DRIVER'S AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKE (AEB) HANDLING SCORE CARD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17837722 titled 'DRIVER'S AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKE (AEB) HANDLING SCORE CARD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for controlling a vehicle using driving behavior involving automatic emergency braking (AEB) events. Here are the key points:
- The system consists of sensors and an electronic processor.
- It receives event data related to the user's driving behavior during AEB events from the sensors.
- The system assigns a weighted value to each attribute of the driving behavior based on a set of conditions and the event data.
- An event score is determined for the driving behavior based on the weighted values of the attributes.
- A user driving behavior score is calculated based on the event scores associated with one or more AEB events handled by the user.
- If the driving behavior score exceeds a threshold, the system activates a vehicle countermeasure related to the attributes.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Vehicle safety systems: The system can be used to enhance the effectiveness of AEB systems by analyzing and evaluating driving behavior during emergency braking events.
- Driver training: The system can provide feedback to drivers on their driving behavior during AEB events, helping them improve their skills and response times.
- Fleet management: The system can be used by fleet operators to monitor and assess the driving behavior of their drivers, promoting safer driving practices.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Inefficient AEB systems: By considering driving behavior during AEB events, the system can optimize the performance of AEB systems and reduce false alarms or missed interventions.
- Lack of driver feedback: The system provides a quantifiable score for driving behavior during AEB events, allowing drivers to understand their performance and make necessary improvements.
- Inadequate fleet monitoring: The system enables fleet operators to monitor and evaluate the driving behavior of their drivers, promoting safer driving practices and reducing accidents.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced vehicle safety: By analyzing driving behavior during AEB events, the system can improve the effectiveness of AEB systems, reducing the risk of accidents.
- Improved driver training: The system provides feedback to drivers, helping them understand their performance and develop better driving skills.
- Safer fleet operations: Fleet operators can use the system to monitor and assess the driving behavior of their drivers, promoting safer practices and reducing accidents.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system for controlling a vehicle using driving behavior involving automatic emergency braking (AEB) events. The system includes a plurality of sensors and an electronic processor. The system receives event data of an attribute of a driving behavior of a user related to handling an AEB event of a vehicle from the plurality of sensors. The system assigns a weighted value to the attribute based on a set of conditions for the attribute and the event data. The system determines an event score of the driving behavior related to the AEB event based on the weighted value of the attribute. The system determines a user driving behavior score based on the event score associated with one or more AEB events handled by the user. The system activates a vehicle countermeasure related to attributes responsive to determining the driving behavior score of the user is greater than a driving behavior threshold.
