SITUATION AWARENESS PROCESSOR

摘要

A plurality of events (S) representative of a situation in which the host vehicle (16) is operated are selected, including at least one set of related events (S eta ). Input data (ei) is provided to an inference engine from either a first set of data representative of a target (18) in a field of view of the host vehicle (16), a second set of data representative of the position or motion of the host vehicle (16), or a third set of data is representative of an environment (30) of said host vehicle (16). The inference engine operates in accordance with an inference method to generate an output representative of a probability of occurrence of at least one event (S< lambda >)of the set of events, responsive to the input data (ei), and possibly to one or more outputs (Pk-1) at a past time (k-1). A countermeasure (34) may be invoked responsive to one or more outputs (pk) from one or more inference engines.
