  • Patent number: 12466398
    Abstract: A method for determining a trajectory of a motor vehicle includes identifying a plurality of objects present in the surroundings of the motor vehicle. For each object, the method includes: a) determining a speed of impact between the object of interest and the motor vehicle, b) determining a risk of injury in the event of a collision with the motor vehicle at the determined impact speed, c) determining the probability of a collision resulting in an injury between the object of interest and the motor vehicle, depending on the determined risk of injury. The method subsequently includes determining a plurality of possible trajectories for the motor vehicle, and determining the trajectory to be followed by the motor vehicle by optimising a cost function which depends on the determined collision probabilities and which minimises the risk of collision resulting in an injury between each object and the motor vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20250083666
    Abstract: A method for controlling a motor vehicle includes: determining an initial trajectory for the motor vehicle; acquiring data relating to the surroundings of the motor vehicle; calculating a risk of the motor vehicle colliding with an obstacle, taking into account the determined initial trajectory and the acquired data and, then, if the risk of colliding with the obstacle exceeds a risk threshold; calculating a time to collision and, then, if the time to collision is below a time threshold; and activating a warning driving mode according to which: a new trajectory is determined by the computer, the new trajectory allowing minimizing the risk of collision with the obstacle causing a serious injury, and an actuator for controlling the steering of the motor vehicle is controlled by the computer to follow the new trajectory.
