SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING VEHICLES TO COMMUNICATE SAFETY MESSAGES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17894620 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING VEHICLES TO COMMUNICATE SAFETY MESSAGES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for identifying connected vehicles by observing their maneuvers to distinguish safety messages with unassociated identifiers.

• Identifying surrounding vehicles with temporary identifiers received from them.
• Generating trajectories for indeterminate vehicles in the driving environment.
• Distinguishing indeterminate vehicles by observing their execution of trajectories.
• Executing planning tasks by a subject vehicle using safety information from communications.

Original Abstract Submitted

System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to identifying connected vehicles through invoking maneuvers by vehicles that assist with distinguishing between safety messages having unassociated identifiers originating from the connected vehicles. In one embodiment, a method includes identifying surrounding vehicles including indeterminate vehicles from a driving environment using temporary identifiers received from the surrounding vehicles. The method also includes generating trajectories for the indeterminate vehicles. The method also includes distinguishing the indeterminate vehicles from communications using the temporary identifiers by observing execution of the trajectories by the indeterminate vehicles. The method also includes executing a planning task by a subject vehicle using safety information from the communications.
