SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING A TRAILER VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17946210 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING A TRAILER VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for controlling an untethered trailer vehicle by receiving sensor data about the vehicles, outputting information based on the data, receiving a new position for the trailer vehicle from a user, and transmitting the new position to the trailer vehicle.
- This technology involves receiving sensor data about vehicles and outputting information based on that data.
- Users can input new positions for trailer vehicles, which are then transmitted to the vehicles.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in the automotive industry for autonomous trailer control systems, logistics and transportation for improved efficiency, and recreational vehicles for easier maneuvering.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of manually controlling trailer vehicles, reduces the risk of accidents and collisions, and improves overall safety and convenience for users.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include increased efficiency in vehicle control, enhanced safety measures, improved user experience, and reduced stress and effort required for trailer maneuvering.
Potential Commercial Applications
Commercial applications of this technology could include autonomous driving systems for trailers, smart logistics solutions for transportation companies, and advanced control systems for recreational vehicles.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be existing trailer backup assist systems in vehicles, which assist drivers in backing up trailers by providing guidance and assistance.
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to controlling an untethered trailer vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving sensor data about at least one vehicle between a tow vehicle and at least one trailer vehicle and outputting, using an output system, information related to the at least one vehicle and the at least one trailer vehicle based on the sensor data. The method includes receiving from a user, using an input system, a new position for at least one trailer vehicle relative to the at least one vehicle and transmitting the new position to the at least one trailer vehicle.
