METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPERATING AN AUTOMATED VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18189484 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPERATING AN AUTOMATED VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method and apparatus for operating an automated vehicle.

  • The method involves acquiring environmental data values that represent objects in the vehicle's environment.
  • The position of the vehicle is determined.
  • The environmental data values are compared with a digital map, which includes environmental features.
  • Static objects are determined when they are included as environmental features in the digital map.
  • Non-static objects are determined when they are not included as environmental features in the digital map.
  • The motion behavior of the non-static objects relative to the vehicle is determined.
  • A travel strategy for the vehicle is determined based on the motion behavior of the non-static objects.
  • The vehicle is operated based on the travel strategy.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method and apparatus for operating an automated vehicle. The method includes: acquiring environmental data values which represent objects in an environment of the automated vehicle; determining a position of the automated vehicle; comparing the environmental data values with a digital map, depending on the position of the automated vehicle, the digital map including environmental features, a first subset of the objects being determined as static objects when these objects are comprised as environmental features in the digital map, and a second subset of the objects are determined as non-static objects, when these objects are not comprised as an environmental feature in the digital map; determining a motion behavior of the non-static objects relative to the automated vehicle; determining a travel strategy for the automated vehicle, depending on the motion behavior of the non-static objects; and operating the automated vehicle, depending on the travel strategy.
