Appl. No.:

17/328333

Inventors:

- Plano TX, US
Ryan Mercer - Colton CA, US

Assignee:

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc. - Plano TX

International Classification:

G08G 1/16
G07C 5/00
G06N 20/00
G08G 1/00
G08G 1/01

Abstract:

A method includes, at a first level manager, receiving vehicle data from a plurality of vehicles, aggregating the vehicle data, determining a first variable associated with the plurality of vehicles based on the aggregated vehicle data, and transmitting the aggregated vehicle data to a second level manager. The second level manager is in a higher hierarchical level than the first level manager. The method further includes, at a second level manager, determining a second variable based on the received aggregated vehicle data, determining whether the first and second variable conform to a predetermined dependency among the variables, and identifying an anomaly based on the determination.

G06K 9/62

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for the classification of anomalies present in road regions. Anomalies may be extrinsic or intrinsic. Intrinsic anomalies may pose a greater safety risk to drivers than extrinsic anomalies. Intrinsic anomalies may be identified by detection of an evasive maneuver of a vehicle in a road region, measurement of the properties of other vehicles and the surrounding environment in the road region, determination of a vehicle behavior pattern in a road region, and comparison of the determined vehicle behavior pattern in the road region to other vehicle behavior patterns stored in a database.
