Title: Vehicle route navigation
Inventor: FLING FINN TSENG
IPC: G08G1/0968
Filed: 2018-05-22
Abstract: Determining that a rate of travel value for a route segment 210 being traversed by a vehicle 101 exceeds a threshold; planning a maneuver 210d for the vehicle to depart from the segment based on operating data from one of more other vehicles previously traversing route segment; and instructing the vehicle to execute the maneuver. The maneuver may be planned when a time elapsed in the segment exceeds a traversal time threshold; when the vehicles average speed is below that of previous vehicles in the segment; or when a distance driven in the segment exceeds the segment length (e.g. because the vehicle is circling looking for a parking spot or has driven forward and backward to avoid an obstacle). The vehicle may then operate in manual mode or be provided with a route to a parking location in a second segment for which the rate of travel does not exceed the threshold. The vehicle may carry out the determination and request the maneuver.
