AUTOMATED VEHICLE SYSTEM WITH POSITION BIAS FOR MOTORCYCLE LANE SPLITTING

摘要

A system (10) for automated operation of a host-vehicle (12) includes a lane- splitting-motorcycle detector (24) and a controller (34). The lane-splitting-motorcycle detector (24) is configured to determine when a motorcycle (20) proximate to a host- vehicle (12) is traveling proximate to a lane-boundary (22) adjacent the host-vehicle (12). The controller (34) is configured to, during automated operation, steer the host- vehicle (12) away from the lane-boundary (22) to a biased-position (18) selected to provide clearance for the motorcycle (20) to pass the host-vehicle (12) while the motorcycle (20) is lane-splitting.
