CPC Code(s): G08G5/045
Abstract: described herein is a system and method for detecting and avoiding a conflict along a current route of a vehicle. in some implementations, the system accesses or determines trajectories of the vehicle and a plurality of nearby moving objects, the trajectories being determined forward in time. next, the system performs a comparison of the trajectories, and, predicts one or more conflicts between the vehicle and corresponding ones of the nearby moving objects. the system then determines the most-imminent conflict and selects a maneuver to avoid the most-imminent conflict. the system includes a user interface, where a specific resolution to the conflict is displayed. the specific resolution includes a direction in which to turn the vehicle and the magnitude of heading change. in some alternative implementations, the specific resolution is transmitted to a guidance system of the vehicle where the resolution is automatically executed by the guidance system.
