SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO MANAGE DRIVERS UNDER ABNORMAL DRIVING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17959866 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO MANAGE DRIVERS UNDER ABNORMAL DRIVING
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a system for detecting anomalous driving behavior in a vehicle and managing nearby vehicles to reduce risk. The system involves receiving an indication of the anomalous behavior, identifying nearby vehicles, generating a plan for these vehicles, determining target speeds for each vehicle, and communicating control messages to distribute the vehicles accordingly.
- Detecting anomalous driving behavior in a vehicle
- Managing nearby vehicles to mitigate risk due to the anomalous behavior
- Identifying nearby vehicles within a geographic area
- Generating a plan for the nearby vehicles based on the detected behavior
- Determining target speeds for each vehicle
- Communicating control messages to distribute the vehicles into the determined arrangement
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in autonomous vehicle systems, fleet management, and traffic control systems.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in reducing the risk of accidents caused by anomalous driving behavior and improves overall traffic flow and safety.
Benefits
The system enhances road safety, optimizes traffic flow, and reduces the likelihood of accidents.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications include integrating this system into autonomous vehicle technology, fleet management services, and traffic control systems.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be systems for detecting and preventing collisions between vehicles on the road.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system prioritize which nearby vehicles to manage in case of multiple instances of anomalous driving behavior?
The system may prioritize vehicles based on their proximity to the vehicle exhibiting anomalous behavior or other factors such as speed or direction.
What measures are in place to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the detected anomalous driving behavior?
The system may use multiple sensors and algorithms to cross-verify the detected behavior before taking any action.
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods are provided for detecting when a vehicle engages in anomalous driving behavior and managing nearby vehicles to mitigate risk to the nearby vehicles due to the anomalous driving behavior. According to some embodiments, the methods and systems comprise receiving an indication that an anomalous driving behavior of a first vehicle is detected, and identifying a plurality of vehicles within a geographic area of the first vehicle based on receiving the indication. The methods and systems further include generating an arrangement for the plurality of vehicles based on the detected anomalous driving behavior, determining a target speed for each of the plurality of vehicles based on the determined arrangement and a current speed of each of the plurality of vehicles, and communicating control messages to each of the plurality of vehicles. The control messages comprising the target speed to distribute the plurality of vehicles into the determined arrangement.
