Blind spot collision avoidance
First Claim
1. A method for use in traversing a vehicle transportation network, the method comprising:
- traversing, by a host vehicle, the vehicle transportation network, wherein traversing the vehicle transportation network includes;
receiving, at the host vehicle, from a remote vehicle, via a wireless electronic communication link, a remote vehicle message, the remote vehicle message including remote vehicle information;
determining a relative position code indicating a geospatial location of the remote vehicle relative to the host vehicle based on host vehicle information, the remote vehicle information, and a reference direction;
determining a host vehicle dynamic state code based on the host vehicle information;
determining a remote vehicle dynamic state code based on the remote vehicle information;
traversing a portion of the vehicle transportation network, wherein traversing the portion of the vehicle transportation network includes performing blind spot collision avoidance based on the relative position code, the remote vehicle dynamic state code, and the host vehicle dynamic state code.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for use in traversing a vehicle transportation network may include a host vehicle receiving a remote vehicle message including remote vehicle information, identifying host vehicle information, determining a relative position code indicating whether an expected path for the remote vehicle and an expected path for the host vehicle are convergent based, determining a remote vehicle dynamic state code based on the remote vehicle information, determining a host vehicle dynamic state code based on the host vehicle information, identifying an expected blind spot collision condition based on the relative position code, the remote vehicle dynamic state code, and the host vehicle dynamic state code, in response to identifying the expected blind spot collision condition, identifying a vehicle control action based on the host vehicle dynamic state code, and traversing a portion of the vehicle transportation network in accordance with the vehicle control action.
