DYNAMIC ADAPTIVE SITE GATING USING VEHICLES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17956152 titled 'DYNAMIC ADAPTIVE SITE GATING USING VEHICLES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system that receives a request for gate formation, determines the number of vehicles needed to form the gate, selects available vehicles in proximity to the location, instructs the selected vehicles to travel autonomously to the location and arrange in a designated formation to form the gate.
- System for autonomous gate formation:
- Receives request for gate formation - Determines number of vehicles needed - Selects available vehicles in proximity - Instructs vehicles to travel autonomously and form gate
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in: - Event management for organizing vehicle queues - Military operations for strategic vehicle formations
Problems Solved
- Efficient organization of vehicles in designated formations - Reduction of human intervention in vehicle positioning
Benefits
- Improved traffic flow and organization - Enhanced security through autonomous gate formation
Potential Commercial Applications
"Autonomous Gate Formation Technology for Event Management"
Possible Prior Art
There are existing systems for autonomous vehicle coordination in various industries, but specific prior art related to autonomous gate formation may not be readily available.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system ensure the safety of the vehicles during autonomous travel and formation?
The system may incorporate sensors and communication technology to avoid collisions and ensure smooth coordination among the vehicles.
What is the scalability of the system in handling large numbers of vehicles for gate formation?
The system's scalability may depend on factors such as the processing power of the system and the communication capabilities of the vehicles involved.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system receives a request for gate formation, including indication of a location where one or more vehicles are to form a gate. The system determines a number of vehicles to form the gate. The system also determines available vehicles in proximity to the location and, responsive to the available vehicles including at least the number of vehicles, selects the number of vehicles from the available vehicles to serve as gate vehicles. Also, the system instructs the gate vehicles to autonomously travel to the location and arrange in a designated formation, included in the instruction, to form the gate.
