  • Publication number: 20250042393
    Abstract: A system for controlling lateral positioning in a host vehicle includes a controller having a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory. The host vehicle is located on a host lane defined by a host lane center. The controller is adapted to determine if a first and second enabling condition are met. The first enabling condition is met when the host vehicle is travelling on a non-divided road having no physical barrier separating respective traffic lanes travelling in opposing directions. The second enabling condition is met when the host lane is an inner most lane adjacent to an opposing traffic lane. When the first and second enabling conditions are both met, the controller is adapted to determine a non-divided road offset relative to the host lane center in real-time. Operation of the vehicle is controlled based in part on a magnitude, and a direction of the non-divided road offset.

  • Patent number: 12065170
    Abstract: A method for controlling operation of a motor vehicle includes an electronic controller receiving, e.g., from a vehicle-mounted sensor array, sensor data with dynamics information for a target vehicle and, using the received sensor data, predicting a lane assignment for the target vehicle on a road segment proximate the host vehicle. The electronic controller also receives map data with roadway information for the road segment; the controller fuses the sensor and map data to construct a polynomial overlay for a host lane of the road segment across which travels the host vehicle. A piecewise linearized road map of the host lane is constructed and combined with the predicted lane assignment and polynomial overlay to calculate a lane assignment for the target vehicle. The controller then transmits one or more command signals to a resident vehicle system to execute one or more control operations using the target vehicle's calculated lane assignment.
