Constraint augmentation in a navigational system
First Claim
1. A navigation system for a host vehicle, the system comprising:
- at least one processing device programmed to;
receive, from a camera, a plurality of images representative of an environment of the host vehicle;
analyze the plurality of images to identify a navigational state associated with the host vehicle;
determine a first predefined navigational constraint implicated by at least one aspect of the navigational state;
identify, based on analysis of the plurality of images, a presence of at least one navigational constraint augmentation factor;
determine a second navigational constraint based on identification of the at least one navigational constraint augmentation factor, wherein the second navigational constraint is different from the first navigational constraint and includes at least one characteristic augmented with respect to the first navigational constraint;
determine, based on the identified navigational state, a navigational action for the host vehicle satisfying the second navigational constraint; and
cause at least one adjustment of a navigational actuator of the host vehicle in response to the determined navigational action.

Abstract
A navigation system for a host vehicle is provided. The system may comprise at least one processing device programmed to receive, from a camera, a plurality of images representative of an environment of the host vehicle; analyze the plurality of images to identify a navigational state associated with the host vehicle; determine a first predefined navigational constraint implicated by at least one aspect of the navigational state; identify, based on analysis of the plurality of images, a presence of at least one navigational constraint augmentation factor; determine a second navigational constraint based on identification of the at least one navigational constraint augmentation factor; determine, based on the identified navigational state, a navigational action for the host vehicle satisfying the second navigational constraint; and cause at least one adjustment of a navigational actuator of the host vehicle in response to the determined navigational action.
