PROACTIVE VEHICLE SAFETY SYSTEM

Abstract:

A vehicle control system for proactively calculating a safe motion range (e.g., safe speed, a safe acceleration, and/or a safe jerk range) for a road segment and selecting and verifying an appropriate domain for the vehicle using, for example, information about the current road segment, information about the next road segment(s), information obtained from sensors, information obtained from map systems, information from an object-based safety layer, and/or other information about the vehicle's operating conditions in the current and future road segments. In addition, once the safe motion range is calculated, this information may be used to either warn/inform a human driver or directly enforce an appropriate vehicle maneuver to ensure a safe motion in the vehicle's next road segment(s).
