APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING DRIVING OF VEHICLE AND METHOD THEREFORE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17893749 titled 'APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING DRIVING OF VEHICLE AND METHOD THEREFORE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an apparatus and method for controlling the driving of a vehicle in foggy conditions. The apparatus includes a learning device that uses deep learning to classify the fog situation into different levels. A controller then determines the visible distances of the driver based on these levels and adjusts the driving of the vehicle accordingly.

  • The apparatus uses deep learning to classify fog situations into different levels.
  • A controller determines the visible distances of the driver based on the classified fog levels.
  • The driving of the vehicle is controlled based on the visible distance of the driver in the current fog situation.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in vehicles to improve driving safety in foggy conditions.
  • It can be used in autonomous vehicles to enhance their ability to navigate in fog.

Problems Solved

  • The technology addresses the problem of reduced visibility and increased risk of accidents in foggy conditions.
  • It solves the challenge of accurately determining the visible distance for the driver in different levels of fog.

Benefits

  • The apparatus and method provide a more accurate and reliable way to control the driving of a vehicle in foggy conditions.
  • It enhances the safety of both human-driven and autonomous vehicles by adjusting the driving based on the visible distance of the driver.
  • The use of deep learning allows for improved classification of fog levels, leading to better decision-making in controlling the vehicle.


Original Abstract Submitted

An apparatus for controlling driving of a vehicle and a method therefor are provided. The apparatus includes a learning device that classifies a fog situation into a plurality of levels based on deep learning and a controller that determines visible distances of a driver, which correspond to the plurality of levels, and controls driving of the vehicle based on a visible distance of the driver, which corresponds to a fog situation of a road where the vehicle is currently traveling
