AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE, CONTROL SYSTEM FOR REMOTELY CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17578714 titled 'AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE, CONTROL SYSTEM FOR REMOTELY CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for an autonomous vehicle with a control system that can be remotely controlled. The vehicle is equipped with an autonomous driving control apparatus that can send an emergency request message to a control system when an emergency occurs to a patient in the vehicle. The control apparatus can then direct the vehicle to follow the path that will take the shortest estimated time, which could be a contact path with an ambulance, a contact path with a neighboring vehicle capable of providing first aid, or a travel path to a hospital, depending on the remote control of the control system.

  • An autonomous vehicle with a control system for remote control.
  • The vehicle has an autonomous driving control apparatus with a processor.
  • The control apparatus can send an emergency request message to a control system.
  • The emergency request message is sent when an emergency occurs to a patient in the vehicle during autonomous driving.
  • The control apparatus can direct the vehicle to follow the path with the shortest estimated required time.
  • The path options include a contact path with an ambulance, a contact path with a neighboring vehicle capable of providing first aid, or a travel path to a hospital.
  • The choice of path depends on the remote control of the control system.

Potential Applications

  • Emergency response systems for autonomous vehicles.
  • Improving the efficiency and effectiveness of emergency medical services.
  • Enhancing the safety and well-being of passengers in autonomous vehicles.

Problems Solved

  • Ensuring prompt and appropriate response to emergencies in autonomous vehicles.
  • Optimizing the choice of path for emergency situations.
  • Coordinating with emergency services and neighboring vehicles for timely assistance.

Benefits

  • Faster response times to emergencies in autonomous vehicles.
  • Improved coordination with emergency services and neighboring vehicles.
  • Enhanced safety and well-being of passengers during emergencies.


Original Abstract Submitted

An autonomous vehicle includes a control system for remotely controlling the same. The autonomous vehicle includes an autonomous driving control apparatus having a processor that is configured to transmit an emergency request message to a control system when an emergency occurs to an emergency patient in the vehicle during autonomous driving, and the autonomous driving control apparatus is configured to direct the autonomous vehicle to follow a path with a shortest estimated required time among a contact path with an ambulance, a contact path with a neighboring vehicle capable of first aid, or a travel path to a hospital depending on remote control of the control system.
