and stationary vehicle. In one embodiment the disclosed system identifies a stationary vehicle in an environment of a subject vehicle based at least in part on information from a plurality of sensors disposed on the subject vehicle and determines a classification for the stationary vehicle as valid or abandoned based at least in part on the information from the plurality of sensors. A classification of valid indicates that the subject vehicle is recommended to undertake an action relative to the stationary vehicle. The disclosed generates a score based at least in part on the classification, the score indicating a recommended trajectory modification for the subject vehicle, and modifies a trajectory of the subject vehicle based on score.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2018Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: Denso International America, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Gesch, Jin Kurumisawa
