Host Vehicle Route Planning Using Surrounding Vehicle Intention Prediction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle lane detection and surrounding vehicle recognition methods are hindered by environmental factors like weather and brightness, leading to increased collision risks when changing lanes without determining the intentions of surrounding vehicles.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that selects surrounding vehicles, determines their intentions using location and speed information, predicts their driving routes, and creates a host vehicle route to avoid collisions by generating a grid map of predicted routes, employing Delaunay triangulation, deep learning, and machine learning techniques.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If camera or sensor based lane detection is used, then lane detection is possible in clear weather, but detection fails or becomes unreliable in dark or bad weather conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces communication-based vehicle information as an intermediary to supplement sensor-based detection. By receiving location and speed data from surrounding vehicles through communication techniques, the system compensates for sensor failures in adverse weather conditions, creating a redundant information source that maintains detection reliability when primary sensors fail.
2Speed
If lane changing is performed without determining surrounding vehicle intentions, then lane changing speed is fast, but collision risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by determining the intentions of surrounding vehicles before executing lane changing maneuvers. The system analyzes location and speed data to predict whether surrounding vehicles will change lanes, and only proceeds with lane changing when it is safe to do so, thereby preventing collisions while maintaining efficient lane changing speed.
3Measurement precision
If sensor based surrounding vehicle recognition is used, then vehicle location and speed can be detected, but intentions of surrounding vehicles cannot be determined
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the system multi-functional by using communication techniques to gather not only location and speed data but also intention information from surrounding vehicles. The same communication infrastructure that provides basic vehicle data is also used to determine lane changing intentions, allowing the system to perform multiple functions (detection and prediction) through a unified approach.

AI summary
A system for creating a driving route of a vehicle includes: a vehicle selecting device to select a surrounding vehicle that is adjacent to a host vehicle; an intention determining device to determine an intention of the surrounding vehicle by using information including a location and a speed of the surrounding vehicle; a driving route predicting device to predict a driving route of the surrounding vehicle based on the determined intention of the surrounding vehicle; a map creating device to create a map by using the predicted driving route of the surrounding vehicle; and a driving route creating device to create a driving route of the host vehicle.
