Patent Images
1. An apparatus for managing failure in an autonomous navigation system, the apparatus comprising:
- a memory configured to store program instructions; and
a controller configured to execute the program instructions, the program instructions when executed configured to;
collect failure information in the autonomous navigation system;
monitor a driver condition; and
determine whether to switch control from the autonomous navigation vehicle based on the driver condition.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for managing failure in an autonomous navigation system are provided. The method includes collecting, by a controller, failure information in the autonomous navigation system and a monitoring a driver condition. The controller is configured to collect the failure information in the autonomous navigation system, and determine whether to switch control from the autonomous navigation vehicle to a manual driving mode based on the driver condition.

9. A method for managing failure in an autonomous navigation system, the method comprising:
-
collecting, by a controller, failure information in an autonomous navigation system installed within a vehicle; monitoring, by the controller, a driver condition; switching, by controller, control from an autonomous navigation vehicle to a manual driving mode in response to determining a maintained forward gaze; determining, by the controller, a type of the failure information in response to determining an unacceptable driver condition; transmitting, by the controller, a control signal to the autonomous navigation system to stop the autonomous navigation vehicle when the failure information indicates a hardware failure of the autonomous navigation system as a result of the determination of the failure type; and transmitting, by the controller, a signal to the autonomous navigation system instructing software reboot when the failure information indicates software failure of the autonomous navigation system as a result of the determination of the failure type. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing program instructions executed by a controller, the computer readable medium comprising:
-
program instructions that collect failure information in an autonomous navigation system installed within a vehicle; program instructions that monitor a driver condition; program instructions that switch control from an autonomous navigation vehicle to a manual driving mode in response to determining a maintained forward gaze; program instructions that determine a type of the failure information in response to determining an unacceptable driver condition; program instructions that transmit a control signal to the autonomous navigation system to stop the autonomous navigation vehicle when the failure information indicates a hardware failure of the autonomous navigation system as a result of the determination of the failure type; and program instructions that transmit a signal to the autonomous navigation system instructing software reboot when the failure information indicates software failure of the autonomous navigation system as a result of the determination of the failure type. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
