Target vehicle movement classification
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- measuring movement of a target vehicle in proximity to a host vehicle;
assessing a pattern of the movement of the target vehicle relative to the host vehicle or a third vehicle;
generating, via a processor, a classification by classifying the movement of the target vehicle as;
erratic if the pattern represents a first deviation from a typical vehicle movement; and
aggressive if the pattern represents a second deviation from the typical vehicle movement, the second deviation being greater than the first deviation; and
taking action based on the classification.

Abstract
Methods, program products, and vehicles are provided for classifying movement of target vehicles in proximity to a host vehicle and taking appropriate action based on the classification. An active safety system is coupled to a drive system, and is configured to provide an action during a drive cycle of the vehicle. The active safety system comprises a detection unit and a processor. The detection unit is configured to measure movement of a target vehicle in proximity to a host vehicle. The processor is coupled to the detection unit, and is configured to assess a pattern of the movement of the target vehicle relative to the host vehicle or a third vehicle, classify the movement of the target vehicle based on the pattern to generate a classification, the classification pertaining to a deviation from a typical vehicle movement, and take action based on the classification.

9. A program product comprising:
-
a program configured to at least facilitate; measuring movement of a target vehicle in proximity to a host vehicle; assessing a pattern of the movement of the target vehicle relative to the host vehicle or a third vehicle; generating a classification by classifying the movement of the target vehicle as; erratic if the pattern represents a first deviation from a typical vehicle movement; and aggressive if the pattern represents a second deviation from the typical vehicle movement, the second deviation being greater than the first deviation; and taking action based on the classification; and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing the program. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)

12. A vehicle comprising:
-
a drive system; and an active safety system coupled to the drive system, the active safety system comprising; a sensor unit configured to measure movement of a target vehicle in proximity to a host vehicle; and a processor coupled to the sensor unit and configured to; assess a pattern of the movement of the target vehicle relative to the host vehicle or a third vehicle; generate a classification by classifying the movement of the target vehicle as; erratic if the pattern represents a first deviation from a typical vehicle movement; and aggressive if the pattern represents a second deviation from the typical vehicle movement, the second deviation being greater than the first deviation; and take action based on the classification. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
