System and method for informing nearby vehicle to avoid a moving vehicle which is malfunctioning
First Claim
1. A method for informing a nearby vehicle to avoid moving vehicle which is malfunctioning, the method comprising:
- generating an abnormal signal indicating one of Diagnostic Trouble Codes by an avoidance system installed in the moving vehicle which is malfunctioning;
predicting, by the avoidance system, a predicted traveling route of the moving vehicle which is malfunctioning within a period of time according to historical data corresponding to the abnormal signal and vehicle information of the moving vehicle which is malfunctioning;
receiving, by the avoidance system of the moving vehicle which is malfunctioning, vehicle information from the avoidance system installed in a nearby first vehicle via the wireless communication network, and determining at least one available route for the first vehicle within the period of time according to the vehicle information from the first vehicle;
computing, by the avoidance system of the moving vehicle which is malfunctioning, the collision risk value of every available route for the first vehicle; and
deciding, by the avoidance system of the moving vehicle which is malfunctioning, a best recommended route for the first vehicle in order to avoid the collision risk according to the collision risk value of every available route, and informing the first vehicle the best recommended route;
wherein, both the vehicle and the nearby vehicle are installed with the avoidance system and staying in a communication state through their avoidance systems;
the avoidance system is used to compute a collision risk value corresponding to every available route based on whether or not the available route for the first vehicle enters a route potential pattern of the moving vehicle which is malfunctioning, and the route potential pattern is established by the avoidance system installed in the moving vehicle which is malfunctioning through the steps comprising;
obtaining the historical data corresponding to the abnormal signal when the avoidance system receives the abnormal signal;
determining at least one predicted traveling route for the moving vehicle which is malfunctioning according to the historical data;
drawing the at least one predicted traveling route on a grid map; and
accumulating multiple times of the at least one predicted traveling route passing through each lattice of the grid map for producing the route potential pattern based on a proportion calculation.

Abstract
The disclosure is related to a system and a method for avoiding abnormal vehicle. In the method, the avoidance system predicts multiple routes for the abnormal vehicle within a period of time according to historical data when an alert from the abnormal vehicle is generated. A route-potential figure can be created when the system gets the historical data. The system computes one or more available routes for the nearby vehicle based on its vehicle information when a collision is possible. Every available route has its collision risk value. The system finally provides a recommended route with lower collision risk value when it considers a time of the abnormal vehicle reaches its great change, a time of predicting the nearby vehicle meets the range of route-potential figure, and a safety distance there-between.
