  • Patent number: 11884279
    Abstract: Vehicle alert and control systems and methods taking into account a detected road friction at a following vehicle and a predicted road friction by the following vehicle. The detected road friction between the following vehicle tires and the road surface may be assessed using a variety of methodologies and is used to compute a critical safety distance between the following vehicle and the preceding vehicle and a critical safety speed of the following vehicle. The predicted road friction ahead of the following vehicle may also be assessed using a variety of methodologies (lidar, camera, and cloud-based examples are provided) and is used to compute a warning safety distance between the following vehicle and the preceding vehicle and a warning safety speed of the following vehicle. These functionalities may be applied to vehicle/stationary object warning and response scenarios as well.

  • Publication number: 20220410876
    Abstract: Systems, devices, computer-implemented methods, and/or computer program products that facilitate dynamic curve speed control adaptive to road conditions. In one example, a system can comprise a process that executes computer executable components stored in memory. The computer executable components can comprise a curvature component, a road condition component, and a safety component. The curvature component can generate composite curvature data for a curve of a road preceding a vehicle using digital map data and lane marker data. The road condition component can generate friction data for a surface of the road using sensor data obtained from an on-board sensor of the vehicle. The safety component can determine a safe operational profile for traversing the curve using the composite curvature data and the friction data.
