Adaptive driver intent detection for driver and vehicle type

Abstract

In exemplary embodiments, methods and systems are provided that include one or more sensors of a vehicle that are configured to obtain sensor data as to operation of the vehicle; a satellite-based location system of the vehicle that is configured to obtain location data as to a geographic location of the vehicle; and a processor of the vehicle that is coupled to the one or more sensors and to the location system and that is configured to at least facilitate determining, using the sensor data and the location data, a maneuver for the vehicle based on an intent of a driver of the vehicle in initiating the maneuver; and characterizing one or more parameters as to an expected behavior of the vehicle based on the maneuver, utilizing a mathematical procedure including a probability function.
