APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DRIVING OF A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17721579 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DRIVING OF A VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an apparatus for controlling the driving of a vehicle. Here are the key points:
- The apparatus includes a sensor that detects the amount of pressure applied to the accelerator pedal by the user.
- A controller is used to determine if there is an erroneous actuation of the accelerator pedal based on the input amount.
- The controller also determines whether to release autonomous driving based on whether the accelerator pedal is erroneously pressed or actuated.
- This technology is particularly useful in autonomous driving systems that remotely generate control values.
- By detecting and responding to a user's erroneous input or actuation of the accelerator pedal, the functional safety of the vehicle can be improved.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various autonomous driving systems, including:
- Self-driving cars
- Autonomous delivery vehicles
- Industrial vehicles and machinery
Problems Solved
The technology addresses the following problems:
- Ensuring the safety of autonomous driving systems by detecting and responding to erroneous user input.
- Preventing accidents or malfunctions caused by incorrect accelerator pedal actuation.
- Enhancing the functional safety of vehicles in autonomous driving mode.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved safety for both the occupants of the vehicle and other road users.
- Enhanced reliability and accuracy of autonomous driving systems.
- Increased confidence in the use of autonomous driving technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus for controlling driving of a vehicle including a sensor that detects an input amount of an accelerator pedal applied a user and includes a controller. The controller determines an erroneous actuation of the accelerator pedal based on the input amount of the accelerator pedal and determines whether to release autonomous driving according to whether the accelerator pedal is erroneously pressed or actuated. In technology that controls autonomous driving by remotely generating autonomous driving control values, it is possible to improve the functional safety of a vehicle by determining whether to release the autonomous driving by determining a user's erroneous input or actuation of the accelerator pedal.
