Vehicle Actuation via Trajectory Validation

The system performs preliminary trajectory prediction and validation before executing the actuation command. The controller calculates the projected trajectory of the actuated vehicle system and validates it against predicted object trajectories in advance, ensuring safety before the actuation occurs.

The system continuously monitors external objects using tracking systems, feeds trajectory information back to the controller, and adjusts actuation commands based on this feedback. This closed-loop control ensures that automated actuation remains safe by adapting to real-time object positions and movements.

The controller performs multiple functions including object trajectory prediction, conflict detection, security token authentication, and actuation command generation within a single integrated system. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated systems for each function, thereby managing complexity while maintaining safety.

The patent introduces a trajectory validation module as an intermediary between the actuation command generator and the vehicle system actuator. This intermediary layer processes trajectory information and validates commands without requiring complete system redesign, thereby managing complexity through modular addition.

The system performs trajectory validation at periodic intervals and at critical decision points rather than continuously. The controller validates trajectories at predetermined acceptable ranges and before actuation commands are executed, reducing computational load and energy consumption while maintaining safety.

The system focuses trajectory validation computations on critical zones and high-risk scenarios rather than uniformly analyzing all possible trajectories. By concentrating computational resources on partial but critical validation cases, the system reduces overall energy consumption while preventing harmful conflicts.
