VEHICLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, SERVER, VEHICLE, AND VEHICLE MANAGEMENT METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17943647 titled 'VEHICLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, SERVER, VEHICLE, AND VEHICLE MANAGEMENT METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a vehicle management system that includes a vehicle capable of autonomous driving and a control center for wireless communication. The vehicle has an autonomous driving system (ADS) with a memory storing an autonomous driving program, and an electronic control unit (ECU) with a memory storing a control program for managing the vehicle platform based on requests from the ADS. The control center obtains the versions of the autonomous driving program and the control program stored in the vehicle's memory and ensures that they are compatible with each other. It also manages the update process of the control program, ensuring that it is updated within a range of versions that are confirmed to be compatible with the autonomous driving program.

  • The vehicle management system includes a vehicle capable of autonomous driving and a control center for wireless communication.
  • The vehicle has an autonomous driving system (ADS) with a memory storing an autonomous driving program.
  • The vehicle also has an electronic control unit (ECU) with a memory storing a control program for managing the vehicle platform based on requests from the ADS.
  • The control center obtains the versions of the autonomous driving program and the control program stored in the vehicle's memory.
  • The control center ensures that the versions of the programs are compatible with each other.
  • The control center manages the update process of the control program, ensuring that it is updated within a range of versions that are confirmed to be compatible with the autonomous driving program.

Potential Applications

  • Autonomous vehicles
  • Vehicle fleet management systems
  • Transportation services

Problems Solved

  • Ensuring compatibility between the autonomous driving program and the control program
  • Managing and updating the control program within a range of compatible versions

Benefits

  • Improved safety and efficiency of autonomous driving systems
  • Simplified management and updating of control programs
  • Enhanced reliability and performance of vehicle management systems


Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle management system includes a vehicle configured to perform autonomous driving, and a control center configured to perform wireless communication. The vehicle includes an autonomous driving system (ADS) having a memory in which an autonomous driving program is stored, and an ECU having a memory in which a control program for controlling a vehicle platform according to a request from the ADS is stored. The control center acquires a version of the autonomous driving program stored in the memory and a version of the control program stored in the memory and acquires operation guaranteed versions of both the programs, which are confirmed to be compatible with each other. In addition, the control center manages an update process of the control program such that the control program stored in the memory is updated within a range of the operation guaranteed version.
