METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ELECTRONICALLY ASSISTED LANE ENTRANCE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of assisting movement of a vehicle from one lane to another, comprising:
- detecting, via a lane assistance computer, an entrance to a restricted access lane within a threshold distance in front of the vehicle based, at least in part, on one or more images captured from an imaging sensor;
determining, via the lane assistance computer, entrance parameters for the restricted access lane based, at least in part, on a position of the entrance relative to a position of the vehicle; and
generating, via the lane assistance computer, an output signal based on the entrance parameters.

Abstract
Methods and systems for assisted lane entrance are disclosed. In some aspects, a method of assisting movement of a vehicle from one lane to another, includes detecting an entrance to a restricted access lane within a threshold distance in front of the vehicle, determining entrance parameters for the restricted access lane based, at least in part, on a position of the entrance relative to a position of the vehicle, and generating an output signal based on the entrance parameters.
