ADAPTIVE CONTROL SYSTEMS AND METHODS USING WHEEL SENSOR DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17938473 titled 'ADAPTIVE CONTROL SYSTEMS AND METHODS USING WHEEL SENSOR DATA

Simplified Explanation

An adaptive control system for a vehicle with an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) utilizes real-time data from a hybrid wireless tire sensor (HWTS) to adaptively control the vehicle.

  • The system includes a HWTS attached to the interior of a tire, a processor connected to the ADAS, and a memory with instructions for gathering real-time data and using it to adaptively control the vehicle.
  • The processor performs operations based on the real-time data collected by the HWTS, allowing the ADAS to make adjustments to control the vehicle in response to changing conditions.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles, electric vehicles, and commercial fleets to enhance safety and performance.

Problems Solved

1. Improved vehicle control and safety through real-time data analysis. 2. Enhanced efficiency and performance by adapting to changing road conditions.

Benefits

1. Increased safety for drivers and passengers. 2. Improved vehicle handling and stability. 3. Enhanced overall driving experience.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Adaptive Control System for Vehicles with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems: Commercial Applications"

Possible Prior Art

There are existing adaptive control systems for vehicles, but the integration of a HWTS for real-time data collection is a novel aspect of this technology.

Unanswered Questions

1. How does the system handle data privacy and security concerns related to real-time data collection? 2. What are the potential limitations or challenges of implementing this technology in different types of vehicles and driving conditions?


Original Abstract Submitted

An adaptive control system is for a vehicle having an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS). The system includes a hybrid wireless tire sensor (HWTS) coupled to an interior of a tire of the vehicle, a processor electrically connected to the ADAS, and a memory. The memory has instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including gathering real time data with the HWTS, and utilizing the real time data with the ADAS to adaptively control the vehicle.
