SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DRIVER-PREFERRED LANE BIASING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17732320 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DRIVER-PREFERRED LANE BIASING
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes systems and methods for lane biasing, which involves positioning a vehicle within its current lane of travel. - Lane biasing takes into account various factors such as learned driver behaviors, weather conditions, and traffic conditions. - The goal of lane biasing is to allow the vehicle to travel off the center-line of the lane, rather than strictly keeping it in the center as conventional lane keep assist systems do. - The innovation distinguishes itself by considering additional factors that may impact lane biasing, such as learned driver behaviors and environmental conditions.
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods are provided for lane biasing, e.g., positioning a vehicle within a current lane of travel. Lane biasing can be dependent on learned driver behaviors or other factors that may impact lane biasing, e.g., weather conditions, traffic conditions, and so on (which may also be learned). Lane biasing may result in a vehicle traveling, e.g., off the center-line of a current lane of travel, and is distinguished from conventional lane keep assist systems that merely position a vehicle in the center of a current lane of travel by default.
