Detecting and communicating lane splitting maneuver
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A vehicle system comprising:
- a lane detector programmed to output a boundary signal representing a location of a lane boundary relative to a host vehicle; and
a processing device programmed to determine, from the boundary signal, whether the host vehicle is performing a lane splitting maneuver in response to detecting the host vehicle is overlapping the lane boundary, wherein the processing device is programmed to transmit a lane splitting signal if the processing device determines that the host vehicle is performing a lane splitting maneuver.

Abstract
A vehicle system includes a lane detector programmed to output a boundary signal representing a location of a lane boundary relative to a host vehicle. A processing device is programmed to determine, from the boundary signal, whether the host vehicle is performing a lane splitting maneuver. If so, the processing device is programmed to transmit a lane splitting signal.

11. A method comprising:
-
receiving a boundary signal representing a location of a lane boundary relative to a host vehicle; determining, from the boundary signal, whether the host vehicle is performing a lane splitting maneuver in response to detecting the host vehicle is overlapping the lane boundary; and transmitting a lane splitting signal if the host vehicle is performing a lane splitting maneuver. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A vehicle system comprising:
-
a lane detector programmed to capture a data stream of an area ahead of a host vehicle and output a boundary signal representing a location of a lane boundary relative to the host vehicle; a processing device programmed to determine, from the boundary signal, whether the host vehicle is performing a lane splitting maneuver based at least in part on whether a center axis of the host vehicle is overlapping the lane boundary, wherein the processing device is programmed to transmit a lane splitting signal if the processing device determines that the host vehicle is performing a lane splitting maneuver; and a communication module programmed to wirelessly broadcast the lane splitting signal to nearby vehicles. - View Dependent Claims (20)
