APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING TRANSFER OF CONTROL AUTHORITY OF VEHICLE AND METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17743748 titled 'APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING TRANSFER OF CONTROL AUTHORITY OF VEHICLE AND METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes an apparatus and method for determining the transfer of control authority of a vehicle based on the presence of a reverse-driving vehicle in the driving lane during autonomous driving.
- The apparatus obtains information on the vehicle's surroundings and high definition map information.
- It determines whether a reverse-driving vehicle is present in front of the host vehicle on the driving lane.
- Based on this information, it determines whether to transfer control authority to the user.
- The transfer of control authority is required if a reverse-driving vehicle is detected in front of the host vehicle on the driving lane.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Autonomous driving systems: This technology can be used in autonomous vehicles to determine when to transfer control authority to the user based on the presence of reverse-driving vehicles.
- Traffic management: By detecting reverse-driving vehicles, this technology can help in managing traffic flow and preventing accidents.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensuring safety during autonomous driving: By considering the presence of reverse-driving vehicles, this technology helps in making informed decisions about when to transfer control authority to the user, ensuring safe driving conditions.
- Avoiding collisions: By detecting reverse-driving vehicles in front of the host vehicle, this technology helps in avoiding collisions and potential accidents.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced safety: By accurately determining when to transfer control authority, this technology improves the safety of autonomous driving systems.
- Efficient traffic management: By detecting reverse-driving vehicles, this technology can contribute to more efficient traffic flow and reduced congestion on the roads.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for determining transfer of control authority of a vehicle for determining whether transfer of control right of a vehicle is required according to whether a reverse-driving vehicle exists in a driving lane. According to the present disclosure, an apparatus for determining transfer of control authority of a vehicle may obtain information on the vehicle's surroundings, and determine whether a reverse-driving vehicle exists in front of the host vehicle on the driving lane during autonomous driving of the vehicle, based on the information on the surroundings of the vehicle and high definition map information and determine a situation in which the transfer of control authority to the user is required based on whether or not a reverse-driving vehicle exists in front of the host vehicle on the driving lane.
