Patent number: 12195042Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product aspects for validating protolanes. For example, the method includes determining a protolane level flowchart from one or more flowcharts corresponding to one or more gates of a protolane selected from a set of protolanes of a geonet, wherein the one or more flowcharts correspond to conditions that can be encountered by an actor approaching the corresponding one or more gates, and wherein the geonet comprises a plurality of lane segments associated with the set of protolanes. A graph through the protolane level flowchart is generated that corresponds to actions of an actor. Reasoning of the actor is validated by testing the actions of the actor against the graph through the protolane level flowchart.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2022Date of Patent: January 14, 2025Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: George Peter Kenneth Carr, Shawn Cook, Brett Browning, Andrew Hartnett, Constantin A. Savtchenko, Neal Seegmiller, Christopher Cunningham, Thomas Mark Petroff, Michael Pacilio

Publication number: 20230418291Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product aspects for testing reuse across protolane families. For example, the method includes comparing a first protolane level flowchart to a second protolane level flowchart to determine a common graph corresponding to a portion of the first protolane level flowchart and a portion of the second protolane level flowchart. A first protolane corresponding to the first protolane level flowchart and a second protolane corresponding to the second protolane level flowchart within a protolane family are grouped based on the common graph, wherein a test directed to conditions of the common graph is applicable to the portion of the first protolane level flowchart and the portion of the second protolane level flowchart.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2022Publication date: December 28, 2023Applicant: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: George Peter Kenneth CARR, Shawn COOK
