Abstract
A crosswalk navigation system for operating an automated vehicle in an intersection includes an intersection-detector, a pedestrian-detector, and a controller. The intersection-detector is suitable for use on a host-vehicle. The intersection-detector is used to determine when the host-vehicle is proximate to an intersection and determine when the intersection includes a cross-walk. The pedestrian-detector is suitable for use on the host-vehicle. The pedestrian-detector is used to determine a motion-vector of a pedestrian relative to the cross-walk. The controller is in communication with the intersection-detector and the pedestrian-detector. The controller is configured to determine a travel-path of the host-vehicle through the intersection, determine when the pedestrian will pass through an intersect-location where the travel-path intersects the cross-walk based on the motion-vector, and operate the host-vehicle to enter the intersection before the pedestrian passes through the intersect-location and to arrive at the intersect-location after the pedestrian passes through the intersect-location.
