Device and Method for Detecting a Bypass Lane - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18250902 titled 'Device and Method for Detecting a Bypass Lane
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application is about systems, methods, and devices that detect a bypass lane at a junction with a traffic light system and control automated longitudinal guidance functions of a motor vehicle based on this detection. - The invention utilizes driving data of a motor vehicle at the junction to determine the possible driving trajectory of vehicles at the junction and arrangement information that reflects the arrangement of the traffic light system relative to the possible driving trajectory. - Based on the arrangement information, the bypass lane of the junction is detected. - The automated longitudinal guidance functions of the motor vehicle are then adjusted based on the detection of the bypass lane.
Original Abstract Submitted
The invention relates to systems, methods and devices that detect a bypass lane at a junction with at least one traffic light system and control automated longitudinal guidance functions of a motor vehicle based thereon. The driving data of a motor vehicle at the junction is utilized to determine a possible driving trajectory of vehicles at the junction and arrangement information reflecting an arrangement of the traffic light system relative to the possible driving trajectory. The bypass lane of the junction is detected based on the arrangement information, the automated longitudinal guidance functions of the motor vehicle are adjusted based on the bypass lane detection.
