Patent number: 9870003Abstract: A processor-based electronic system for use in a vehicle may be used to automatically control the vehicle's velocity and position to cause the vehicle to automatically merge into a lane on a roadway or to maneuver around a road hazard or obstacle. A message can be transmitted to other vehicles indicating the vehicle is to occupy a future lane position at a future point in time. The vehicle electronic system may receive a message from one or more of the other vehicles in response thereto. One or more of the other vehicles may adjust their position based on the indicated future lane position. The vehicle electronic system may transmit a further message to the one or more of the other vehicles before merging into the lane.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2015Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: AUTOLIV DEVELOPMENT ABInventor: Ryan A.

Patent number: 8930059Abstract: Each respective vehicle of a plurality of vehicles transports a vehicle navigation system. A position determining system determines a position and a velocity of the respective vehicle and an information acquisition system is operable to determine a displacement and velocity between the respective vehicle and a vehicle adjacent to the respective vehicle. An information communication system of a respective vehicle is operable to transmit first information (that vehicle's velocity and position) to other vehicles and to receive information from other vehicles regarding their velocities and positions. A vehicle routing system can determine a target routing and target velocity for moving the respective vehicle over a path including the roadway. Based on the received or determined information, the velocity of the respective vehicle can be controlled.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2013Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Inventor: Ryan A. Neff

Patent number: 8311730Abstract: A vehicle position determination system can determine a position of a first moving vehicle relative to at least one other moving vehicle and to non-moving objects. An information communication system transported by a first moving vehicle can be operable to receive from the at least one other moving vehicle an estimate of such moving vehicle's position relative to the first moving vehicle. Sensors of the first moving vehicle can be usable to obtain information relating to positions of other moving vehicles and non-moving objects in a vicinity of the first moving vehicle. A processor may then use the obtained information with the received estimate of the at least one other moving vehicle's position to make a first estimate of a position of the first moving vehicle relative to the other moving vehicles and non-moving objects.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2007Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Inventor: Ryan A. Neff
