    Abstract: A map-data collection system for mapping an area includes a first sensor, a receiver, and a controller-circuit. The first-sensor is for installation on a first-vehicle. The first-sensor is configured to gather perception-data of an area from a first-perspective. The receiver is for installation on the first-vehicle. The receiver is configured to receive perception-data gathered by a second-sensor mounted on a second-vehicle proximate to the first-vehicle. The second-sensor is configured to gather perception-data of the area from a second-perspective different from the first-perspective. The controller-circuit is in communication with the first-sensor and the receiver. The controller-circuit is configured to determine composite-data in accordance with the perception-data from the first-sensor on the first-vehicle and the perception-data from the second-sensor on the second-vehicle. Optionally, the first-vehicle may communicate with the second-vehicle in a manner effective to control the relative-position of the first-vehicle and the second-vehicle while the perception-date is being collected.

    Abstract: A traffic control system includes a detector and controller-circuits. The detector is configured to detect a traffic-state characterized as inhibiting traffic-flow. A first-controller-circuit is configured to communicate with the detector and a traffic-signal. The traffic-signal is configured to control traffic-flow through an intersection, wherein the first-controller-circuit sends a request to the traffic-signal to operate to a signal-state that changes the traffic-state.

    Abstract: A system includes a camera and a controller-circuit. The camera renders a present-image of a host-vehicle loaded with cargo. The present-image depicts the host-vehicle and the cargo carried by the host-vehicle. The cargo protrudes beyond a base-outline of the host-vehicle without cargo. The controller-circuit is in communication with the camera. The controller-circuit is configured to determine, in accordance with the present-image, a size of the host-vehicle and the cargo combined. The size is indicative of at least one of a length of the host-vehicle and the cargo combined, a height of the host-vehicle and the cargo combined, and a width of the host-vehicle and the cargo combined. The controller-circuit is also configured to operate the host-vehicle in accordance with the size.

    Abstract: A vehicle navigation system includes a camera and a controller. The camera is configured to render an image of a host-vehicle in a field-of-view of the camera. The camera located remote from the host-vehicle. The controller is installed on the host-vehicle. The controller is configured to receive the image and determine a vehicle-coordinate of the host-vehicle in accordance with a position of the host-vehicle in the image. The camera may be configured to superimpose gridlines on the image, and the controller may be configured to determine the position in accordance with the gridlines.

    Abstract: A calibration system and method for calibrating a sensor installed on a vehicle includes a target proximate to a travel-path of a vehicle, a digital-map, the digital-map configured to indicate a coordinate of the target, a sensor mounted on the vehicle, said sensor configured to detect the target, and a controller in communication with the digital-map and the sensor. The controller or the method is configured to, in accordance with a determination that the target is detected by the sensor, perform a calibration of the sensor. By using targets documented on a digital-map to perform calibration, the vehicle does not need to be taken to a specialized facility in order to be calibrated.
