  • CONTROLLING VEHICLE USING STATIC OBJECTS AND HEADING ANGLE
    Publication number: 20250026367
    Abstract: A method comprises: determining that a vehicle is at a first location; controlling motion of the vehicle using an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS); determining a second location for the vehicle based on receiving a first sensor return indicating at least a first static object and a second static object; determining a third location for the vehicle based on a heading angle of the vehicle and a first travel distance of the vehicle since the first location; determining a fourth location for the vehicle by fusing the second and third locations with each other, and controlling the motion of the vehicle using the ADAS based on the fourth location.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 20, 2023
    Publication date: January 23, 2025
    Inventors: Tony X. Zhou, Fei Zhu, Renyuan Zhang, Qiang Lu, Mohannad Murad, Jinwoo Lee
  • CONTROLLING VEHICLE USING VEHICLE CURVATURE AND HEADING ANGLE
    Publication number: 20250026354
    Abstract: A method comprises: determining that a vehicle is at a first location; controlling motion of the vehicle using an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS); determining a second location for the vehicle based on lane sensing information of a lane monitoring system of the vehicle and a first travel distance of the vehicle since the first location, the lane sensing information reflecting a lane curvature; determining a third location for the vehicle based on a heading angle of the vehicle and a second travel distance of the vehicle since the first location; determining a fourth location for the vehicle by fusing the second and third locations with each other; and controlling the motion of the vehicle using the ADAS based on the fourth location.
