VEHICLE PLATFORM, VEHICLE CONTROL INTERFACE BOX, AND AUTONOMOUS DRIVING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17890935 titled 'VEHICLE PLATFORM, VEHICLE CONTROL INTERFACE BOX, AND AUTONOMOUS DRIVING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
Abstract
The patent application describes a configuration for a Vehicle Platform (VP) that allows for the installation of an Autonomous Driving System (ADS). The VP consists of a base vehicle and a Vehicle Controller Interface Box (VCIB). The VCIB serves as a communication interface between the base vehicle and the ADS, using CAN communication. The VCIB includes a reception unit, an index value calculation unit, and a transmission unit. The reception unit receives control requests from the ADS for the base vehicle. The index value calculation unit calculates an index value that indicates the level of congestion in the CAN communication. The transmission unit then sends this index value back to the ADS.
Bullet Points
- The patent application describes a configuration for a Vehicle Platform (VP) that allows for the installation of an Autonomous Driving System (ADS).
- The VP consists of a base vehicle and a Vehicle Controller Interface Box (VCIB).
- The VCIB acts as a communication interface between the base vehicle and the ADS, using CAN communication.
- The VCIB includes a reception unit, an index value calculation unit, and a transmission unit.
- The reception unit receives control requests from the ADS for the base vehicle.
- The index value calculation unit calculates an index value that indicates the level of congestion in the CAN communication.

Problems Solved
- Addressing the challenge of integrating an ADS into a VP.
- Improving communication between the base vehicle and the ADS.
- Managing and mitigating congestion in the CAN communication system.
Benefits
- Enables the installation of an ADS in a VP.
- Facilitates efficient and reliable communication between the base vehicle and the ADS.
- Provides a mechanism to assess and manage congestion in the CAN communication system.
Original Abstract Submitted
A VP is configured such that an ADS is installable in the VP. The VP includes a base vehicle and a VCIB. The VCIB acts as an interface between the base vehicle and the ADS by CAN communication. The VCIB includes a reception unit, an index value calculation unit, and a transmission unit. The reception unit receives a control request for the base vehicle from the ADS. The index value calculation unit calculates an index value showing a degree of congestion of the CAN communication. The transmission unit transmits the index value to the ADS.
