VEHICLE COMMUNICATION AND NAVIGATION SYSTEMS FOR ROAD SAFETY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17859045 titled 'VEHICLE COMMUNICATION AND NAVIGATION SYSTEMS FOR ROAD SAFETY
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes systems, methods, and apparatuses related to vehicle navigation systems.
- A first vehicle detects an environmental condition using a sensor and determines the certainty of the condition.
- The first vehicle communicates with a second vehicle that is near the condition.
- The second vehicle is notified about the condition detected by the first vehicle.
- The second vehicle can re-route or integrate the condition into its navigation map.
Potential Applications
This technology has several potential applications:
- Improved safety: Vehicles can be alerted about environmental conditions ahead, allowing them to take necessary precautions or choose alternative routes.
- Efficient navigation: Vehicles can dynamically re-route based on real-time environmental conditions, optimizing travel time and fuel consumption.
- Traffic management: By integrating environmental conditions into navigation maps, traffic authorities can better manage traffic flow and reduce congestion.
- Emergency response: Vehicles can be quickly notified about hazardous conditions, enabling emergency services to respond more effectively.
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems, methods, and apparatuses related to vehicle navigation systems are described. A first vehicle may encounter an environmental condition. The first vehicle may be in communication with a second vehicle having a route that is proximate the proximate condition. The first vehicle may detect an environmental condition using a sensor on the first vehicle and determine certainty of the environmental condition above a threshold. The second vehicle may be notified about the environmental condition detected by the first vehicle based on an expectation that the second vehicle may encounter the environmental condition. The second vehicle may re-route in response to the environmental condition, and/or integrate the environmental condition in the navigation map.
