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 patent application describes an apparatus and method for determining the deviation of an autonomous vehicle from its intended route. The key points of the invention are:

  • Obtaining surrounding information of the autonomous vehicle
  • Calculating a control-following route based on the surrounding information and high definition map data
  • Calculating an expected driving route for the autonomous vehicle based on the control-following route
  • Determining if there is a deviation from the expected driving route by comparing it with the control-following route
  • Changing the driving strategy based on the expected deviation of the autonomous vehicle

Potential Applications

This technology has potential applications in various industries and sectors, including:

  • Autonomous driving systems for passenger vehicles
  • Autonomous delivery vehicles for logistics and e-commerce companies
  • Autonomous agricultural vehicles for precision farming
  • Autonomous mining vehicles for improved safety and efficiency

Problems Solved

The technology addresses the following problems:

  • Ensuring that autonomous vehicles stay on their intended routes
  • Detecting and predicting deviations from the planned route
  • Adapting the driving strategy to prevent or minimize route deviations
  • Enhancing the overall safety and reliability of autonomous driving systems

Benefits

The use of this technology offers several benefits:

  • Improved accuracy in determining route deviations of autonomous vehicles
  • Enhanced control and adaptability of the driving strategy
  • Increased safety for passengers, pedestrians, and other vehicles on the road
  • Optimization of fuel efficiency and reduction of emissions through efficient route following


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.
