Flow corridor detection and display system
First Claim
1. A vehicle corridor detection system comprising:
- sensors configured to measure a space in front of a vehicle;
a module having trajectory data predictive of vehicle trajectories via a memory defining vehicle dimension data, a dynamic memory including behavior and skill data, and a processor to combine the space with the trajectory data to detect a corridor, and quantify a risk level associated with the corridor, wherein vehicle progress through the corridor is monitored by the sensors and stored in the dynamic memory indicative of driver behavior; and
a display to represent the corridor and risk level.

Abstract
A flow corridor detection system for use on a vehicle is provided. The system includes one or more sensors configured to measure available space in front of the vehicle; a data module include vehicle trajectory data that predicts trajectories of other vehicles, a memory defining vehicle dimension data, a dynamic memory having driver behavior and skill data, a processor configured to combine sensor measurements with data from the data module, memory and dynamic memory in order to detect a corridor through which the vehicle can proceed, and to quantify the risk level associated with the corridor. A display is configured to represent the location and risk level of the corridor to the driver of the vehicle.

15. A vehicle driving aid system comprising:
-
sensors configured to measure a space in front of a vehicle; a module having trajectory data predictive of vehicle trajectories via a memory defining vehicle dimension data, a dynamic memory including behavior and skill data, and a processor to combine the space with the trajectory data to detect a corridor, and quantify a risk level associated with the corridor, wherein the module is configured to, in response to the sensors detecting that a proximity to neighboring vehicles has fallen below a predetermined threshold, automatically detect the corridor and quantify the risk level; and
wherein vehicle progress through the corridor is monitored by the sensors and stored in the dynamic memory as being indicative of driver behavior; anda display to represent the corridor and risk level as a series of nested gates showing a recommended vehicle trajectory that is overlaid onto data indicative of the space. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
