SUPERVISORY ELECTRICAL CONTROL ARCHITECTURE FOR AV AND MANUAL DRIVING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17818992 titled 'SUPERVISORY ELECTRICAL CONTROL ARCHITECTURE FOR AV AND MANUAL DRIVING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system where a computer with a processor and memory is programmed to generate vehicle-level commands based on received vehicle operation commands, which can be for an autonomous vehicle (AV) mode or manual mode. The processor also generates target actuator commands based on the vehicle-level commands and transmits them to actuators.

• The system includes a computer with a processor and memory.
• The processor generates vehicle-level commands based on received vehicle operation commands.
• The received commands can be for an autonomous vehicle (AV) mode or manual mode.
• The processor also generates target actuator commands based on the vehicle-level commands.
• The target actuator commands are transmitted to actuators.

Potential Applications

- Autonomous vehicles - Vehicle control systems - Robotics

Problems Solved

- Efficient generation of vehicle-level commands - Seamless transition between autonomous and manual modes - Precise control of actuators

Benefits

- Improved vehicle performance - Enhanced safety - Flexibility in operation modes

Original Abstract Submitted

A system comprises a computer including a processor and a memory. The memory includes instructions such that the processor is programmed to generate vehicle-level commands based on received vehicle operation commands. The received vehicle operation commands can comprise input commands corresponding to at least one of an autonomous vehicle (AV) mode of operation or a manual mode of operation. The processor is also programmed to generate target actuator commands based on the vehicle-level commands and transmit the target actuator commands to at least one actuator.
