METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM FUNCTIONS USING BEYOND LINE-OF-SIGHT SITUATIONAL AWARENESS

摘要

A method for performing advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) functions for a vehicle includes receiving a plurality of inputs from a plurality of sensors disposed on the vehicle, determining a pool of location candidates of the vehicle based on a first subset of the plurality of inputs, iteratively updating the pool of location candidates based on a second subset of the plurality of inputs, generating an estimate of vehicle location based on an average of location candidates, evaluating a confidence level of the estimate of vehicle location, generating a beyond line-of-sight situation awareness based on the plurality of inputs and locating the vehicle on a digital map based on the confidence level and the estimate of vehicle location, and performing ADAS functions based on the beyond line-of-sight situation awareness and location of the vehicle on the digital map.
