Abstract:
A system to prevent vehicle collisions by resolving potential hazards before they become imminent collisions. An automatic potential-hazard avoidance system can monitor traffic proximate to a subject vehicle, determine when a potential hazard situation is present, and select an appropriate responsive sequence of actions to avoid the potential hazard. Embodiments may provide a gradual, transparent, computer-controlled intervention to move the vehicle away from potential hazard regions.

Claim (Index 1):
A system, comprising:\n a subject vehicle, one or more sensors, a processor, and non-transient computer-readable media containing a plurality of predetermined sequences of actions, each sequence comprising sequential periods of acceleration or deceleration or waiting, wherein each sequence of actions includes at least one period of acceleration and at least one period of deceleration, and wherein: the one or more sensors are configured to collect data on one or more other vehicles proximate to the subject vehicle; the processor is configured to determine whether one or more of the other vehicles is in a predetermined threat zone proximate to the subject vehicle; the processor is further configured to select a particular sequence, of the plurality of predetermined sequences of actions, the particular sequence selected to move the subject vehicle relative to the one or more other vehicles in the threat zone; the processor is further configured to send control signals to a speed controller according to the selected sequence of actions, and wherein the speed controller is configured to adjust a speed of the subject vehicle according to the received control signals, and thereby cause the subject vehicle to move relative to the one or more other vehicles which are in the threat zone; and the processor is further configured to determine, after the subject vehicle has executed the selected sequence of actons, whether the one or more other vehicles are still in the threat zone.
