AUTOMATED GUIDANCE SYSTEM

A guidance system (10), for use on an automated vehicle (12) includes a camera (16), a vehicle-to-vehicle transceiver (24), and a controller (32). The camera (16) detects a lane-marking (18) on a roadway (20) and detects a lead-vehicle (14) traveling ahead of a host-vehicle (12). The vehicle-to-vehi...

Zusammenfassung:A guidance system (10), for use on an automated vehicle (12) includes a camera (16), a vehicle-to-vehicle transceiver (24), and a controller (32). The camera (16) detects a lane-marking (18) on a roadway (20) and detects a lead-vehicle (14) traveling ahead of a host-vehicle (12). The vehicle-to-vehicle transceiver (24) receives a future-waypoint (26) from the lead-vehicle (14), wherein the future-waypoint (26) defines a future-route (28) of the lead-vehicle (14) along the roadway (20). The controller (32) is in communication with the camera (16) and the vehicle-to-vehicle transceiver (24). The controller (32) determines a projected-path (34) for the host-vehicle (12) based on the lane-marking (18). The controller (32) also determines a lead-path (40) of the lead-vehicle (14) based on the camera (16). The controller (32) steers (46) the host-vehicle (12) according to the lead-path (40) when the lane-marking (18) is not detected and the lead-path (40) corresponds to the projected-path (34). The controller (32) steers (46) the host-vehicle (12) according to the projected-path (34) while the lane-marking (18) is not detected and the future-waypoint (26) does not correspond to the projected-path (34).
