A trigger event is detected based on a vehicle malfunction that limits maneuverability of a vehicle. An alert message is generated based on the detected trigger event, and the alert message is broadcast via a Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication. Based on the detected trigger event, a receive channel mask and a transmit channel mask are generated, and a channel mask flag is set. When the channel mask flag is set, one or more incoming message channels are selected based on the incoming channel mask and the channel mask flag, and incoming V2X messages are received and processed only on the selected one or more incoming message channels. When the channel mask flag is cleared, incoming V2X messages are received and processed on the selected one or more incoming message channels and at least one additional incoming message channel.

Intelligent method of selecting incoming message channels in a V2X communication

A failure detection and correction function which is able to detect a failure of an automatic braking system, and provide a corrected action. The failure detection and correction function is independent of the automatic braking function. The failure detection and correction function uses object coordinates and the speed of the vehicle to determine the collision risk, and then calculates a desired deceleration if there is imminent collision. The function uses desired deceleration to compare to a deceleration request from automatic braking function to determine if there is a failure. The failure detection and correction function takes corrected action to avoid the collision if the automatic braking function has failed.
