Vehicle collision management responsive to adverse circumstances in an avoidance path
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- an evaluation circuit configured to determine a characteristic of an adverse circumstance present in a possible collision avoidance path of a vehicle;
a rating circuit configured to assign a risk value to the possible collision avoidance path responsive to the determined characteristic of the adverse circumstance, and further configured to assign an uncertainty to the assigned risk value of the possible collision avoidance path; and
a selector circuit including a rule-set structured to select a collision avoidance path from at least two possible collision avoidance paths in response to an evaluation of a respective assigned risk value and uncertainty for each of the at least two possible collision avoidance paths.

Abstract
Described embodiments include a system and a method. A system includes an evaluation circuit configured to determine a characteristic of an adverse circumstance present in a possible collision avoidance path of a vehicle. The system includes a rating circuit configured to assign a risk value to the possible collision avoidance path responsive to the determined characteristic of the adverse circumstance. The system includes an uncertainty assessment circuit configured to assign an uncertainty to the risk value. The system includes a threshold circuit configured to determine if the risk value of the possible collision avoidance path and the uncertainty in a combination meet a threshold criteria. The system includes a communication circuit configured to output the possible collision avoidance path as a selected collision avoidance path if the threshold criteria is met.
