A newly filed patent (Publication Number: US20240038065A1) outlines a method for enhancing vehicle safety at intersections by utilizing multiple traffic light detection (TLD) systems. The method involves deriving the state of a traffic light at an intersection using data from two independent TLD systems, determining traffic light information based on the comparison of these states, and instructing the vehicle to operate accordingly. The system can detect specified states of traffic lights, infer cross traffic information, and adjust the vehicle's response based on various factors such as occlusion, speed, and distance of cross traffic.

Furthermore, the patent describes a system that includes at least one processor and storage media storing instructions to perform the operations outlined in the method. This system aims to improve intersection safety by providing accurate traffic light information to vehicles approaching intersections. By utilizing multiple TLD systems and analyzing various parameters related to cross traffic, the system can enhance decision-making processes for vehicles, ultimately contributing to safer and more efficient traffic flow at intersections.
