Depending on the host car speed, the collision can be avoided or mitigated. AEB is equivalent to crash imminent braking ( CIB ), which is the term preferred by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ( NHTSA ). • Construction Zone Assist systems sense and measure the position of possible stationary obstacles located in the periphery of the driving path to enable automatic lateral control of the vehicle to find a “clear path” moving forward in a cluttered scene, such as a construction area. • Deep Layered Network (DLN) refers to a machine learning architecture consisting of feed-forward layers starting from the input image (or sequence of images with or without meta-data) going through operations of convolution and pooling and ending at an output layer consisting of meta-data, such as location and identity of objects in the scene. The DLN architecture’s parameters are determined through optimization over a large labeled training set. • Drivable Path Delimiter Features provide the sensing technology underlying the support of Construction Zone Assist, whose aim is to find a clear path moving forward in a cluttered scene. • Dynamic Brake Support (DBS) provides additional support when a driver has initiated insufficient brake pedal input to avoid a crash. • Forward Collision Warning (FCW) systems use cameras, radar or lidar sensors to monitor the area in front of a vehicle and alert the driver of a potential rear-end collision with another vehicle. • Free-Space Analysis is synonymous with Drivable Path Delimiter Features. • Headway Monitoring and Warning (HMW) recognizes the preceding vehicles in both the host vehicle’s lane and adjacent lanes and provides accurate time-range (range divided by host car speed) estimation for contact with the targets. • Lane Departure Warning (LDW) systems use visible lane markers to track vehicle position within a lane and issue a warning for an unintended road departure. • Lane Keeping and Support (LKS) is a steering system that provides torque overlay in cases where the host vehicle approaches the lane marker without the turn signal having been activated, both alerting the driver of a lane departure and directing the vehicle to stay in the lane. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS • Lane Keeping Assistant (LKA) is a Lane Departure Warning ( LDW ) system in which the controller sends torque input to the steering system in order to keep the vehicle inside lane boundaries. • Level 1 autonomous driving means that most functions are controlled by a human driver; certain functions (parking assist, acceleration, and limited steering) can be done automatically by the car. • Level 2 autonomous driving means that the system controls both steering and acceleration using information about the driving environment (e.g., lane-centering and cruise control), but with the expectation that a human will perform all remaining aspects of driving; the driver can have his or her hands off the steering wheel but must monitor the “dynamic driving task” at all times.
