Collective action by multiple vehicles traversing a vehicle transportation network is used to improve operation of vehicles and utilization of the vehicle transportation network. Sensor data for multiple monitored vehicles traveling in a common direction along a road in a vehicle transportation network is received and used as input to a traffic estimation model to determine an estimated congestion for the road in the common direction. A cruise control setting for each of several controlled vehicles, at least some of the controlled vehicles traveling behind the monitored vehicles in the common direction, is determined from the estimated congestion. The cruise control setting is transmitted to the controlled vehicles to modify operation of the controlled vehicles using respective cruise control systems of the controlled vehicles.

Lane segment-level traversal information is obtained. The lane segment-level traversal information is converted into probabilities for a state transition function. A policy is derived from a decision model using the state transition function. The policy directs vehicle movement of a vehicle between neighboring lane segments based on a cost function integrating a user preference with respect to at least two objectives and a slack time for alternative routes. The slack time indicates an allowable deviation in travel time relative to the user preference. A destination is received. The vehicle is then autonomously controlled on a route to the destination using the policy for lane transitions based on current lane positions.

A data-based driveline map is determined using road-level map data and driveline data for road users. The map data includes way data comprising one or more ways, a way includes a series of nodes, and the driveline data includes drivelines, where a driveline is a series of poses representing a road user. A first section of the way data is identified as an intersection, and second sections are matched with the driveline data to generate multiple way bars, where a way bar includes one or more poses and one node. A way bar is categorized as either constant or changing based on lanes counted therewithin. Consecutive way bars are grouped into way bar sections based on the categorization and the lane count, and the map is generated using the way bar sections and the first section. A vehicle is operated using the map as input to a control system.
Map and kinematic based predictions are used for determining the trajectory of road users for use by a host vehicle. A kinematic trajectory of a road user is determined. The road user is associated with mapped lanes. At least one path of the road user is predicted using the mapped lanes. For a path of the at least one path, a probability is generated using the kinematic trajectory of the road user, wherein the probability represents how likely the road user will continue following the path. A kinematic prediction of the road user is generated using the probability corresponding to the path, wherein the kinematic prediction represents how likely the road user will follow an alternative path to the at least one path. Using at least one control system of a vehicle, a control action for the vehicle is determined using the at least one path and the kinematic prediction.

A hood latch mechanism for the hood of a vehicle that includes: a base plate; a rivet extending through the base plate; a hood latch receiving the rivet such that the rivet extends therethrough; a washer receiving the rivet such that the rivet extends therethrough; and a biasing member receiving the rivet such that the rivet extends therethrough. The hood latch is repositionable between a first position, in which the hood latch engages the hood to inhibit opening thereof, and a second position, in which the hood latch is disengaged from the hood to allow opening thereof, wherein the biasing member biases the hood latch towards the first position. The washer is fixedly connected to the hood latch so as to inhibit relative movement therebetween, and is positioned between the base plate and the hood latch to reduce friction therebetween and support movement of the hood latch.

The probability can be based on the movement information and the road information. The system can then assign a BoS classification to the object based on the probability exceeding a threshold. The system can then calculate, based on assigning the BoS classification, a risk zone representing a target minimum separation distance between the vehicle and the object. The system can then control the vehicle to avoid the risk zone by constraining a speed of the vehicle.
