ROUTE PROVIDING DEVICE AND ROUTE PROVIDING METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17923199 titled 'ROUTE PROVIDING DEVICE AND ROUTE PROVIDING METHOD THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a processor in a route providing device that controls a vehicle's speed and behavior in a cruise control mode. When the vehicle enters this mode, it travels at a speed set by the user in the current lane. If the vehicle senses another vehicle traveling slower in front of it, the processor controls the vehicle in a preconfigured manner.
- Processor in a route providing device controls vehicle speed and behavior in a cruise control mode.
- Vehicle travels at a speed set by the user in the current lane.
- If a slower vehicle is sensed in front, the processor controls the vehicle in a preconfigured manner.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various scenarios where cruise control and vehicle behavior control are desired, such as:
- Automotive industry: Integration into vehicles to enhance cruise control functionality and improve safety.
- Transportation services: Implementation in autonomous vehicles or fleet management systems to optimize speed and behavior control.
- Traffic management: Integration into intelligent transportation systems to regulate vehicle speed and maintain traffic flow.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the following problems:
- Inefficient speed control: Helps maintain a consistent speed set by the user, even when encountering slower vehicles.
- Safety concerns: Enables the vehicle to respond appropriately to slower vehicles in front, reducing the risk of accidents.
- Driver convenience: Allows drivers to relax and rely on the cruise control system to handle speed adjustments in traffic.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved safety: Ensures the vehicle responds appropriately to slower vehicles, reducing the likelihood of collisions.
- Enhanced efficiency: Maintains a consistent speed, optimizing fuel consumption and reducing traffic congestion.
- Driver comfort: Relieves the driver from constantly adjusting speed, providing a more relaxed driving experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
A processor of a route providing device provided in a server according to an embodiment of the present invention: at the time of entry into a cruise control mode for causing a vehicle to travel at a speed configured by a user, causes the vehicle to travel at the configured speed in a first lane in which the vehicle is current travelling; and, when another vehicle, which is travelling at a speed slower than the configured speed in front of the vehicle, is sensed through a sensor provided in the vehicle, controls the vehicle in a preconfigured manner.
