Abstract
A method for controlling a vehicle and a vehicle control system control a vehicle in one of a motion planning mode and a crash mitigation mode. To switch from the motion planning mode to the crash mitigation mode, both instantaneous and predictive risk evaluation techniques are employed, and a hysteresis band is used to return control from the crash mitigation mode to the motion planning mode. When in the crash mitigation mode, assessments are made as to whether leaving a road boundary or engaging a less severe collision minimize harm in a high-risk environment.
