  • FUSING OBSTACLE DATA FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES
    Publication number: 20240069552
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and apparatus for avoiding collisions with obstacles by a first vehicle using sensors on an accompanying second vehicle. The second vehicle navigates proximate the first vehicle while aiming an obstacle detection sensor at a path of the first vehicle to detect objects in the path of the first vehicle. The locations of the objects are determined and transmitted to the first vehicle.

  • AVOIDING COLLISIONS WITH AUTONOMOUS OFF-ROAD VEHICLES
    Publication number: 20240036579
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for avoiding collisions with obstacles by a vehicle, in particular an off-road vehicle. Objects are detected with sensors in a calculated projected path zone of the vehicle footprint based on a vehicle trajectory. Possible path zones on either side of the projected path zone where the vehicle could potentially go with a change in trajectory are determined. The vehicle is slowed down or stopped for objects in the projected path and is slowed less for objects within the possible path zones.
