Abstract
A vehicular control system for a vehicle includes a plurality of sensors. Responsive to data processing, the vehicular control system is operable to determine respective speeds of the determined vehicles and respective directions of travel of the determined vehicles, and determines respective influence values for the determined vehicles based on a determined potential hazard to the equipped vehicle presented by the determined vehicles. A plurality of paths for the equipped vehicle is determined, and the determined plurality of paths is assessed by a decision algorithm that ranks each of the determined paths based on likelihood of collision of the equipped vehicle along a respective determined path with one or more determined vehicles. A path of travel is selected from the plurality of determined paths responsive at least in part to the rankings of the paths and to the determined types of vehicles along one or more of the determined paths.
