Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system for automated operation of a host-vehicle includes a lane-splitting-motorcycle detector and a controller. The lane-splitting-motorcycle detector is configured to determine when a motorcycle proximate to a host-vehicle is traveling proximate to a lane-boundary adjacent the host-vehicle. The controller is configured to, during automated operation, steer the host-vehicle away from the lane-boundary to a biased-position selected to provide clearance for the motorcycle to pass the host-vehicle while the motorcycle is lane-splitting.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1 . A system for automated operation of a host-vehicle, said system comprising: a lane-splitting-motorcycle detector configured to determine when a motorcycle proximate to a host-vehicle is traveling proximate to a lane-boundary adjacent the host-vehicle; and a controller configured to, during automated operation, steer the host-vehicle away from the lane-boundary to a biased-position selected to provide clearance for the motorcycle to pass the host-vehicle while the motorcycle is lane-splitting. 2 . The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the system includes a lane-position-detector configured to determine a relative-position of the host-vehicle in a travel-lane defined by the lane-boundary. 3 . The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the system includes an adjacent-vehicle-detector configured to determine a distance between an adjacent-vehicle and the host-vehicle, and the controller is configured to further select the biased-position based on the distance. 4 . The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the system includes a vehicle-to-vehicle transmitter (V2V transmitter) configured to transmit a host-signal that indicates that the host-vehicle is in the biased-position. 5 . The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the system includes a vehicle-to-vehicle transmitter (V2V transmitter) configured to transmit a host-signal that indicates that the motorcycle is lane-splitting. 6 . The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the system includes a vehicle-to-vehicle receiver (V2V receiver) configured to receive a lane-splitting-signal from the motorcycle that indicates that the motorcycle is lane-splitting. 7 . The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the system includes a vehicle-to-vehicle receiver (V2V receiver) configured to receive an adjacent-signal from an adjacent-vehicle that indicates that the adjacent-vehicle is in an adjacent-biased-position.
