APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING CUT-IN OF VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17892743 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING CUT-IN OF VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an apparatus and method for determining when a vehicle cuts in front of another vehicle. The apparatus includes a sensor that detects the surroundings of the vehicle and generates a point cloud. A controller then calculates the distance from a starting point to an obstacle based on the point cloud and calculates a distance ratio based on this distance. The distance ratio is then analyzed using an artificial neural network to determine if a surrounding vehicle cuts in and in which direction.

  • The apparatus includes a sensor that detects the surroundings of the vehicle and generates a point cloud.
  • A controller calculates the distance from a starting point to an obstacle based on the point cloud.
  • The controller also calculates a distance ratio based on the distance to the obstacle.
  • An artificial neural network is used to analyze the distance ratio.
  • The apparatus determines if a surrounding vehicle cuts in and in which direction.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in vehicles.
  • Autonomous vehicles.
  • Traffic monitoring and control systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Accurately determining when a vehicle cuts in front of another vehicle.
  • Minimizing the operation load on the system.
  • Increasing the accuracy of the determination performance.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Quick and accurate determination of cut-in vehicles.
  • Minimizes the workload on the system.
  • Increases the accuracy of determining cut-in vehicles.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are an apparatus and method for determining a cut-in of a vehicle. The apparatus includes a sensor that detects surroundings of the vehicle to generate a point cloud, and a controller that calculates a distance from a starting point to an obstacle based on the point cloud, calculates a distance ratio based on the distance to the obstacle, analyzes the distance ratio by using an artificial neural network, and determines whether a surrounding vehicle cuts in and a cut-in direction. Therefore, it is possible to quickly and accurately determine a cut-in vehicle by minimizing the operation load and increasing the accuracy of the determination performance.
