Abstract

The disclosure is related to a system and a method for avoiding abnormal vehicle. In the method, the avoidance system predicts multiple routes for the abnormal vehicle within a period of time according to historical data when an alert from the abnormal vehicle is generated. A route-potential figure can be created when the system gets the historical data. The system computes one or more available routes for the nearby vehicle based on its vehicle information when a collision is possible. Every available route has its collision risk value. The system finally provides a recommended route with lower collision risk value when it considers a time of the abnormal vehicle reaches its great change, a time of predicting the nearby vehicle meets the range of route-potential figure, and a safety distance there-between.
