APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING AUTONOMOUS DRIVING AND METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17848086 titled 'APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING AUTONOMOUS DRIVING AND METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an autonomous driving control apparatus and method for determining following-route deviation of an autonomous vehicle.

  • The apparatus and method obtain surrounding information of the autonomous vehicle.
  • They calculate a control-following route based on the surrounding information and high definition map information.
  • They calculate an expected driving route for the autonomous vehicle when it follows the control-following route.
  • They determine whether following-route deviation is expected by comparing the control-following route with the expected driving route.
  • They change the driving strategy based on the expected following-route deviation.

Potential Applications

  • Autonomous driving systems in vehicles
  • Transportation and logistics industries
  • Public transportation systems

Problems Solved

  • Ensures accurate route following by autonomous vehicles
  • Improves safety and efficiency of autonomous driving systems
  • Reduces the risk of accidents and collisions

Benefits

  • Enhanced control and navigation for autonomous vehicles
  • Improved reliability and accuracy of autonomous driving systems
  • Increased safety and reduced potential for accidents
  • Efficient and optimized route planning for autonomous vehicles


Original Abstract Submitted

An autonomous driving control apparatus and method are for determining following-route deviation of an autonomous vehicle. The apparatus and method: may obtain surrounding information of an autonomous vehicle; may calculate a control-following route according to a predetermined driving strategy based on the surrounding information and the high definition map information around an autonomous vehicle; may calculate an expected driving route on which the autonomous vehicle is expected to be driven, when autonomous driving according to the control-following route is performed; may determine whether following-route deviation of the autonomous vehicle is expected, by comparing the control-following route with the expected driving route; and may change the driving strategy based on whether the following-route deviation of the autonomous vehicle is expected.
