==PREDICTION OF PEDESTRIAN ROAD CROSSING WITH VEHICLE SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17961885 titled 'PREDICTION OF PEDESTRIAN ROAD CROSSING WITH VEHICLE SENSOR

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a system for controlling the operation of a vehicle using sensors, including a radar unit, to gather data about a scene and determine the status of pedestrians in relation to the vehicle.

* The system includes one or more sensors connected to the vehicle, such as a radar unit.
* A command unit processes the data obtained by the sensors, determining the orientation angle, Doppler frequency, and distance of pedestrians from the road border.
* The orientation angle is based on the pedestrian's heading relative to the road direction, helping designate the pedestrian's status as either crossing or not crossing.

== Potential Applications ==
The technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, pedestrian detection systems, and advanced driver assistance systems.

== Problems Solved ==
The system helps improve pedestrian safety by accurately determining their status in relation to the vehicle, reducing the risk of accidents.

== Benefits ==
- Enhanced pedestrian safety
- Improved decision-making for vehicle operation
- Potential for reducing accidents and injuries

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
- Automotive industry for autonomous vehicles
- Transportation companies for fleet management systems
- Urban planning for pedestrian safety initiatives

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be pedestrian detection systems in vehicles that use cameras and sensors to identify pedestrians in the vehicle's vicinity.

=== What are the specific technical specifications of the sensors used in this system? ===

The abstract does not provide detailed information on the specific technical specifications of the sensors used in the system.

=== How does the system differentiate between pedestrians and other objects in the scene? ===

The abstract does not mention how the system differentiates between pedestrians and other objects in the scene based on the data obtained from the sensors.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A system of controlling operation of a vehicle includes one or more sensors operatively connected to the vehicle. The sensors are configured to obtain respective data of a scene and include a radar unit. A command unit is adapted to receive the respective data and includes a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory on which instructions are recorded. The command unit is configured to determine an orientation angle of a pedestrian in the scene, a Doppler frequency of the pedestrian and a distance of the pedestrian from a border of a road, based in part on the respective data. The orientation angle is based on a heading of the pedestrian relative to a direction of a road. The command unit is configured to designate a status of the pedestrian as either crossing or not crossing based on the distance, the orientation angle and the Doppler frequency of the pedestrian.
