TRAFFIC SAFETY SUPPORT SYSTEM AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17936856 titled 'TRAFFIC SAFETY SUPPORT SYSTEM AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The predictor of a traffic safety support system described in the abstract includes various components such as movement state information acquirer, surrounding state information acquirer, movement state predictors, collision risk calculator, and support controller. These components work together to predict movement states and collision risks for a prediction target, enabling support control in case of potential collisions.

  • Movement state information acquirer: Acquires movement state information of the prediction target.
  • Surrounding state information acquirer: Acquires surrounding state information.
  • First movement state predictor: Predicts a first movement state based on movement state information.
  • Second movement state predictor: Predicts a second movement state based on driver state information.
  • Collision risk calculator: Calculates collision risk values for predicted movement states.
  • Support controller: Executes support control if collision risk values exceed a predetermined threshold.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems, and traffic management systems.

Problems Solved

1. Reducing the risk of collisions on the road. 2. Enhancing the safety and efficiency of traffic flow.

Benefits

1. Improved road safety for drivers and pedestrians. 2. Enhanced decision-making capabilities for autonomous vehicles. 3. Increased efficiency in traffic management.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Predictive Collision Risk Support System for Autonomous Vehicles and Traffic Management"

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include existing collision avoidance systems in vehicles and traffic management technologies.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle unpredictable movements of other vehicles or pedestrians?

The system may need to incorporate real-time data and advanced algorithms to adapt to sudden changes in movement patterns.

What are the limitations of the system in different weather conditions?

The system's accuracy and performance may be affected by adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain, snow, or fog. Additional sensors or data processing techniques may be required to address these challenges.


Original Abstract Submitted

A predictor of a traffic safety support system includes a movement state information acquirer configured to acquire movement state information of the prediction target, a surrounding state information acquirer configured to acquire surrounding state information, a first movement state predictor configured to predict a first predicted movement state on the basis of the movement state information, a second movement state predictor configured to predict a second predicted movement state on the basis of the driver state information, a collision risk calculator configured to calculate a first collision risk value for the first predicted movement state and a second collision risk value for the second predicted movement state, and a support controller configured to execute support control for the prediction target in a case where at least one of the first and second collision risk values is greater than a predetermined threshold value.
