A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11941989B2) outlines a method for determining collision distance between vehicles. The method involves receiving data points from a second vehicle, analyzing historical path information and steering wheel angles to determine if the first vehicle is within a preset area range of the second vehicle. If so, the method calculates a collision distance based on lane change states, current positions, and data points of both vehicles. The calculation involves intricate formulas based on data point intervals, lane change states, and vehicle positions to accurately determine the collision distance. The method also considers scenarios where the second vehicle changes lanes, adjusting the calculations accordingly.

Furthermore, the patent includes details on how the series of data points are arranged sequentially, the process of determining the nearest data point, and calculating collision distances based on lane change states and historical path information. The method accounts for various scenarios such as vehicles driving in the same lane after lane changes, driving in adjacent lanes, and correcting distances based on lane width and driving azimuth angles. The patent also covers implementations using computer-readable storage mediums and electronic equipment, highlighting the practical application of the method in real-world scenarios. Overall, the patent provides a comprehensive approach to accurately determining collision distances between vehicles based on historical data and real-time positioning information.
