On-site notification from autonomous vehicle for traffic safety
First Claim
1. A system for an autonomous-driving vehicle, comprising:
- one or more processors; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to;
detect one or more movable traffic objects;
determine one or more target movable traffic objects from the one or more detected movable traffic objects;
determine a type of the one or more target movable traffic objects and an traffic object that has a right of way (ROW) in a situation involving the autonomous-driving vehicle;
determine a manner of generating a vehicle behavior notification to the target movable traffic object based on the type of the one or more target movable traffic objects and the ROW, wherein the determining the manner of generating the vehicle behavior notification comprises;
determining, when it is determined that the autonomous-driving vehicle has the ROW, whether or not it is safe to proceed;
determining, when it is determined that it is safe to proceed, a first manner of generating the vehicle behavior notification, wherein the vehicle behavior notification of the first manner indicates that the autonomous-driving vehicle will proceed;
determining, when it is determined that it is not safe to proceed, a second manner of generating the vehicle behavior notification different from the first manner; and
determining, when it is determined that the autonomous-driving vehicle does not have the ROW, a third manner of generating the vehicle behavior notification different from the first and second manners; and
cause a vehicle behavior notification of the determined manner to be generated to the one or more target movable traffic objects.

Abstract
A system included and a computer-implemented method performed in an autonomous-driving vehicle are described. The system performs: detecting one or more movable traffic objects; determining one or more target movable traffic objects from the one or more detected movable traffic objects; determining a type of the one or more target movable traffic objects and an traffic object that has a right of way (ROW) in a situation involving the autonomous-driving vehicle. The system further performs: determining a manner of generating a vehicle behavior notification to the target movable traffic object based on the type of the one or more target movable traffic objects and the ROW; and causing a vehicle behavior notification of the determined manner to be generated to the one or more target movable traffic objects.

10. A computer-implemented method performed in an autonomous-driving vehicle comprising:
-
detecting one or more movable traffic objects; determining one or more target movable traffic objects from the one or more detected movable traffic objects; determining a type of the one or more target movable traffic objects and an traffic object that has a right of way (ROW) in a situation involving the autonomous-driving vehicle, wherein at least one of the one or more target movable traffic objects is another autonomous-driving vehicle, and the determining the traffic object that has the ROW comprises; when the autonomous-driving vehicle is at an intersection, generating a signal indicating a random number; determining priority of the random number with respect to one or more other random numbers indicated by signals from the at least one of the one or more target movable traffic objects according to a predetermined algorithm; and determining the traffic object that has the ROW in accordance with the determined priority; determining a manner of generating a vehicle behavior notification to the target movable traffic object based on the type of the one or more target movable traffic objects and the ROW; and causing a vehicle behavior notification of the determined manner to be generated to the one or more target movable traffic objects. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
