PLATOONING CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17845289 titled 'PLATOONING CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a control system for preventing a vehicle from rolling over during platooning, where vehicles travel closely together in a string. The system includes a communication device in each vehicle that transmits and receives platooning information and information about the risk of rollover due to crosswind. A processor in each vehicle performs formation control to prevent rollover of the vehicle or other vehicles in the string. This technology ensures the stability of autonomous driving in vehicles without a driver.
- Communication device in a platooning vehicle transmits and receives platooning information and rollover risk information.
- Processor in each vehicle performs formation control to prevent rollover.
- Focuses on preventing rollover in autonomous vehicles without a driver.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various areas, including:
- Autonomous driving systems in commercial fleets.
- Military convoys.
- Public transportation systems.
Problems Solved
The control system addresses the following problems:
- Rollover risk during platooning.
- Ensuring stability and safety of autonomous driving.
- Lack of a driver to manually control the vehicle.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved safety during platooning.
- Enhanced stability of autonomous vehicles.
- Prevention of rollover accidents.
- Efficient and coordinated movement of vehicles in a string.
Original Abstract Submitted
A platooning control apparatus for preventing a vehicle from rollover and a method thereof are provided. A communication device provided in a vehicle which is platooning transmits and receives platooning information and information about a risk of rollover of the vehicle due to crosswind with at least one of other vehicles in a string of the vehicle or an external server. A processor performs formation control for preventing at least one of the vehicle or the other vehicles in the string from rollover. An autonomous vehicle in which a driver does not ride is prevented from rollover to ensure stability of autonomous driving.
