First Claim
Patent Images
1. A simulated-attribute guidance system for an automated vehicle, said system comprising:
- a location-device that indicates a location of a host-vehicle;
a digital-map that indicates a position of a simulated-attribute proximate to the location of the host-vehicle, wherein the simulated-attribute indicates a travel-path other than what is defined by instances of lane-markings present about the host-vehicle; and
a controller in communication with the location-device and the digital-map, said controller configured to operate the host-vehicle in accordance with the simulated-attribute.

Abstract
A simulated-attribute guidance system for an automated vehicle includes a location-device, a digital-map, and a controller. The location-device indicates a location of a host-vehicle. The digital-map indicates a position of a simulated-attribute proximate to the location of the host-vehicle. The controller is in communication with the location-device and the digital-map. The controller is configured to operate the host-vehicle in accordance with the simulated-attribute.

5. The system in accordance with claim 4, wherein the image-processor is configured to remove an actual-marking from the image that is in conflict with the simulated-attribute.
-
6. The system in accordance with claim 1, wherein the simulated-attribute includes pattern-information that defines a meaning of the simulated-attribute.
-
7. The system in accordance with claim 1, wherein the simulated-attribute includes metadata that defines a meaning of the simulated-attribute.

8. A method of operating an automated vehicle, said method comprising:
-
determining a location of a host-vehicle with a location-device; receiving, from a digital-map, a simulated-attribute proximate to the location of the host-vehicle, wherein the simulated-attribute indicates a travel-path other than what is defined by instances of lane-markings present about the host-vehicle; and operating the host-vehicle in accordance with the simulated-attribute. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
